boundary conditions (left side fully constrained and displacement boundaries (displacement field
vector u) on the right)

Fig. 8.8 Stages of tissue densification: from a uncompressed to e highly compressed

single lipid-droplets are in contact, Fig. 8.8 e; at this stage, a small increase in
displacement leads to a large increase in force.
To compare the simulated force-displacement results with the experimental
data obtained from fat tissue indentation as described in Sect. 5.2 (Figs. 5.18 and
5.24 ), the values are normalized to the peak force and peak displacement,
