Significance of output:

The multi-scale mechanical model of biological soft tissues (first of its kind) developed was designed so that constitutive parameters can directly be extracted from physical measurements by segregating orthogonal deformation modes of its constituents. Another desirable feature of the constitutive equations is that the response is based on physical geometrical/structural parameters that can be measured experimentally or determined ab initio from molecular dynamic simulations. This work has attracted the interest of Procter & Gamble skin R&D Centre in Reading which, as a result, currently co-funds a PhD project at the University of Southampton [1].
