Fig. 3.

Distribution of the third principal strains obtained from the parametric models of simulated single lytic lesions based on the location (centre, C; lateral right, LR; lateral left, LL; anterior, A; and posterior, P) and size (4%, 12%, 24%, and 35% of the VBvol) of the lesions compared to the control model (solid black lines). Compressive yield strains, ε_P3Y = −8000 με (Morgan et al., 2001) are highlighted by vertical black dotted lines. Similar distributions were found for models with multiple lesions.
