FIGURE 14

Strain as a function of radial position. These are examples of strain as a function of radial position measured from the outer to the inner edge of the TM at a stress of 10 kPa for two TMs. The thin lines connect the median strains computed in 20-μm bins; the vertical line segments represent the interquartile ranges of the measurements in the bins. The top panel is from the same data as shown in Fig. 13. The bottom panel shows the radial dependence of strain for a different TM. The locations of anatomical landmarks are indicated by dotted vertical lines.
