Measurement and Analysis of Skin Incision Mechanical Properties Treated by Colagenous Glue

This work was focused on measurement of the mechanical properties of surgical incision on leather treated with tissue collagen glue. The work is focused to find the relationship between acting force and strain on the leather specimen with glue contact using optical method. The traditional contact strain analysis during tensile test cannot be applied for measuring the skin samples. Therefore the digital image correlation technique was taken into analysis for measuring object deformation. This technique is capable of correlating digital images of studied object before and during experimental test deformation to determining displacement and strain of the object based on corresponding position on the image. In this work, this technique is applied to analyze the mechanics of skin samples tensile test.
