Relation between measured force and orientation of the collagen fiber network. (a) Alignment index of the isotropic sample and the anisotropic sample as a function of the deformation cycle number. (b) Relative maximum force applied to the isotropic and the anisotropic sample as a function of the deformation cycle number. (c) Relative difference of the maximum force of each deformation cycle of the isotropic and the anisotropic sample.
