Fig. 1From: Biomechanical and biochemical properties of the thoracic aorta in warmblood horses, Friesian horses, and Friesians with aortic ruptureSample stress strain curve. E10, E20 and E30 are the tangent stiffness moduli. The maximum engineering stress at failure is presented as σfail, σb and σe are the tensile stresses at the beginning and end of the relaxation phaseBack to article page
