Biomechanical modeling of soft tissue is a complex problem for achieving realistic surgical simulations, surgical planning, and scientific analysis. In the literature, three categories of biomechanical models: spline based models, spring models, and finite element models (FEMs) are mainly used for dealing with this problem. Among these, spline based models offer relatively fast and realistic soft tissue simulations by utilizing both the spring and FEMs. In this paper, a new dynamic volume spline model for human face skin is proposed and the performance of our model is discussed by estimating the results of facial surgery of three different patients. Face models of the patients are obtained from 3D CT/MR scans by segmenting the skull, muscle, and skin layers. In these face models, the skull and the muscle layers are considered as the rigid boundary for the skin layer and the skin layer is modeled by our dynamic volume spline. The control points of the dynamic volume spline are localized masses with viscoelastic material properties (stiffness, damping, and mass). These parameters are computed from the skin material properties that were published in the literature. Once the face models are generated, facial surgery plannings are simulated. Infact, the pre‐surgery face models are modified according to the surgical plans and the estimated post‐surgery face models are compared with the actual post‐surgery face models. Moreover, in order to discuss the performance of our dynamic volume spline model, the same analyses are performed on the post‐surgery estimations of a conventional tool.

Phase-field approach to model fracture in human aorta Gültekin, Osman; Holzapfel, Gerhard A.; Dal, Hüsnü (null; 2019-08-23) Over the last decades the supra-physiological and pathological aspects of arterial tissues have become a prominent research topic in computational biomechanics in terms of constitutive modeling considering damage and fracture [1]. The current study presents a variational approach to the fracture of human arterial walls, featuring a thermodynamically consistent, gradient-type, diffusive crack phase-field approach. A power balance renders the Euler-Lagrange equations of the multi-field problem, i.e. the defor...
Computational modeling of growth: systemic and pulmonary hypertension in the heart Rausch, M. K.; Dam, A.; Göktepe, Serdar; Abilez, O. J.; Kuhl, E. (2011-12-01) We introduce a novel constitutive model for growing soft biological tissue and study its performance in two characteristic cases of mechanically induced wall thickening of the heart. We adopt the concept of an incompatible growth configuration introducing the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into an elastic and a growth part. The key feature of the model is the definition of the evolution equation for the growth tensor which we motivate by pressure-overload-induced sarcomerogenesis. ...
Anatomical meniscus construct with zone specific biochemical composition and structural organization Bahcecioglu, G.; Bilgen, B.; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2019-10-01) A PCL/hydrogel construct that would mimic the structural organization, biochemistry and anatomy of meniscus was engineered. The compressive (380 +/- 40 kPa) and tensile modulus (18.2 +/- 0.9 MPa) of the PCL scaffolds were increased significantly when constructs were printed with a shifted design and circumferential strands mimicking the collagen organization in native tissue (p < 0.05). Presence of circumferentially aligned PCL strands also led to elongation and alignment of the human fibrochondrocytes. Gen...
Patient-specific orthopedic implant design and production with tissue engineering method Büyüksungur, Senem; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Department of Biotechnology (2019) Customized and patient specific, tissue engineered constructs are needed for the treatment of irregular shaped bone defects. This study presents the preparation of two different 3D printed scaffolds. 1) PCL-based scaffolds modified with nanohydroxyapatite (HAp) and poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF), and 2) Cell carrying hybrid scaffolds of PCL/GelMA. 3D printed, PCL-based scaffolds were coated with HAp or HAp/PPF before cell seeding and their presence enhanced osteoconductivity and compressive mechanical stren...
Native extracellular matrix/fibroin hydrogels for adipose tissue engineering with enhanced vascularization Kayabolen, Alisan; Keskin, Dilek; Aykan, Andac; Karslioglu, Yildirim; Zor, Fatih; Tezcaner, Ayşen (IOP Publishing, 2017-06-23) Adipose tissue engineering is a promising field for regeneration of soft tissue defects. However, vascularization is needed since nutrients and oxygen cannot reach cells in thick implants by diffusion. Obtaining a biocompatible scaffold with good mechanical properties is another problem. In this study, we aimed to develop thick and vascularized adipose tissue constructs supporting cell viability and adipose tissue regeneration. Hydrogels were prepared by mixing rat decellularized adipose tissue (DAT) and si...
