A Finite Element Model of Pregnancy Derived From Maternal Sonography: Effect of Uterine And Cervical Structural Properties on Cervical Mechanical Loading

Identification and treatment of pregnancies at risk for preterm birth is a central challenge in obstetric research. Many of the known causes of preterm birth originate from mechanical failure in reproductive tissues. To better understand the biomechanical environment of the gravi...
