- Models of tissue mechanics enable automated surgeries and provide long term predictions of recovery. This paper provided a robust model for anisotropic soft tissues and their implementation with finite elements. We show how our model significantly changed the predicted forces for a stent deployment. Part of this work fed into the grant XS-Meta (contact: Professor of Mathematics, NUI Galway) and an Innovative Training Network (2021, EC, €3.7m). It led to models on stress tissue (contact: Associate Professor in Mathematical Physics, Politecnico di Milano) and helped colleagues to: simulated arterial walls, optimised stent deployment, and improved models of tendons in knees.
