Strain rate-dependent characteristics of STG-TSA. Quadratic fitting of the derived tension versus elongation for (A) the Dyneema line and (B) the STG-Dyneema line at different rotation speeds (red dotted rectangular areas: steep region of the tension–elongation curves). (C) Comparison of the slopes of linear fitting for tension–elongation relationships at different rotation speeds between the Dyneema line and STG-Dyneema line. (D) Comparison of the elasticity (slope of linear fitting for a steep range of tension–elongation relationships) at different rotation speeds between the Dyneema line and STG-Dyneema line.
