[EN] Constrained mixture models of soft tissue growth and remodeling can simulate many evolving conditions in health as well as in disease and its treatment, but they can be computationally expensive. In this paper, we ...
[EN] Biological growth and remodeling processes are necessarily time-dependent due to the finite periods needed for the material to be synthesized, deposited, degraded, and/or reorganized and, hence, so have been predominantly ...
