Abstract
Estimating material parameters is an important part in the study of soft tissue mechanics. Computational time can easily run to days, especially when all available experimental data are taken into account. The material parameter estimation procedure is examplified on a set of homogeneous simple shear experiments to estimate the orthotropic constitutive parameters of myocardium. The modification consists of changing the traditional least-squares approach to a weighted least-squares. This objective function resembles a -norm type integral which is approximated using Gaussian quadrature. This reduces the computational time of the material parameter estimation by two orders of magnitude.
