Our research
Explore the main areas of research undertaken by the Biomechanical Research group.
Our research focuses on understanding how biological tissues behave and how engineering can improve diagnosis and treatment. We combine computational modelling, laboratory testing and clinical collaboration to tackle real healthcare challenges. Explore our research themes, current projects and the impact our work is making in biomechanics and medical engineering.
Material characterisation
We have carried out extensive tests to determine the mechanical properties of soft tissues.
Numerical simulation
Our simulations represent closely the mechanical properties of materials and the organ’s topography.
Medical device development
We are involved in the development of a number of medical devices to improve clinical practice.
Medical procedures
Mathematical algorithms have been developed to improve customisation of surgical procedures.
