Reversible Stress Softening in Rat Oesophagus in Vitro after KCl Activation
TLDR
The stress softening in the circumferential direction in rat’s oesophagus can be reversed by activation with KCl, according to the stress-strain curves.
Contractions Reverse Stress Softening in Rat Esophagus
TLDR
Results indicated that incubation in Krebs+ cannot recover the stress softening induced energy and stiffness loss, but in contrast, these loss were recovered markedly (p < 0.05) after KCl activation.

Reversible stress softening in layered rat esophagus in vitro after potassium chloride activation
TLDR
After activation with KCl, the stored energy and the stiffness after the stress and viscoelasticity softening increased in both layers, indicating that the reversible stress softening in esophagus after KCl activation is existed in both layer.
Shear Modulus of the Partially Obstructed Rat Small Intestine
TLDR
The histomorphological and mechanical properties including shear properties remodeled proximal to the intestinal obstruction site remodeled with focus on the shear modulus were estimated.

Analysis of the structural behaviour of colonic segments by inflation tests: Experimental activity and physio-mechanical model
TLDR
A coupled experimental and computational approach is provided for the identification of the structural behaviour of gastrointestinal regions, accounting for both elastic and visco-elastic properties, to characterize the mechanics of gastrointestinal samples from pig colons.

TLDR
The gastrointestinal tract remodels its morphology and circumferential stress–strain properties in diabetes mellitus and the oesophageal shear modulus is studied in vitro using a triaxial machine.
Sensation and distribution of stress and deformation in the human oesophagus
TLDR
The present study provides a method for computation of the stress–strain distribution throughout the wall and the mechano‐sensory interaction in the human oesophagus that may be useful for understanding of mechanoreceptor responses and generation of symptoms in visceral organs in health and in disease.
The geometric configuration and morphometry of the rabbit oesophagus during luminal pressure loading
TLDR
The aim of the present study was to determine the geometric configuration and morphometric dimensions in the rabbit oesophagus during luminal pressure loading and the data obtained will be useful for further modelling of the mechanics of the oesphagus.
Stress distribution in the layered wall of the rat oesophagus.
ROK-induced cross-link formation stiffens passive muscle: reversible strain-induced stress softening in rabbit detrusor.
TLDR
Activation of ROK by KCl or CCh increased passive stiffness softened by muscle strain and thereby attributed to cross-links that remained stable during tissue incubation in a calcium-free solution.
History-Dependent Mechanical Behavior of Guinea-Pig Small Intestine
TLDR
Since strain softening effects were significantly greater than viscoelastic effects, it is concluded that history-dependent changes in jejunal stiffness are more likely to involve alterations to elastic rather than viscous structures in the tissue.
Sensory and biomechanical responses to ramp-controlled distension of the human duodenum.
TLDR
The stimulus-response functions provided evidence for the existence of low- and high-threshold mechanoreceptors in the human duodenum and suggested that high-Threshold receptors are nonadapting.
A two-layered mechanical model of the rat esophagus. Experiment and theory
TLDR
A model and experimental setup was developed for determination of elastic moduli in the two layers in circumferential direction and a good agreement was found between the measured elastic modulus of the intact esophagus and the elasticModulus computed from the elastic modules of the two separated layers.
Strain softening in rat left ventricular myocardium.
TLDR
The preconditioning behavior of the myocardium is better explained by strain softening rather than viscoelasticity and may be due to damage to elastic components, rather than the effect of viscous tissue components.
