Abstract

An experimental system for two-dimensional tests of soft tissue was developed. It can perform in vitro two-dimensional tests at different rates (up to 6.0 mm/sec) as well as two-dimensional relaxation and creep tests. Effect of the temperature on two-dimensional stresses and strains can also be measured. Data reduction is greatly improved with the help of on-line PDP 8/e computer.
