Abstract: 

The mechanical properties of the skin at small and finite deformations are investigated. The models are suggested approximating viscoelastic properties of the skin. The constitutive relations for three-dimensional stress-strain state are developed. Models parameters are determined by experiments in uniaxial tension of the skin specimens.
