The role anisotropy and fiber dispersion in the mechanics and remodelling of biological tissues
In many soft biological tissues mechanical strength and anisotropy are determined primarily by the presence of fibers, in particular collagen. When an isotropic material is subject to a uniaxial tension, the principal strain transverse to the direction of applied load is always negative. However, in...
