In this study, we introduce a detailed mathematical model to describe the dynamics of the cardiac jelly. Our model captures the intricate interplay between its elasticity, viscosity, and time-dependent deformation. This approach allows us to look deeper into the physical properties that govern the cardiac jelly's behavior during embryonic development.
The main application of our model is to investigate fracture generation within the cardiac jelly. Using our mathematical framework and a finite element computational implementation, we simulate a 3D model of the cardiac jelly. This enables us to study the generation of fracture patterns depending on the geometrical and material properties of the system and to compare our results with experimental observations in zebrafish embryos.
