Abstract
Destructive uniaxial load tests were performed on chemically modified bovine pericardium. Five specimens were selected from the same sites in different pericardial sacs by using a template. To investigate the tearing strength of this material, an artificial tear, in the form of a 2mm notch, was introduced into the test specimens. Samples without a notch, harvested from the same sites in the pericardial sac but from different sacs, were used as controls. A video system with zoom and lens magnification facilities combined with low power oblique illumination was used to observe the events leading to tissue failure.
