Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (RSA) has become a very common procedure for shoulder joint replacement, even for scenarios where an anatomical reconstruction would traditionally be used. In this study, we investigate joint reaction forces…
In this paper we present a large-deformation formulation of the mechanics of remodeling. Remodeling is anelasticity with an internal constraint -- material evolutions that are mass and volume preserving. In this special class of material…
A portable imaging system for the on-site detection of shoulder injury is necessary to identify its extent and avoid its development to severe condition. Here, firstly a microwave tomography system is introduced using state-of-the-art…
The mechanical behaviour of solid biological tissues has long been described using models based on classical continuum mechanics. However, the classical continuum theories of elasticity and viscoelasticity cannot easily capture the…
Capsular contracture is a pathological response to implant-based reconstructive breast surgery, where the ``capsule'' (tissue surrounding an implant) painfully thickens, contracts and deforms. It is known to affect breast-cancer survivors…
Using formal asymptotic methods we derive a free boundary problem representing one of the simplest mathematical descriptions of the growth and death of a tumour or other biological tissue. The mathematical model takes the form of a closed…

Healing of Tendon-bone interface(TBI) injuries is slow and is often repaired with scar tissue formation that compromises normal function. Despite the increasing maturity of surgical techniques, re-tearing of the rotator cuff after surgery…
The advent of computational statistical disciplines, such as machine learning, is leading to a paradigm shift in the way we conceive the design of new compounds. Today computational science does not only provide a sound understanding of…
Structured reconstruction is a non-trivial dense prediction problem, which extracts structural information (\eg, building corners and edges) from a raster image, then reconstructs it to a 2D planar graph accordingly. Compared with common…
When they are damaged or injured, soft biological tissues are able to self-repair and heal. Mechanics is critical during the healing process, as the damaged extracellular matrix (ECM) tends to be replaced with a new undamaged ECM supporting…
The complex ways in which humans utilize their bodies in sports and martial arts are remarkable, and human motion analysis is one of the most effective tools for robot body design and control. On the other hand, motion analysis is not easy,…
