ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate and evaluate the biomechanical property of the skin in pig's back in order to provide the essential theoretical basis for clinical and skin products.Method Taking the skin in pig's back as experimental material,the monotonic tensile and cyclic tension-tension tests with difierent loading rates was researohed respectivaly.Meanwhile,with different loading directions and stress levels the creep and cy-clic tension-tension tests were also been studied experimentally.Result The capacity of resisting tensile,creep and cyclic deformation of pig's skin in the direction along the Langer's line is stronger than that perpen-dicuiar to the Langer's line.The creep curve of pig's skin is load-dependent and consisted of three phases a-bout deceleration phase,stabilization phase and destruction stage.Pig's skin exhibits apparent ratcheting un-der asymmetry stress cycle.Ratcheting deformation displays significant mean stress,stress amplitude and loading speed dependence.Condusion Based on the experiment,the biomechanics property of skin's vis-coelasticity and anisotropic feature have been sysmarie stadied,it's provide necessaw theoretical fundation for clinical and leather products.

ABSTRACT
The dimensional stability of tissue conditioners characterizes the ability of the materials to yield accurate functional impressions of oral mucosa. This study evaluated the viscoelastic property and the linear dimensional changes with the factor of time and thickness of tissue conditioners (COE-COMFORT(TM), Visco-gel, COE-SOFT(TM), Soft-Liner) The thickness of these materials were changed (1.5mm, 3.0mm) and the percentage changes in dimension were measured at 1h, 12h, 24h, 36h, 3day, 7day after specimen preparation. From the results large differences appear between the various tissue conditioners. The results suggest that the period recommended for forming functional impression would be 2-3days after insertion in the mouth. in addition, it is important to select tissue conditioners suitable for functional impression because of the wide range of dimensional stability among the materials.
