Pattern formation sensitivity to loading. Growth triggers combined circular and longitudinal folding; pressure triggers pronounced circular folding. These trends are specific to the three-dimensional simulations of airway obstruction and independent of Y-branch shape. The color code visualizes the folding pattern through the von Mises stress; stresses are highest in the red valley regions and lowest in the blue ridges.
