... Zealand rabbit Achilles tendons. We presented a local formulation of thermodynamic evolution outside equilibrium at a representative element volume scale to describe the tendon’s macroscopic behavior based on the notion of relaxed stress. It was shown that the model corresponds quite well...

...Oluseeni A. Komolafe; Todd C. Doehring Although the overall bulk properties of the Achilles tendon have been measured, there is little information detailing the properties of individual fascicles or their interactions. The knowledge of biomechanical properties at the fascicle-scale is critical...
