    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanics
    • Materials Science
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Soft tissues like skin and pericardium exhibit complex mechanical properties.
    • Modeling these properties is crucial for understanding tissue function and disease.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and evaluate a constitutive model for the mechanical behavior of two-dimensional soft tissues.
    • To assess the model's ability to fit experimental biaxial stress-strain data.

    Main Methods:

    • The Shoemaker constitutive model was applied to experimental data from human skin and canine pericardium.
    • Curvefitting techniques were used to determine material parameters and compare model predictions with experimental results.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • The constitutive model demonstrated a strong ability to fit individual experimental tests.
    • Material parameters were determined for human skin and canine pericardium.
    • Model predictions showed favorable agreement with experimental data, with good, though not complete, generality across tests.

    Conclusions:

    • The constitutive model effectively captures the mechanical behavior of membraneous soft tissues.
    • The model's performance is comparable to other existing models in the literature.
    • Further validation may be needed to fully establish its predictive power for diverse soft tissue applications.
