Changes in strain energy density& von Mises stress distribution in response to mechanical Tip depression for each model: A. control; B. disruption of the scroll connections (1% reduction in strain energy density); C. disruption of the medial crura/caudal septum connections (4.2% reduction in strain energy density); D. disruption of both scroll and medial crura/caudal septum connections (9.1% reduction in strain energy density). Note no discernable change in von Mises stress distribution in any experimental model.
