Simulation of the cardiovascular system
Concerning the cardiovascular research line, the AMB group has a wide
experience in the development of constitutive laws and experimental characterization for vascular tissue.
Currently our research lines are focused on simulating multiphysics and
multiscale phenomena. We have developed advanced constitutive laws to
reproduce inelastic effects on soft tissue that incorporates microstructural
information, which determine the macroscopic performance of the tissue.
The experimental tests performed in our tissue characterization laboratory
allow fitting and validating the developed m
odels. Interactions of the
tissue with biomaterials or medical devices have been also studied.
We have important collaborations with clinical partners in hospitals to
apply our research in problems with special clinical interest. These are some examples of our expertise.
