| Abstract: | The appropriateness of several elastic constitutive laws for apple and potato cell walls is tested using uniform cell inflation data. Whole-tissue stress-strain behavior under uniaxial loading is predicted from an analysis of the compression of a conglomerate of cells in a simple arrangement. |
