Skin viscoelasticity (SVE) incorporates the water content of the skin and adds the principle of viscosity, the internal resistance to flow when a shearing force or stress is applied to a fluid.

The biomechanical properties of human skin, most notably elasticity and viscoelasticity, are critical to its protective function. In this article, the authors describe the physiological basis for skin …

skin and tendon may influence collagen self-assembly and the resulting viscoelastic properties. Key words: skin — dermal allograft — viscoelasticity — collagen —

Jan 1, 2022 · The mechanical properties of human skin, such as nonlinearity and viscoelasticity, were reviewed in section 4. Different constitutive models are discussed in this section to model …

Apr 1, 2024 · Using a finite element model, we evaluated the effects and trends of changes in the stiffness and viscoelasticity of the skin on the propagation of mechanical quantities between …

Cutaneous elasticity, defined as the skin property of regaining the shape after stretching, can be measured through many non-invasive methods. The method used in the present study is …

Both the frequency and step stress response data suggests that the epidermis provides elastic rigidity and dermis provides viscoelasticity to the whole skin samples. Hence, whole skin …

Jun 1, 2018 · The Cutometer MPA 580 ® measures skin viscoelasticity8 (Figure 1) by sucking the skin into a hollow aperture in the center of the probe and then releasing it. The device has four …

Mar 5, 2019 · In anticipation of studying skin mechanics with tissue engineering approaches, we designed a non-invasive, modular, and portable device at a low cost (<100 USD) for the in situ …

Although skin plays an important role in transmitting stimuli received at the surface to mechanoreceptors, few studies have investigated how differences in skin viscoelasticity affect …
