Samples of male and female mice skin were tested under monotonic and
cyclic loading to mechanically characterize the tissue for large
deformations. Cyclic tests have shown a typical Mullins effect widely
known for elastomers and other soft tissues. No statistical difference
was found in the maximum stretch of the sample after the fifth loading
cycle for male (1.26�0.035) and female (1.18�0.083). However, larger
dispersion was obtained for the maximum stress for both genders,
for male and for female. Results show the presence of inelastic strain
and stress softening in the skin at large deformations. They also
have shown how stress softening and residual strain change with the
magnitude of the applied load. Good correlation was observed between
the residual strain and the maximum strain previously attained by
the sample during loading for all samples. However, the correlation
was different between genders.
