Stress-strain curve, soft tissues

The compliance is the ability of one native soft tissue to adapt its volume unda pressure variations. Regarding fiber and yam interlacing patterns, fibrous structures have specific stress—strain behavior with initial debulking at low-load level and flien strengthening of more aligned fibers at higher-load level. Stress—strain curve patterns of fibrous tissue are similar to those of soft tissue, which is encouraging to mimic ECM. 

Both systems showed the peculiar stress-strain curve of soft tissue which include the initial toe region due the properties of the matrix and its interaction with fibers a linear region and increasing of the stress is due to the alignment of the fibers until fracture.
