Fatigue rupture of wallaby tail tendons

XT Wang, RF Ker and RM Alexander
Department of Pure and Applied Biology, The University, Leeds, UK.

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 a fatigue phenomenon, distinct from the creep rupture that occurs after prolonged application of a constant stress. The two phenomena are disctinguished by experiments in which tensile stress is cycled at different frequencies, ranging from 1 to 50 Hz.
