Fig. 3From: Study of biaxial mechanical properties of the passive pig heart: material characterisation and categorisation of regional differencesExperimental data of stress-strain curves was calculated using using Eq. (1) and strain was calculated using Eq. (2). Stress-strain r LV samples in the a sheet direction and b normal direction of the cut piece of the pig heart myocardium. Stress-strain curve for four RV samples in the c sheet direction and d normal direction. Stress-strain curve for four interventricular septum samples in the e sheet direction and f normal direction of the cut piece of the pig heart myocardiumBack to article page
