Description
Summary:The variations observed in the mechanical behaviour of shark skin at different locations and direction of test, bring out the influence of the histological characteristics on the mechanical properties of the skin. These differences in histological characteristics also give an idea about the functional significance of different regions of the skin.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
