Morphology and composition play distinct and complementary roles in the tolerance of plantar skin to mechanical load

Plantar skin on the soles of the feet has a distinct morphology and composition that is thought to enhance its tolerance to mechanical loads, although the individual contributions of morphology and composition have never been quantified. Here, we combine multiscale mechanical testing and computation...
