The stress-strain relations of flat collagenous tissues under homogeneous biaxial deformations were analyzed in terms of the tissues'' constituents structure and their mechanical properties. The overall tissue response is apparently the sum of contributions of the collagen and elastin fibers. The collagen fibers are undulated and slack, the elastin is prestretched. Upon deformation the fibers rotate and stretch. The stress components were determined by summing up the contributions of all the fibers passing through the unit area associated with each stress component. The resulting behavior of the tissue is governed by material constants and material distribution functions which are associated with the angular and geometrical nonuniformities in the fibers. The nonuniformity in the angular distribution of the fibers accounts for the observed anisotropic behavior of the tissue; the nonuniformity in the geometrical structure of the fibers accounts for the nonlinear stress-strain relations. The material constants and functions of a given tissue can be determined by analyzing the data of specific experimental procedure.
