Multiscale Mechanical Model of the Pacinian Corpuscle Shows Depth and Anisotropy Contribute to the Receptor’s Characteristic Response to Indentation

Comparison between long-axis strain and area strain.
The long-axis strain of the PC (blue circles) and the area strain of the PC (red squares) were calculated for 25 steps of 1 μm indentation. Both long-axis strain and area change increase monotonically as the PC is indented.
