Two stitch orientations are discussed: longitudinal direction (parallel to the loading direction) and transverse direction (perpendicular to the loading direction).
The undulation behavior appeared only perpendicular to the loading direction and was not observed parallel to the loading direction.
The specimens either have the fibres parallel to the loading direction (spanwise) or perpendicular to the loading direction (chordwise).
The Poisson effect is observed by comparing the lattice strains in the loading direction and transverse to the loading direction.
It is found that the property gradients created along the loading direction or perpendicular to the loading direction produce distinct thermomechanical behaviours.
The ultimate lateral pressure was subsequently determined using numerical analyses with consideration of the loading direction.
The ratio of bending to tensile strength was about 1.7 2 depending on the loading direction.
By careful design on the loading direction, coplanar slip systems operated in the two component grains.
Architectural and mechanical anisotropy alone renders their bone weaker in the nonprimary loading direction.
The loading direction, strain rate and physiological environment directly influenced the mechanical properties of the scaffolds.
Loading direction has been identified as one key determinant for the mechanical responses of proteins.
