Table 3:

Mechanical properties and shear wave speed squared – stress regression parameters for nine phantoms fabricated with varying numbers of yarn strands and silicone types (Phantom Set 1), along with values from human and porcine LCL and MCL specimens from the literature for comparison. Data are presented as ranges (indicated by brackets), means, or means ± standard deviation.

	Mechanical properties		Shear wave speed squared - stress regression parameters
	Elastic modulus [MPa]	Hysteresis [%]	Slope [kPa/m2/s2]	Y-intercept [kPa]	R2
Phantom range	[104.7, 176.3]	[19.3, 29.7]	[0.78, 1.27]	[−978, −64]	[0.84, 0.95]
LCL	493.9 (H)a 289.0 ± 159.7 (H)b 183.5 ± 110.7 (H)c	28.4 (H)e	[0.34, 0.79] (P)h	[−1558, −271] (P)h	[0.95, 0.996] (P)h
MCL	326.8 (H)a 441.8 ± 117.2 (H)b 332.2 ± 58.3 (H)d	19.6 ± 3.1 (P)f 18.8 ± 0.9 (H)g	[0.39, 1.18] (P)h	[−2385, 187] (P)h	[0.84, 0.99] (P)h
