An orthotropic electro-viscoelastic model for the heart with stress-assisted diffusion.

abstract：:Experiments have demonstrated biological tissues grow by mechanically sensing their localized curvature, therefore making geometry a key consideration for tissue scaffold design. We developed a simulation approach for modeling tissue growth on beam-based geometries of repeating unit cells, with four lattice topologies...
