Abstract:
To characterize the anisotropic and viscoelastic behaviors of the skin, we conducted an experimental campaign of in-vivo suction tests using the CutiScan®CS100 device from Courage and Khazaka electronics. In this data paper, we present the raw acquired data of the tests and their respective treated data. The tests were performed 30 times on the anterior forearm of a 28-year-old Caucasian male at different pressure set-points, ranging from 100 to 500 mbar with an increment of 20 mbar, at ambient temperature in a windowless room. The primary dataset consists of videos recorded by a probe camera associated with the CutiScan® device during the tests. After data treatment with DIC (Digital Image Correlation) technique and based on a homemade Python program, we have obtained secondary data tables and 2D displacement for all mapped grid nodes.
