Figure 1. Deformed configuration a compositely crosslinked semiflexible filament network with 2.7 percent strain.

Figure 1

The bond occupation probability is Inline graphic and angle-constraining crosslinker occupation probability is Inline graphic The purple lines denote semiflexible filaments, the red arcs denote angle-constraining crosslinks, the black circles represent nodes where all crossing filaments are free to rotate around that node, while the grey circles denote nodes where some of the crossing filaments are free to rotate around that node. The absence of a black or grey circle denotes a node where no free rotations are possible.
