751 Tearing Strength of the Fascicles Obtained from Rat Tail Tendons

Abstract

Tearing test was performed for the fascicles obtained from rat tail tendons. Tearing strength was defined as the tearing load divided by the tearing width of fascicles. The tearing strength of 9 specimens was 0.0878 ± 0.0320 N/mm (mean ± S.E.).
