... as well as heat shock proteins are seen [ 40 ]. This is equivalent to a temperature rise of 6 °C ( T 70 – T 0 ) above physiologic baseline (37 °C), which is taken here to represent the threshold for thermal damage. As mentioned, the IRE threshold is based on a value of 500 V/cm [ 38 , 39 ]. Spatially...

... on the thermal damage process as well as the effect of the incurred damage on the subsequent mechanical properties. In this paper, we report the first biaxial data on the stress relaxation behavior of a collagenous tissue before and after thermal damage. Based on a two-dimensional finite strain viscoelastic...

..., it is shown that thermal damage tends to increase the stiffness at low strains and that overall changes in extensibility correlate well with the degree of thermal damage independent of the specific thermomechanical protocol. Multiaxial changes in behavior are nevertheless complex, and there is a need...
