A circumferential incision was made on the right hindlimb and a 1 cm wide circumferential strip of skin and subcutaneous tissue was resected.
The sensors were secured to the shaved chest with a circumferential elastic strip such that contact force was sufficiently firm, but chest expansion was unimpeded.
In particular, unlike uniaxial testing of circumferential rings or strips, biaxial tests can be used to determine if tissue properties differ between the circumferential and axial directions.
Specimens for uniaxial tests are obtained by cutting strips along circumferential (C) or longitudinal (L) directions, recording the regions from which they were cut (as anterior, posterior, lateral, or outer/inner).
Curved bolt cracks at the longitudinal joint are annular and closed, while those of straight bolts at the circumferential joint are irregularly stripped and closed along the length of the screw.
The amplitudes of these expansion contraction cycles, are believed to be dependent upon the corresponding stored elastic energy of that particular strip of circumferential surface in contact with the die walls.
Simulation results show that by increasing the initial strip width, more circumferential length reduction is induced to the deformed strip in the fin-pass stands.
Internal radius of the descending proximal thoracic aorta was estimated as l/2 π, where l was the circumferential length of the excised wall strip.
There are inherent limitations in the present study, owing to the unique complexity of atherosclerotic plaques, namely: (1) only material properties in the circumferential direction were assessed; (2) some tissue strips, particularly lipid and IPH/T, may contain more than one tissue type, owing to the highly heterogeneous nature of atherosclerotic plaques.
First, each image strip obtained from a single circumferential scan of the SECM probe was divided into N segments.
