title: Measurement of mechanical properties of rectal wall.
abstract: In this paper, a pig's rectum was studied as a model biomaterial and its mechanical behaviors under tensile, compressive, and shear stresses were measured accurately using a multipurpose microtesting system. Based on the stress-strain relations of samples of different orientations, the tangential moduli were calculated through a reverse method combined with self-correlation analysis. The experimental data exhibited pronounced nonlinear and anisotropic characteristics. It was found that the effective compliance in tension along the longitudinal direction was larger than that along the circumferential direction, but smaller than that along the out-of-plane direction.
