Abstract: We present data from isothermal free-shrinkage tests (i.e., performed in the absence of mechanical loads) wherein bovine chordae tendineae were subjected to temperatures from 65 to 85°C for ...

Abstract: We present data from isothermal, isotonic-shrinkage tests wherein bovine chordae tendineae were subjected to well-defined constant temperatures (from 65 to 90°C), durations of heating (from ...

Abstract: Described here is the design and development of a computer-controlled device capable of measuring the finite strain thermomechanical behavior of a general class of polymeric materials including ...
