Table 2.

Example of fitting the model to force‐deformation data up to 20 % cell deformation, and the choice of best fit

Initial stretch ratio, λs Young’s modulus, E (GPa) Root mean square errors
1.005 3.26 0.0075
1.01 2.76 0.0046
1.015 2.41 0.0038
1.02 2.15 0.0039

The minimum root mean square error was 0.0038. The chosen initial stretch ratio, λs, was therefore 1.015, with a corresponding Young’s modulus of 2.41 GPa.
