Besides, the mechanical properties of brain tissues have been also investigated by Miller [4]; nevertheless, skeletal muscle tissue has been rarely being reported [12,8,6], Among the earlier studies on mechanical testing of biological tissues [1,13,2,11], the studies on skeletal muscles are still lacking [7,8,5,6], However, in this study, unaxial mechanical testing was utilized using an Instron Mechanical Testing Machine to characterize the mechanical properties of five bov ine forelimb muscles: Biceps.
