FE modeling of biological tissues and physiological behavior is now becoming common practice with the improvement in finite element analysis (FEA) software and the significant increase in capability of computing resources. There are many uses for FEA of this nature, one of which has been simulating the mechanical behavior of implant devices for fracture repair. FE analysis offers insight into the mechanistic behavior of fixation plates used in rigid internal fixation and, if modeled carefully, could eventually become an accurate design tool.

Anisotropy exists in many soft biological tissues. The most common anisotropy is transverse isotropy, which is typical for fiber-reinforced structures, such as the brain white matter, tendon and muscle. Although many methods have been proposed to determine tissue properties, techniques to characterize transversely isotropic materials remain limited. The goal of this study is to investigate the feasibility of asymmetric indentation coupled with numerical optimization based on inverse finite element (FE) simulation to characterize transversely isotropic soft biological tissues. The proposed approach combining indentation and optimization may provide a useful general framework to characterize a variety of fiber-reinforced soft tissues in the future.
