Influence of cross-link structure, density and mechanical properties in the mesoscale deformation mechanisms of collagen fibrils

Collagen is a ubiquitous protein with remarkable mechanical properties. It is highly elastic, shows large fracture strength and enables substantial energy dissipation during deformation. Most of the connective tissue in humans consists of collagen fibrils composed of a staggered array of tropocollag...
