Table 3:

Parameters for the four-fiber family constitutive model describing the isochoric behavior of human FPAs in 7 age groups at the 75th percentile. Parameters are adjusted for the effects of flattening. Here n is the sample size in each group that was used to derive these parameters. The coefficient of determination R2=0.99 for all age groups.
