Equilibrium Mechanical Data of Human Uterine Tissue Measured by Spherical Indentation

The name of the file indicates the sample ID, which includes the gestation status (NP = nonpregnant, PG = pregnant), the location in the uterus (Ant, Fundus, and Post = anterior wall, fundal wall & posterior wall, respectively), and the relative location in the uterine wall layers (1~6 = outermost layer to innermost layer). For example, “NP_Ant_1.csv” contains the experimental data of the outermost layer of the NP uterine anterior wall.

In these files, the columns correspond to the prescribed indentation strain [%], Lagrangian strain e1, e2, and force [N]. The force and prescribed strains are recorded from a universal testing machine, and e1 and e2 are calculated via Vic2D (Correlated Solutions Inc.) using the figures recorded by VicSnap (Correlated Solutions Inc.). The strain data are taken directly under the indenter tip.

In the manuscript they correspond to e1_EXP and e2_EXP.
