Elastin is responsible for the rigidity of the ligament under shear and rotational stress: a mathematical simulation study

Table 1 Mechanical properties of each component in mathematical models

The Young’s modulus of the collagen and elastin components were obtained from or calculated based on Henninger et al. [13]. Poisson’s ratios of the collagen and elastin components were obtained from or calculated based on Swedberg et al. [23]. The mechanical parameters of the bone were obtained from or calculated based on Lai et al. [24]
