Bar plots containing the mean ±95% CI for each of the three network cases at 20% strain, with p-values shown for the comparison between the homogeneous and heterogeneous case: (a) and (b) the maximum E₁₁ strain and P₁₁ stress experienced in a single element for the samples was much higher in the heterogeneous case compared to the homogeneous and isotropic case, (c) the degree of anisotropy in the homogeneous and heterogeneous case was much higher than the isotropic case. The homogeneous case displayed a slightly higher degree of anisotropy overall compared to the heterogeneous case, and (d), (e), and (f) the amount of fiber failure and elements containing failed fibers was significantly higher for the heterogeneous case.
