- Abstract
Accurate description of the mechanical properties for soft tissues can help surgeon predict the state during surgery. In unconfined compression tests (UCT) of soft tissue, a tiny force is typically applied to determine the starting position of compression. The preloading force will cause the obtained material parameters to deviate from the real parameters. In this paper, a novel elimination method was proposed to eliminate the effect of the preloading force. The effects of preloading force on mechanical response were analyzed by performing unconfined compression numerical tests. Different preloading force were applied in the simulation. The parameters obtained by traditional optimization method were defined as preloading material parameters. In the proposed method, an estimation model between the preloading material parameters and the preloading force was established to estimate real parameters. The proposed elimination method was verified by three sample diameters and material parameters. The results show that the material parameters obtained by proposed method are closer to the real parameters (estimated accuracy exceeds 97%). The proposed method can obtain more accurate constitutive model parameters, and eliminate the effect of preloading force.
