Recent advancements in soft tissue damage models play an essential role in developing artificial tissues, medical devices\/implants, and surgical intervention practices. The current article reviews the recently developed damage models and rupture models that considered the microstructure of the tissues. Earlier review works presented damage and rupture separately, wherein this work reviews both damage and rupture in soft tissues. Wherein the present article provides a detailed review of various models on the damage evolution and tear in soft tissues focusing on key conceptual ideas, advantages, limitations, and challenges. Some key challenges of damage and rupture models are outlined in the article, which helps extend the present damage and rupture models to various soft tissues.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bioengineering9010026","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,10]],"date-time":"2022-01-10T17:42:25Z","timestamp":1641836545000},"page":"26","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["A Review on Damage and Rupture Modelling for Soft Tissues"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6947-5122","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sai Naga Sri Harsha","family":"Chittajallu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Micro Mmechanics Lab, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad, Kandi 502284, India"},{"name":"Centre for Technology Innovation, L V Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad 500032, India"},{"name":"Department of Mechanical and Product Design Engineering, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne 3122, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashutosh","family":"Richhariya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Technology Innovation, L V Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad 500032, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8170-0775","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kwong Ming","family":"Tse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical and Product Design Engineering, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne 3122, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9038-6274","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Viswanath","family":"Chinthapenta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Micro Mmechanics Lab, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad, Kandi 502284, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"939","DOI":"10.1007\/s10237-018-1003-1","article-title":"Experimental characterization and constitutive modeling of the biomechanical behavior of male human urethral tissues validated by histological observations","volume":"17","author":"Masri","year":"2018","journal-title":"Biomech.
