Short abstract and comments
Establishement of the mechanical properties of soft tissues based on imagiology and numerical simulation. The main objective of this project is to establish a set of procedures to obtain the mechanical properties of soft tissues.
Potential uses/indications
These methodologies should be applied to ligaments, tendons and also to muscles, including its passive and active behaviour.
