Figure 10


Fig. 10. Computed coefficient of variation ({eta}, blue curves for concave side of the fish, black curves for the convex side) as a function of developmental time. The local radius of curvature was set to five times the local maximum half-width of the body (R=5xmax0). (A) Results for deformation type I and (B) type II. Solid ratio curves show {eta}opt for measured fibre orientations and optimized shear values in the computational model. Dotted curves show {eta} for measured orientations but without added shear deformation. Broken curves show the results for hypothetical longitudinally oriented fibres and without added shear deformation. The variation in the computed mean strain with shear optimization (Formula 26, solid red curve for concave side, dotted curve for convex side) is remarkably small during development. The results are very similar for the two deformation types.
