Based on different physical assumptions six possible models are developed or adopted concerning the component of the elastic modulus of a single microfibril, i.e. the elastic modulus that is parallel to cell axis about which the microfibril is coiled like a loose or lazy spring. A thorough evaluation regarding the disparities between the rigorous and simplified models is presented. The simulation demonstrates that the simplified models differ considerably from the rigorous one especially in the small microfibril angle range. This would explain the poor estimations of cell wall stiffness at low microfibril angles as seen in previous modelling studies.
