A measuring system used to monitor the orthogonal stresses and strains in the plane of the passive canine diaphragm muscle in vivo is described. The system consists of four topically applied force-displacement transducers, a laser-camera subsystem to determine the local radii of curvature and an abdominally situated pressure transducer. Experimental results show that the passive muscle in situ behaves as an anisotropic linearly elastic material for loads in the physiological range. A model is proposed which describes the diaphragm's response to load in terms of two moduli. Values obtained experimentally for the moduli are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
