Typical diffraction patterns of an unstretched, not pre-conditioned (left) and a stretched (right) adventitia cut in the circumferential direction. The load axis is in the QZ direction. The strongest meridional peaks of collagen are indicated by their orders. The half width at half-maximum (HWHM) of the azimuthal intensity distributions are given explicitly for both load cases in the corresponding diffraction pattern. Furthermore, the transformation from Cartesian (QX, QZ) into polar (QR, φ) coordinates is indicated. In the inset the third-order reflection of the stretched adventitia is represented in polar coordinates. The boxed region indicates the area for the radial and azimuthal integration, respectively. The peak shapes in both the φ and QR directions are almost Gaussian.
