Mechanical properties of sheep skin in compression

The mechanical properties of sheep skin in compression were investigated by two methods; a stress strain method and a cyclic stress fatigue method. It was shown that the skin behaves like a linear viscoelastic material for small loads, however, for large loads it behaves nonlinearly and the strain i...
