The number of cycles to failure Nf has been shown to be dependent upon the magnitude of the applied cyclic stress. Method of approach: Utilizing data collected by Schechtman (1995), we demonstrate that the principles of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) can be used to predict the fatigue behavior of tendons under cyclic loading for maximum stress levels that are higher than 10% of the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the tendon (the experimental results at 10% UTS did not fit with our equations). Conclusions: LEFM and other FM approaches may prove to be very valuable in advancing our understanding of damage accumulation in soft connective tissues.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1115\/1.1800556","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,11,23]],"date-time":"2004-11-23T23:03:30Z","timestamp":1101251010000},"page":"641-650","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1115\/crossmarkpolicy-asme","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["A Novel Application of the Principles of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) to the Fatigue Behavior of Tendon Tissue"],"prefix":"10.1115","volume":"126","author":[{"given":"Samer M.","family":"Adeeb","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"McCaig Center for Joint Injury and Arthritis Research, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michelle L.","family":"Zec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McCaig Center for Joint Injury and Arthritis Research, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gail M.","family":"Thornton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Orthopaedic Engineering Research, University of British Columbia and MacInnis Engineering Associates Ltd., Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cyril B.","family":"Frank","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McCaig Center for Joint Injury and Arthritis Research, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nigel G.","family":"Shrive","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McCaig Center for Joint Injury and Arthritis Research, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"33","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,11,23]]},"reference":[{"unstructured":"Anderson, T.
