Variation in the Elastic Modulus and Increased Energy Dissipation Induced by Cyclic Straining of <i>Argiope bruennichi</i> Major Ampullate Gland Silk

Variation in the Elastic Modulus and Increased Energy Dissipation Induced by Cyclic Straining of <i>Argiope bruennichi</i> Major Ampullate Gland Silk

The trends exhibited by the parameters that describe the mechanical behaviour of major ampullate gland silk fibers spun by <i>Argiope bruennichi</i> spiders is explored by performing a series of loading-unloading tests at increasing values of strain, and by the subsequent analysis of the...
