Fig 2. Same as Fig 1 except color maps for circumferential material stiffness for the mechanically-loaded geometries.

Note the original in vivo homeostatic value c_θθθθo = 1428 kPa (dark blue, bottom mark) as well as an increased stiffness at the shoulder of some of the lesions resulting from a locally increased α_0h (i.e., higher λ_θh/λ_zh, see Eq (14)).
