Abstract Soft biological tissues, like cartilage or arteries, are often modeled as biphasic, considering both solid matrix and interstitial fluid [1]. This biphasic behavior involves chemo-mechanical couplings that control interstitial fluid osmotic pressure [2]. Therefore, the research on the inverse problems of osmotic pressure in soft tissues is important. In this paper, the authors propose a virtual fields method (VFM) for identifying the constitutive model of solid-liquid biphasic hyperelasticity. This method constructs virtual fields based on finite elements (FE) to solve linearly independent virtual fields that can automatically satisfy constraint conditions of the solution of VFM.… More >
