...Zhihe Jin This study describes a micromechanics model for estimating the effective vascular permeability for a biological tissue containing parallel microvessels subjected to finite deformations. The representative volume element in the proposed model consists of a hollow cylinder with the inner...

... for testing soft biological tissues Kolsky bar, also commonly known as split Hopkinson pressure bar, originally developed by Kolsky ( 19 ), has been widely used for studying the rate dependency of the compressive flow behavior of ductile metals, typically at the strain rates of 10 2 – 10...
