| Abstract: | The viscoelastic behaviour of the heart muscle (papillary muscle) in the passive unstimulated) state is studied by such methods as stress relaxation, creep, vibration and stress-strain testing. The tests are conducted on a newly developed electromechanical muscle testing device which is suitable for conducting active and passive tests on biological materials. |
