anulus fibrosus. It was hypothesized that elastic fibers enhance the mechanical integrity of the …

… In conclusion, repetitive subfailure tensile loading of the annulus fibrosus resulted in damage
to the annulus fibrosus tissue which was expressed as a loss of normalized peak stress …

… This results in a hydrostatic excessive pressure in the nucleus pulposus and generates
circumferential tensile stresses in the surrounding annulus fibrosus. Maximal physiologic strains …
