Determination of Material Properties of Biological Tissues: Pericardium

  • Chapter
Frontiers in Biomechanics

Abstract

The constitutive relationship of a material—that is, the three-dimensional relationship between its stresses and strains—uniquely defines its properties. Whereas the constitutive relationships of most engineering materials are well documented, this is not the case for soft tissues. The scarcity of data is due, in part, to the relative newness of the field of biomechanics and, to a greater degree, to the extreme difficulty of performing three-dimensional tests in soft tissues, with their large deformations, nonlinear properties, and susceptibility to deterioration.
