Hypothesis

The deformation at the rupture point of the suture of the chicken skin will be significantly different at a suture density of 6 stitches/inch than at a suture density of 3 stitches/inch.

Objectives:

            To measure the deformation of the chicken skin samples when applying axial strain on the instron.

            To compare the skin deformations of the two sample sets differing in suture density and to statistically quantify the comparison through t-testing.
