A model for the compressible, viscoelastic behavior of human amnion addressing tissue variability through a single parameter

A viscoelastic, compressible model is proposed to rationalize the recently reported response of human amnion in multiaxial relaxation and creep experiments. The theory includes two viscoelastic contributions responsible for the short- and long-term time- dependent response of the...
