| Summary: | In this work we develop and investigate a mathematical model for the description of the mechanical behavior of soft, hydrated tissues with significant perfusion. We set up and derive the mathematical description and balance laws using the continuum mixture theory as the theoretical framework. The constitutive relations suitable to describe perfumed soft tissue and appropriate bounder conditions are discussed in terms of its possible determination from experimental data. We solve illustrative steady, one and two dimensional problems of disunion through snidely deformed slab, and develop and implement appropriate numerical schemes. The main focus is on developing an algorithm based on finite elements for finding approximate solution to the continuous, nonlinear, steady, two dimensional problem. |
