In-Depth Information
(b) For the conditions described in part (a), determine the tendon's elongation
(in meters), axial strain, and axial stiffness (in Newtons per meter).
(c) During ACL replacement surgery, the cross-sectional area of the tendon is
typically reduced by one-third. What effect does this have on the maximum
axial load that the tendon can maintain without rupture?
(d) What is the maximum amount that the tendon cross-sectional area can be
reduced, before we would predict it to fail when rising from a chair?
