Woven scaffold has a high degree of resilience. Loading and unloading the scaffold demonstrate that the scaffold shows only a small amount of permanent deformation following an overt strain of 40%. (a) Scaffold before loading (1), under 40% strain (2) and following unloading (3). (b) Typical stress-strain curve for a loading-unloading cycle. (c) The strain history indicates that the scaffold springs back to near its original height after being compressed about half its original thickness.
