Table 4:

Parameters of the four-fiber family constitutive model describing the 25th percentile response of human SFAs in 7 age groups. A total of 19 different loading protocols were used to determine the constitutive parameters for this model. The coefficient of determination R2 ≥ 0.99 for all age groups.
