Numerical Simulation of Corneal Fibril Reorientation in Response to External Loading

Purpose: To simulate numerically the collagen fibril reorientation observed experimentally in the cornea. Methods: Fibril distribution in corneal strip specimens was monitored using X-ray scattering while under gradually increasing axial loading. The data were analysed at each strain level in order...
