We showed that the fracture energy had a correlation with the elasticity in porcine small intestinal tissues, which was also suggested in polymer mechanics, thus being a promising avenue toward the ability to estimate the maximum applicable force onto a biological tissue without causing damage during surgery. Attention should also be pointed, however, towards investigating the extent at which polymer mechanics and biomechanics overlap.
