Abstract
⺠A novel imaging-based method for quantifying skin layer deformations is presented. ⺠Experimental data provided insights into through-plane shear strain profiles of full thickness skin. ⺠Study revealed inhomogeneous skin deformation, characterised by low (epidermis) and high shear strain regimes (dermis). ⺠Shear moduli of the epidermis are up to 4 times higher than those in the dermis. ⺠Local skin strains can be more than two times higher than global strains.
