Overall probability value .001 .000 .029

Elongation values are those that resulted from 5N of force being applied to the mesh; low and high stiffness values are the minimum and maximum slopes of the load-elongation curve, respectively. To minimize the complexity of this Table, relevant probability values for individual comparisons are reported in the text.
