How does the concept of uniaxial stress enhance our understanding of the
biomechanics of structures like the chordae tendineae in the heart?

In what ways do soft tissues respond to stress differently than more rigid,

isotropic, homogenous materials, and what does this mean for biomedical

applications? (use LEHI to talk)

Why is a deep understanding of stress analysis in pressurized tubes essential for
advancements in biomedical engineering? Feel free to use examples from
videos we used in class. (Include examples of thin and thick-walled tubes)

 How important are mechanical signals in shaping the cellular response within the

venous wall during coronary bypass surgery? (Provide some details)

 What are the broader clinical implications of understanding stress in thin-walled

structures, particularly regarding the prevention and treatment of abdominal

aortic aneurysms?

How does knowledge the behavior of biological tissues under pressure inform

our understanding of synthetic materials in tissue engineering, and what does

this mean for future innovations?

How might biomechanical analysis reshape our understanding of aneurysm

rupture risk and its implications for treatment?

What insights can we gain from comparing stress distribution in thin-walled

versus thick-walled cylindrical structures in engineering and biology?

 In what ways does the inclusion of residual stress alter our understanding of

transmural stress distribution in arteries?

How significant are elastic fibers to the structural integrity of arteries, and what

are the broader implications of genetic mutations on their function?
