Figure 6

Energy stored parallel (0°), at 45°, and perpendicular (90°) to the collagen fiber orientation in vivo calculated from the area under the modulus-strain curves (with units of MPa). The external strain was applied by stretching the skin with a piece of tape. Note the energy stored in skin appears almost independent of the angle of orientation.
