... and return with increasing speed. Using the elastic modulus values specific to kangaroo rat tendons, we sought to determine how much elastic energy is stored and returned during hopping across a range of speeds. In vivo techniques were used to record tendon force in the ankle extensors during steady-speed...

... wall strain was calculated as the increment in mean wall radius divided by its initial value, where mean wall radius was r + h /2. Stress and strain increments were then used to calculate the stiffness, or incremental elastic modulus, of the VA as a function of inflation P (eqns 1–3 and 12...

... strains and that the force–length relationship of the whole tendon is relatively linear, particularly at high strains. The stiffness, elastic modulus and hysteresis varied across the population(inter-quartile range of 145–231 N mm –1 ,0.67–1.07 GPa and 17–35%, respectively). These values are within...

... properties measured include longitudinal sound velocity, density, elastic modulus and hysteresis. Tissues were classified by type as follows: mandibular acoustic fat, mandibular blubber, forehead acoustic fat (melon), forehead blubber, muscle and connective tissue. Results show that each class of tissues has...

... in the circulation, but they must also be stable to inflation over a range of pressure. These mechanical requirements are met by strain-dependent increases in the elastic modulus of the vascular wall, manifest by a J-shaped stress–strain curve, as typically exhibited by other soft biological tissues. All vertebrates...

...Patrick S. MacGillivray; Erik J. Anderson; Glenda M. Wright; M. Edwin Demont ABSTRACT The goal of this study was to obtain a complete description of the elastic modulus and hysteresis of the mantle tissue of the squid Loligo pealei over the entire functional region of the mantle. In addition...
