The hierarchical structure of tendon allows for attenuation of mechanical strain down
decreasing length scales. While reorganization of collagen fibers accounts for microscale …

The forelimb superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) is an energy‐storing tendon that is
highly susceptible to injury during activities such as galloping and jumping, such that it is …

Tendons are collagenous soft tissues that transmit loads between muscles and bones.
Depending on their anatomical function, tendons are classified as positional or energy …

Tendons of the body differ dramatically in their function, mechanics and range of motion, but
all connect to bone via an enthesis. Effective force transfer at the enthesis enables joint …

Soft tissues exhibit complex viscoelastic behavior, including strain-rate dependence,
hysteresis, and strain-dependent relaxation. In this paper, a model for soft tissue …

人体肌肉骨骼系统简称肌骨系统, 包括骨骼, 骨骼肌与关节连接, 其力学模型是典型的多柔体系统
. 从多体动力学角度研究肌骨系统, 主要关注其在运动过程中的肌肉内力, 关节力矩及产生的动力 …

Mechanical loading may be required for proper tendon formation. However, it is not well
understood how tendon formation is impacted by the development of weight-bearing …

Tendon injuries are common to all ages. Injured tendons typically do not recover full
functionality. The amount and organization of tendon constituents dictate their mechanical …

Biological springs can be used in nature for energy conservation and ultra-fast motion. The
loading and unloading rates of elastic materials can play an important role in determining …

Collagen fibrils are the most important structural component of tendons. Their crimped
structure and parallel arrangement within the tendon lead to a distinctive non-linear stress …
