Nano-scale mechanisms explain the stiffening and strengthening of ligament tissue with increasing strain rate
Ligament failure is a major societal burden causing disability and pain. Failure is caused by trauma at high loading rates. At the macroscopic level increasing strain rates cause an increase in failure stress and modulus, but the mechanism for this strain rate dependency is not known. Here we invest...
