✦ Synopsis

The present paper describes a calculation technique to determine a value of Young's modulus for the cornea when the intraocular pressure, the shape of the cornea and the thickness variation along the cornea are known from in vivo measurements. Twenty-eight persons were examined in both eyes and a mean value of Young's modulus for the cornea was calculated to 2.45 x 104+0.57× 104 N/m 2 (S.D.).

A recently proposed model equation for the prediction of the Young's modulus of elasticity of composite materials has been applied to platelet reinforced composites. The effect of platelet volume fraction, axial ratio and orientation on the effective Young's modulus was assessed and the range of val

The purpose of this study was to determine the true intraocular pressure and modulus of elasticity of the human cornea in vivo. The cornea was modeled as a shell, and the equations for the deformations of a shell due to applanating and intraocular pressures were combined to model the behavior of the
