Fig. 7.18 Numerical results for remodeling of membrane undergoing classic uniaxial cyclic
stretch (in the x-direction). (a) Stretch ratios versus time. (b) Steady-state fiber volume ratio versus
reference orientation angle α n
0 (plotted at end of final stretch cycle). (c) Volume ratio versus time
for two fiber families (k 0 = 1 s −1 ). (d) Elastic stretch ratios versus deposition time at current time
t = 4 s for fiber families shown in (c)
Fig. 7.19 Comparison of steady-state volume ratios for classic uniaxial and strip biaxial cyclic
stretch. J n is plotted as a function of the reference fiber angle α n
0 (k 0 = 0.1 s −1 ). Results are
plotted at the end of final stretch cycle
