tendoninspired
tendoninspired is a term used to describe artificial materials or structures that mimic the properties and functions of biological tendons. Tendons are tough, fibrous cords of connective tissue that connect muscles to bones, enabling movement by transmitting the forces generated by muscle contractions. They are characterized by their high tensile strength, elasticity, and ability to withstand significant mechanical stress.
Research into tendoninspired materials aims to replicate these desirable attributes for a variety of applications. This
The design of tendoninspired structures often focuses on replicating the hierarchical organization of natural tendons. Biological
