Abstract

Skin biothermomechanics here is defined as the response of skin under thermomechanical loading, which leads to damage—the thermal denaturation of collagen. Since the thermal mechanical interaction is related to the thermal damage of tissue, which is mainly due to the denaturation of collagen (the main component of the dermis, see Chapter 2), the thermal denaturation (thermal shrinkage) is first reviewed here. Due to the clinical importance, the thermal denaturation of collagen and collagenous tissues has been studied a lot, and there are several good reviews on this subject (e.g.
