Shear Strain Stiffening in Cartilage is Governed by a Mechanical Phase Transition

Japheth Omonira, Joshua D. Clugston, Anna R. Barth…·Itai Cohen

This study investigates shear strain stiffening in cartilage, showing it results from a mechanical phase transition between bending- and stretching-dominated modes, influenced by collagen concentration and compression.
