Strain-stiffening Behavior

Strain-Stiffening Behavior is a mechanical response characteristic of certain biopolymer networks in which the material exhibits an increase in elastic modulus under increasing strain, distinguishing it from linearly elastic or strain-softening materials by its nonlinear stress-strain relationship that enhances resistance to deformation at higher strains.
