Notes: The mechanical characterization of rabbit Achilles' tendon and anterior cruciate ligament is presented. Both static and dynamic mechanical tests have been performed on fresh explanted tissues. Experimental results are presented and discussed in terms of a relationship between structural architecture and mechanical properties. The differences in collagen fibre configuration and composition between tendon and ligament influence the tensile and viscoelastic properties. In particular, tendons and ligaments showed a gradual transition from a rubber-like to a glassy-like behaviour during the loading process due to the traightening of collagen fibres.
