Solid Mechanics Effects in Cryopreservation Via Vitrification

Cryopreservation via vitrification is the most promising means for long-term preservation of bulky tissues and organs. While the road to successful cryopreservation is paved with obstacles, of paramount importance is thermo-mechanical stress, which can lead to fracture. In order to model the mechani...
