CONTENT (24 osteodiscs from 4 bovine tails):
all samples are named (TXCY) according to tail and level number (tails 1 to 4 and A to D; levels CC1 to 3 - see group details below)
all files contain sample name in filename

For each sample, data consists of:

	- DICOM files of microCT scan (in a .zip archive): TXCY.zip

	- abaqus input file (run with abaqus 6.14, SIMULIA Dassault Systeme): TXCYFullFibres.inp (in FEModel_inputs.zip)

	- FEA output files: displacement and force data for each model: extDiplsList_TXCYFull_Fibres.dat and extForceList_TXCYFull_Fibres.dat (in FEModel_processedOutputs.zip)
	
	- instron load/displacement (xls file), raw force/displacment and processed to stress/strain: one file per group (CON_exp_data.xlsx, BP_exp_data.xlsx, NR_exp_data.xlsx, PEP_exp_data.xlsx) each with a sheet per sample and a summary sheet
	
	- processed data (tri-linear fit on stress/strain): one summary file (modulusSummary.xlsx) for computational and experimental values (data on which stats are performed to compare between groups and between experimental and computational values)
