Effect of damage dissemination on crack propagation in polypropylene
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that the rate of Fatigue Crack Propagation (FCP) does not increase monotonically as predicted by conventional laws of fracture mechanics.

Investigating mechanisms of tendon damage by measuring multi-scale recovery following tensile loading
TL;DR: It is shown that non-recoverable sliding between collagen fibrils is a mechanism for tendon damage and is responsible for the macroscale decreased linear modulus and elongated toe-region observed at the fascicle-level, and these macroscale properties are appropriate metrics that reflect tendon damage.
