Fig. 7: Influence of the non-linear relation between fibre orientation and mechanical stiffness properties.

a In case there are three different fibre orientation regimes with 15°, 45° and 75° within one voxel with a size of 100 μm the mean fibre orientation is 45°, indicated by the black dot. b The mean of stiffness matrix components C11, indicated by the black triangle, however, does not coincide with the mean orientation due to the non-linear correlation between fibre orientation and stiffness property.
