Abstract excerpt
Recently, it was demonstrated in the oesophagus that the zero-stress state is not a closed cylinder but an open circular cylindrical sector. The closed cylinder with no external loads applied is called the no-load state and residual strain is the difference in strain between the no-load state and the zero-stress state. To understand the physiology and pathology of the oesophagus, it is necessary to know the...
