Visco-Hyperelastic Characterization of the Equine Immature Zona Pellucida

Visco-Hyperelastic Characterization of the Equine Immature Zona Pellucida

This article presents a very detailed study on the mechanical characterization of a highly nonlinear material, the immature equine zona pellucida (ZP) membrane. The ZP is modeled as a visco-hyperelastic soft matter. The Arruda–Boyce constitutive equation and the two-term Prony series are identified...
