Tissue mechanics (viscoelasticity)

Layer 3 — Biologyin the biomechanics subtree

Soft tissues (skin, tendon, arterial wall) exhibit stress-relaxation and creep modelled by generalised Maxwell or Kelvin–Voigt networks. Fung's quasi-linear viscoelasticity σ(t) = ∫G(t–τ)∂ε/∂τ dτ is the workhorse formulation.
