Figure 1 The configurations of the separated muscle (left) and the mucosal (right) layer at the zero-stress state (open sectors) and the no-load state (closed circular rings). The no-load state was obtained by forcing the opening sector to be closed using a pure bending deformation. The pure bending loads are indicted by arrows. The numerical model was conducted by using the ABAQUS software.
