Mean stress relaxation data for 15 predominantly connective tissue samples, plotted on both linear (a) and semi-logarithmic (b) scales. Mean stress relaxation data for 15 fatty tissue samples, plotted on both linear (c) and semi-logarithmic (d) scales. Peak relaxation modulus for connective tissue was 7,067 ± 693 Pa while the long-term asymptotic relaxation modulus of 668 Pa was reached after about 1,500 s. Peak relaxation modulus value for fatty tissue was 5,319 ± 633 Pa while the long-term asymptotic relaxation modulus of 290 Pa was reached after about 1,100 s
