Abstract: Continuum strain energy functions are developed for soft biological tissues that possess long fibrillar components. The treatment is based on the model of an elastica, which is our fine scale model, and is homogenized in a simple fashion to obtain a continuum strain energy function. Notably, we avoid solving the full fourth-order, nonlinear, partial differential equation for the elastica by resorting to other assumptions, kinematic and energetic, on the response of the individual, elastica-like fibrils.
