Table I: Beginning with the same initial constitutive values for all tissues (Initial), final tensile elastic modulus (Et), permeability (k), and aggregate modulus (HA) values are calculated (Output) by applying simulated physiologic fluid (r) and tensile (s) stresses for each tissue (Input) to the tissue differentiation algorithm (Fig. 1).
