Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Computational Mechanics
  • Tissue Mechanics

Background:

  • Residual stress in biological tissues influences their mechanical behavior and function.
  • Accurate characterization of residual stress is crucial for understanding tissue mechanics and disease.
  • Existing methods for residual stress analysis may have limitations in parameterization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a general theory for computing and identifying the stress field in residually stressed tissues.
  • To introduce a novel method for identifying initial strain fields using experimental data.
  • To evaluate the proposed method by applying it to in vivo measurements of the human aorta.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a general theory based on local unloading to define a stress-free state.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed theory provides a framework for computing and identifying residual stress fields.
    • Application to the human aorta demonstrated the method's potential for initial strain field identification.
    • The identified initial strain was inconsistent with results from the opening-angle method.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed theory offers a robust approach to analyzing residual stress in biological tissues.
    • The opening-angle method exhibits a restrictive parameterization for residual strain, as evidenced by the human aorta application.
    • This work highlights the need for advanced methods in characterizing complex tissue biomechanics.
