Published: 1 March 1995
...Xiao Tong Wang; Robert F. Ker ABSTRACT The tail tendons from wallabies ( Macropus rufogriseus ) suffer creep rupture at stresses of 10 MPa or above, whereas their yield stress in a dynamic test is about 144 MPa. At stresses between 20 and 80 MPa, the time-to-rupture decreases exponentially...

...Xiao Tong Wang; Robert F. Ker; R. Mcneill Alexander ABSTRACT Wallaby tail tendons fail after repeated application of stresses much lower than would be needed to break them in a single pull. We show that this is a fatigue phenomenon, distinct from the creep rupture that occurs after prolonged...
