Average maximum principal stresses (a), maximum principal logarithmic strains (b) and minimum principal logarithmic strains (c) during the stance phase of gait in the transversely isotropic poroelastic model (TIPE) with two different transverse (in-plane) Young’s moduli (Ep = 5.8 MPa - literature based, Ep = 16MPa - from parametric analysis) and fibril-reinforced poroelastic (FRPE) model. Material parameters for the models can be found in Table 1.
