Representative scanning electron micrographs (top view) of hexagonally arranged elastomeric microposts forming a dense hexagonal lattice. Both circular cross section microposts (circular, a) and elliptic cross section microposts (elliptical, b) are shown. Scale bar: 20 μm. Overview of static (c) and dynamic (d) experimental conditions. Schematic representation of neighboring arrays of elastomeric microposts representing the three experimental conditions in red. 1) Circular microposts, 2) elliptical perpendicular microposts characterized by elliptic cross section which major axis is perpendicular to the strain direction and 3) elliptical parallel microposts characterized by elliptic cross section which major axis is parallel to the strain direction. The double-arrow headed line represents the strain direction for the dynamic condition.
