Properties of frozen tissues have been measured as part of understanding the response of tissue to cryopreservation. In one set of experiments, frozen bovine carotid arteries were tested in uniaxial tension. The cross-sectional geometry was extracted from digital images of slices of the artery obtained after testing. For the specimen tested, the gage length is 30 mm , the outer diameter is 6 mm , and the wall thickness is 1 mm .
From the load deflection curve, estimate the elastic modulus of the frozen artery.
