Abstract: Understanding the impact of thermally and mechanically loading biological tissue to supraphysiological levels is becoming of increasing importance as complex multi-physical tissue-device ...

Watch out — You can get different results depending on how you mesh the model. Second-order shell elements: Meshing the thin band with secondorder-shell elements produces precise curvilinear geometry.
