Recovery of the Shear Modulus and Residual Stress of Hyperelastic Soft Tissues by Inverse Spectral Techniques

Inverse spectral techniques are developed in this dissertation for recovering the shear modulus and residual stress of soft tissues. Shear modulus is one of several quantities for measuring the stiffness of a material, and hence estimating it accurately is an important factor in tissue characterizat...
