Database on biomechanical tensile behavior up to failure of human Wharton's jelly derivatives

This dataset contains data linked to the article "Macro-scale damage characterization of Wharton’s jelly membrane undergoing tension". The Wharton’s jelly, a mucoid connective tissue of the umbilical cord, is promising for regenerative medicine applications. However it is relatively new and poorly documented especially from a mechanical point of view. To help filling the gap in the literature lack of data, this study seeks to address the Wharton's jelly damage behavior by providing first key results through an efficient analytical approach. The tensile and damage behavior of Wharton's jelly membranes is studied using tensile tests conducted up to failure under close physiological conditions. The Wharton's jelly mechanical response has been characterized using an hyperelastic constitutive model based on the Ogden formulation, enhanced with continuum damage mechanics to capture analytically the damage behavior. The dataset contains the experimental data and the predicted one from the Ogden model alone and enhanced with continuum damage mechanics, with 2 Python scripts allowing the plot of the experimental response superimposed with the predicted one as well as the model parameters data.
