Figure 3. Experimental force generated according to the location of the pine cone scale compared to theoretical predictions.

Figure 3

Theoretical prediction evidences a difference with experimental measurements. The discrepancy is likely due to the hypothesis of using the dry properties of pine cone tissue from literature, instead of wet counterparts, that would lead to a 50% reduction of Young’s modulus.
