Testing the Bonding Properties on Soft Tissue

Missing from the literature are standardized and comparative physical strength data for adhesives in neat form or as applied to the skin. The most comprehensive examples of the stress-strain relationships of excised human skin are appended (Appendix 2.6.1.) three axes of any material are demonstrated below, where X- and T-axes are lateral (perpendicular to each other), but in the same plane, whereas the Z direction is not in the same plane, but perpendicular to X- and T-axes as demonstrated in Fig. 3.10.
