Abstrakt:	The characterization of human subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) under high-rate loading is valuable for development of biofidelic finite element human body models (FE-HBMs) to predict seat belt-pelvis interaction and injury risk in vehicle crash simulations. While material characterization of SAT has been performed at 25 °C or 37 °C, the effect of temperature on mechanical properties of SAT under high-rate and large-deformation loading has not been investigated. Similarly, while freezing is the most common preservation technique for cadaveric specimens, the effect of freeze-thaw on the mechanical properties of SAT is also absent from the literature. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of freezing and temperature on mechanical properties of human SAT. Fresh and previously frozen human SAT specimens were obtained and tested at 25 °C and 37 °C. High-rate indentation and puncture tests were performed, and indentation-puncture force-depth responses were obtained. While the chance of material failure was found to be different between temperatures and between fresh and previously frozen tissue, statistical analyses revealed that temperature and freezing did not change the shear modulus and failure characteristics of SAT. Therefore, the results of the current study indicated that SAT material properties characterized from either fresh or frozen tissue at either 25 °C or 37 °C could be used for enhancing the biofidelity of FE-HBMs. (Copyright © 2022 by ASME.)
