Popis: Understanding the strain-rate behavior of natural and synthetic soft biological materials poses great challenges for materials research due their heterogeneous composition and structural complexity. Expanding fundamental knowledge about how biomaterials function under different loading regimes is of considerable interest in both fundamental and applied research. A summary of typical challenges associated with the characterization of biological materials in standard materials testing systems is presented. In addition, we describe how platforms addressed some of these challenges in their optimization for measurement of the material responses of soft biological materials.
