TABLE 3.

Properties of biological tissues (Kelly & Prendergast, 2005; Chen et al., 2011; Tortorici et al., 2021). All poroelastic tissues had a specific weight of the wetting liquid of 9.74 × 10–6 N/mm3 and a bulk modulus of fluid of 2,300 MPa. The axial, radial, and circumferential directions are indicated by 1, 2, and 3, respectively. E: elastic modulus; ν: Poisson’s ratio; G: shear modulus.
