Abstract
The tendon is strong tissue that connects the muscle to the bone, and it is necessary to reveal the mechanism of the damage process in the tendon. This study aims to reveal the damage accumulation process of the tendinous tissue with AE Technique. Tensile tests were carried out, and AE signals were detected before the maximum stress. Therefore, the AE technique can find some fiber failure. With using Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique, the some fiber failure on the surface of the tendon can be seen when the AE signals detected.
