Identification of soft tissue material constants using tailored finite element model based regressions

Efficient and reliable tools are needed to accurately characterize the mechan- ical properties of soft tissue. A knowledge of Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio is essential to model mechanical behavior and quantify stresses and strain within soft tissues. The goal of this study was to in...
