Soft tissues of human body have complex structures and different mechanical behaviors than those of traditional engineering materials. There is a great urge to understand tissue behavior of human body. Experimental data is needed for improvement of soft tissue modeling and advancement in implants and prosthesis, as well as diagnosis of diseases. Mechanical behavior and responses change when tissue loses its liveliness and viability. One of the techniques for soft tissue testing is indentation, which is applied on live tissue in its physiological environment. Indentation affords several advantages over other types of tests such as uniaxial tension, biaxial tension, and simple shear and suction, thus it is of interest to develop new indentation techniques from which more valid data can be extracted. In this study a new indenter device was designed and constructed. Displacement and force rate cyclic loading, and relaxation experiments were conducted on human arm. The in-vivo force rate controlled cyclic loading test method which is novel is compared with the traditional displacement controlled cyclic loading tests. Anisotropic behavior of tissue cannot be determined by axisymmetric tips, therefore ellipsoid tips were used for examining anisotropy and inplane material direction of bulk soft tissues

In-vivo testing of biological bulk soft tissues by a non-axisymmetric tip indenter using displacement and force control Ashrafi, Parinaz; Tönük, Ergin; Bozkurt, Murat; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2015) Soft tissues of human body have complex structures and different mechanical behaviors than those of traditional engineering materials. There is a great urge to understand tissue behavior of human body. Experimental data is needed for improvement of soft tissue modeling and advancement in implants and prosthesis, as well as diagnosis of diseases.

Development and characterization of silk fibroin and citrus pectin based scaffolds for bone tissue engineering Ataol, Sibel; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Akdağ, Akın; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2014) Current strategies of tissue engineering aim to design and develop biologically, physicochemically and mechanically proper scaffolds. Natural polymers are gaining interest in applications since they have already many roles in biochemical pathways and have proper mechanical properties. The objective of this thesis is to develop natural silk fibroin (SF) and citrus pectin (PEC) based three-dimensional porous scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications. Additionally, we aimed to synthesize nano calcium ...
IN VIVO INDENTER EXPERIMENTS VIA ELLIPSOID INDENTER TIPS TO DETERMINE THE PERSONAL AND LOCAL IN-PLANE ANISOTROPIC MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF SOFT BIOLOGICAL TISSUES Petekkaya, Ali Tolga; Tönük, Ergin (2011-03-01) Mechanical interaction of human body with surrounding is mostly via soft tissues because human body is nearly entirely covered with them. Finite element method, extensively used in various fields of engineering, could not reach to a similar success in simulating soft tissues (especially for modeling the interaction with exoskeletal prosteses and orthoses) mainly because soft tissue mechanical behavior is not known in detail in addition to relatively complex mechanical response of soft tissues.
Polymeric scaffolds for bioactive agent delivery in bone tissue engineering Uçar, Şeniz; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Yılgör, Pınar; Department of Chemistry (2012) Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary field that is rapidly emerging as a promising new approach in the restoration and reconstruction of tissues. In this approach, three dimensional (3D) scaffolds are of great importance. Scaffolds function both as supports for cell growth and depot for sustained release of required active agents (e.g. enzymes, genes, antibiotics, growth factors). Scaffolds should possess certain properties in accordance with usage conditions. Wet-spinning is a simple technique that ha...
A comparative study of anisotropic hyperelastic models of biological soft tissues Açan, Alp Kağan; Dal, Hüsnü; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-8) In the last two decades, there has been significant growth of interest in the mechanical behavior of biological soft tissues approached from the continuum mechanical perspective. A plenty of constitutive models have been proposed that represent the anisotropic hyperelastic behavior of biological soft tissues. Generally, invariant and fiber dispersion-based models are two main categories considered during the modeling steps. Among the anisotropic models, fiber dispersion-based constitutive models are known t...
