In this mini-episode, Dr. Dustin Hardwick lays out the foundation for understanding the viscoelastic properties of tissues.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Anisotropy: Directional dependence of tissue properties • Load deformation curve and it's regions

• Young's modulus: Understanding tissue stiffness

• Viscoelastic properties: creep, stress relaxation, hysteresis, strain rate sensitivity
