Figure 1From: Collagen concentration and biomechanical properties of samples from the lower uterine cervix in relation to age and parity in non-pregnant womenA typical load-strain curve for cervical tissue samples. The diagram illustrates the biomechanical parameters; Fmax (maximum load), ε--Fmax (maximum extensibility) and maximum stiffness (red bar = maximal slope of load-strain curve).Back to article page
