Validation for the case of anisotropic gel. Results are given for the relevant components of the P stress as functions of the associated deformation. (a) Single tension along and transverse to the needles (ST). (b) Simple shear in transverse and longitudinal directions (SS). (c) Equibiaxial tension along and transverse to the needles (ET XZ). (d) Simple shear in the plane of fibers (SS ZX). (e) Single compression in the transverse direction (SC X). Markers and solid lines denote the experimental data and a fitted transversely isotropic Fung model, respectively. The model was fitted only using the UT and SS tests, and was used to recover the data for the BT, SS2 and UC tests.
