Figure 6.
Parameter space plots demonstrate how the (A) NFM stress, (B) collagen stress and (C) total stress changed as a function of varying the two NFM input parameters of shear modulus and Poisson’s ratio (left = full parameter space; right = zoomed in low shear modulus region); of particular interest was the span of the NFM stress from negative to positive values, including the boundary (dashed line) where the contribution from the NFM was zero (mean values plotted; n=5/group)
