Experimentally Tractable, Pseudo-elastic Constitutive Law for Biomembranes: I. Theory

Although visco-elastic in general, the stress-strain relation of biomembranes is one-to-one or pseudo-elastic when being loaded after preconditioning. This pseudo-elastic relation is hypoelastic (i.e., it is not hyperelastic), yet much of the stress response can be characterized by a scalar function...
