Elastin is responsible for the rigidity of the ligament under shear and rotational stress: a mathematical simulation study

Abstract Background An accurate understanding of the mechanical response of ligaments is important for preventing their damage and rupture. To date, ligament mechanical responses are being primarily evaluated using simulations. However, many mathematical simulations construct models of uniform fibre...
