mechanical properties and factors of safety of spider draglines

mechanical,properties,factors,safety,spider,draglines Experiments were carried out to determine the strain energy capacity and breaking strain of spider drag-line silk. These properties are discussed in terms of a mathematical model of a spider falling on a drag-line. It was found that the strain energy capacity of the drag-line was insufficient to absorb the potential energy lost by [...]
