A simplified calculation model for tissue properties
Viscous mechanical properties of biological tissues can now be described more easily than before. This is shown by a recently published paper by a team of the Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences Krems. The team demonstrated that an established mathematical model for soft biological tissues can be greatly simplified,…
