title: [A methodological study on testing the elastic modulus of soft bio-anthropomorphic materials].
abstract: It is difficult to test the elastic modulus of the soft bio-anthropomorphic materials by using the general stretch-strain test method. With the equipment for a hardness testing system of bio-anthropomorphic materials and millesimal gauge, we introduce in this paper a compress-strain test method and carry out the related test-data curve-fitness. The test results indicate that this kind of method can be adopted in testing the elastic modulus of the soft bio-anthropomorphic materials and help to compare and distinguish the biomechanics equivalent between the tissues.
