Abstract
A finite element based method has been developed for measuring strains in soft tissue. An array of markers is placed on the tissue surface and treated as nodes of a four node isoparametric element. The displacements of the marker centroids are directly measured using a high sensitivity television camera. Finite element method mathematics are then used to calculate the plane strain tensor at any point inside the element. The method has been implemented using non-rectangular elements that are approximately 2 mm on each side.Mesh：
