Sample tissue time-displacement, time-force profiles for multistep stress-relaxation tests
Sample tissue image data (with time stamp) (to reconstruct local tissue strains)

Procedures

-- ["aerdemir"] DateTime(2014-02-04T11:49:21Z) This section may list general purpose procedures and alternatives to utilize the same input to reach the same output. Procedures optimized for specific tissues should also be provided in here.

Output

Fit to tissue-specific stress-strain data for a desired constitutive relationship
- Constitutive relationship formulation
- Numerical values of coefficients of the constitutive relationship
- Fit error representing the quality of tissue-specific representation of material properties
