The role of anisotropy and fiber dispersion in the mechanics and remodeling of biological tissues

<p>In many soft biological tissues mechanical strength and anisotropy are determined primarily by the presence of fibers, in particular collagen. </p> <p>When an isotropic material is subject to a uniaxial tension, the principal strain transverse to the direction of applied load is...
