Development of a Micromorphic (Multiscale) Material Model aimed at Cardiac Tissue Mechanics by Dollery, Devin

“…Secondly, Sansour's model is applied to cardiac modelling, whereby a macro-scale strain measure represents the deformation of the ECM of the tissue, a micro-scale strain measure represents the muscle fibres, and a third strain measure describes of the interaction of both constituents. Separate constitutive equations are developed to give unique stiffness responses to both the ECM and the myocytes. …”
