In this case we considered a linear elastic isotropic material model (Eskandari and Kuhl, 2015) with Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio . The regional heterogeneity of this model meant each element of the mesh had its own two parameters that were found by the optimization algorithm. The shear modulus of each element was then calculated using and regionally mapped onto the lung surface.
