... tissue samples were collected from Rhesus macaques before pregnancy and at three gestational time points. Indentation and tension mechanical tests were conducted, coupled with digital image correlation (DIC), constitutive material modeling, and inverse finite element analysis (IFEA) to characterize...

..., was applied to each reconstructed mesh. Surface node displacements of each model were fitted to the experimental displacements using an inverse finite element method, which estimated a unique set of 13 model parameters. The predictions of the proposed constitutive model matched the 3D experimental...
