Characterization was made of the mechanical properties under compression of four major skin components (collagen, elastin, chondroitin sulfate, and hyaluronic acid) placed in a gel matrix. Using the previous theoretical work of Bert et al., thickness under compression was related to degree of hydration and the results expressed in terms of pressure vs. hydration. All measurements were conducted at 14 degrees C, 21 degrees C, and 25 degrees C. Application of the findings to a model based on the finite deformation strain-energy theory of Aubert indicate that collagen, elastin, and chondroitin sulfate show a viscoelastic response under compression. On the other hand, hyaluronic acid and gelatin exhibit rubber-like behavior.
对置于凝胶基质中的四种主要皮肤成分（胶原蛋白、弹性蛋白、硫酸软骨素和透明质酸）在压缩状态下的力学性能进行了表征。利用Bert等人先前的理论研究成果，压缩状态下的厚度与水合程度相关，结果以压力与水合程度的关系表示。所有测量均在14摄氏度、21摄氏度和25摄氏度下进行。将这些研究结果应用于基于Aubert有限变形应变能理论的模型表明，胶原蛋白、弹性蛋白和硫酸软骨素在压缩状态下呈现粘弹性响应。另一方面，透明质酸和明胶表现出类似橡胶的行为。
