Accepted Answer

Mixed displacement-pressure formulation

Question 2

For a linear elastic isotropic tissue in small-strain finite element analysis, which pair of material constants is sufficient to define the constitutive law completely?

Accepted Answer

Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio

In inverse finite element identification of soft tissue properties, what is typically minimized?

Accepted Answer

Difference between measured and simulated response

Question 4

A first-order fully integrated hexahedral element is used for nearly incompressible tissue and exhibits an unrealistically stiff response. The most likely numerical issue is:

Accepted Answer

Volumetric locking

Question 5

A soft tissue specimen undergoes large rotations and strains during compression. Which kinematic formulation is most suitable in the finite element model?

Accepted Answer
