Mathematical Modeling of Uniaxial Mechanical Properties of Collagen Gel Scaffolds for Vascular Tissue Engineering

Figure 4

Mechanical behavior of cycling compression test of sample 1. Measured data are plotted in dashed-dotted black line (first compression) and red continuous line. Limit cases are plotted in dashed blue line (Neo Hookean nonviscous model using , constant value) and in dotted blue line (Mooney-Rivlin nonviscous model). The arrows indicate the time evolution.
