The mechanical properties of a pig’s skin which is used as the human skin substitute in the studies carried out in vitro are important for a number of applications, including surgery and biomechanics. In this study, uniaxial tensile experiments were performed on porcine skin for the two directions of the samples taken (parallel and perpendicular to the spine) to investigate the tensile stress-strain response. The experimental results show that pig’s skin exhibits anisotropic and non-linear behavior. The Ogden model was adopted to describe tensile behavior of the pig’s skin. The Ogden model provides a good tensile curve fit for the animal skin tissue in the low range of deformation (first and second stage of elongation curve).
