This is the complete data set for the research article "Paws, pads, and plants: The enhanced elasticity of cell-filled load-bearing structures" by LA Mihai, K Alayyash & A Goriely, accepted for publication by the Proceedings of the Royal Society of London A on April 30, 2015. It comprises (i) files for the computational models of periodic cellular structures of nonlinear elastic material with or without inclusions subject to axial tension or compression - produced within the open-source software Finite Elements for Biomechanics (FEBio) environment; and (ii) tables with the corresponding numerical results for the mean effective Cauchy stress and apparent elastic modulus plotted in Figures 10, 11, 12 and 14 - presented in the numerical examples section (section 3) of the paper. ----------- Mihai LA, Alayyash K, Goriely A. 2015 Paws, pads and plants: The enhanced elasticity of cell-filled load-bearing structures.
