stress due to deformation will ultimately supersede the residual stress.
The λ-value for the bending-stretching transition must be redefined
based on Eq. 10-18 . The viscoelastic behavior of the sample can be
investigated by cyclic loading of the central load, and the materials
parameters can be obtained by expressing the elastic modulus in the
complex form, E = E' + j E” , in the above model, assuming the simplest
standard model of linear viscoelasticity.
3.2.2. Large-deformation model
When an ultra-thin biomembrane is investigated using the shaft-loaded
blister test, a large deformation model is needed in terms of rubber
elasticity. Without loss of generality, the Mooney-Rivilin model is
adopted for analysis, where the strain-energy function is given by
CW (10-19)
where I = λ 1 2 + λ 2 2 + (λ 1 λ 2 ) −2 and II = λ 1 −2 + λ 2 −2 + (λ 1 λ 2 ) 2 are the strain
invariants,

λ 2 are the meridian and circumferential stretch ratios
for the deformed membrane, and C 1 and C 2 are the material parameters
of the membrane. For a central load applied via a ball bearing, the
membrane deformation is governed by the Young-Laplace equation
