Fig 10. Results for two cases with the cellular Young’s modulus increased 20-fold over the instantaneous short time scale value, for cellular Poisson’s ratio = 0.50 and 0.49 in an effort to approximate long-time scale compression with a purely elastic approach to compare with the experimental values in the literature.

Results are very sensitive to assumed values of cellular Poisson’s ratio and to the Young’s modulus ratio between the cell and the tightly bound territorial matrix and we do not believe this is the correct approach for modeling long-time scale events since the real value of cellular Poisson’s ratio cannot be accurately determined.
