(a) Fitting of the in vitro equi-biaxial tension loading data of the representative MVAL tissue (Specimen #1) for estimating the model parameters of the modified full structural constitutive model considering the change in the referential configurations (r² = 0.989), (b) effects of the changes in referential configurations $\left({}_0^{2}F\right)$ on (b) fiber orientation density function (ODF), and (c) fiber recruitment density function with a fiber oriented along the circumferential direction, associated with forward modeling based in vivo MVAL tissue stress estimation (Path 2).
