Table 1.

Material parameters (C₁₀, k₁, k₂, γ, and κ) identified from fitting experimental data to the strain energy function shown with means and standard error. Significant statistical differences with a p-value less than 0.005 are listed. The letters indicate the statistical differences highlighted in Fig. 2.
