From: Tendons from kangaroo rats are exceptionally strong and tough
Properties of tendon calculated from stress-strain curves. Bilinear fitted curves (dashed lines) were used for the calculation of toe and elastic stiffness and modulus (R-squares > 0.9 for all 40 tendon samples). TL strain is the toe-to-linear transition strain. Area of the green-hatched region is equal to toughness.
