Planar Design: Comments

• Fiber Load Balancing

  Common mechanical coupling balanced fiber forces
  and prevented cascading fiber failure.

• Fluid Flow

  Perforated sheets allowed controllable and
  simultaneous infusion of fluid.

• Quantitative Model

  Planar design simplified fluid and mechanical model.

• Fiber Interaction

  Fibril interaction within the bundle seems to
  impede expansion and contraction.
