Abstract
Extended continuum mechanical approaches are now becoming increasingly popular for modeling various types of microstructured materials such as foams and porous solids. The potential advantages of the microcontinuum approach are currently being investigated in the field of biomechanical modeling. In this field, conducting a numerical investigation of the material response is evidently of paramount importance. This study sought to investigate the potential of the (constrained) microstretch modeling method. The problem's field equations have been solved by applying a numerical approach combining the conventional isotropic boundary elements method with local radial point interpolation. Our resulting numerical examples demonstrated that the model is a good candidate for the mechanical modeling of living tissues.
