Design and Validation of Equiaxial Mechanical Strain Platform, EQUicycler, for 3D Tissue Engineered Constructs

Figure 5

(a) Representative circumferential strain gradients along the normalized radial direction of the collagen matrix for four different longitudinal positions. Results are reported at = 0 under 20% strain loading. (b) The average circumferential strain gradient in the collagen construct along the radial direction of the different mechanical strain.
