The first law of thermodynamics says that the internal energy of a system is given
by
for a reversible process, we can write, from the second law of thermodynamics
For such polymers, one can write an expression for the entropy of the form, where
p is the probability of finding a particular chain configuration
The tensile force applied to the rubber cube in direction 1 leads to draw ratios λ1,
λ2,andλ3along directions 1, 2, and 3, respectively
Assuming that the polymer chain follows ‘‘random walk” statistics, it can be shown
that the distribution of lengths,r, follows a Gaussian distribution.
Stress-Strain Behavior of Biological Materials
Stress–strain curve for samples from the superficial zone of articular cartilage. Samples
were cut parallel and perpendicular to collagen fiber orientation. (From G. E. Kempson,

Force vs. Extension for DNA Molecule
Stresses in a Thin Film
Two atoms with an imaginary spring between them; (a) equilibrium position; (b) stretched
configuration under tensile force; (c) compressed configuration under compressive force.
Attraction and Repulsion between Two Atoms
(b) Force between two atoms as a function of separation; slope decreases as separation increases .
