01 June 2018 Project Sheet
INEGI's Contribution
- Development of an electro-chemo-mechanical model to simulate uterine contractions.
- Development of a constitutive model with viscoelasticity.
- Creation and validation of morphing algorithms.
- Technical and scientific project management.
Results/Impact
