Abstract
The study of biological soft tissues has a great importance for understanding tissue injury and, consequently, some diseases. Simple shear deformation is important to illustrate crucial characteristics of non-linear elasticity theory and is induced in soft tissues in numerous configurations. Most of previous research in this field has concentrated on very small samples to take into account the properties of all parts they are made of. Moreover, these researches have been neglected standard procedures so that the data could be compared with others easily. The purpose of this work is to study the mechanical behavior of a bovine fibrous soft tissue under simple shear. This paper suggests a more standardize approach for specimen dimensions, following the International Standard ISO 1827. In addition, the tests were made in samples with muscle fibers positioned in different directions and with different thickness. It could be seen that the resistance in simple shear of the material increases with the angle of the fibers.
