Table 1.

Material parameters and computed peak 2nd Piola-Kirchhoff stresses for both GLUT and TGA-MABP implant tissues. Although the implant tissues produced predictably different material parameters due to the difference between their mechanical behaviors, the resulting computed peak stresses were comparable between both groups, and not statistically different (p=0.988 and 0.979 for S11 and S22, respectively).
