摘要：
A tendon shows excellent advantages in transmitting large loads efficiently and also in storing elastic energy during locomotion possibly due to its hierarchical structure. Its fractal dimension is calculated, which is quite close to the golden mean, 1.618. The present study might provide a new interpretation for the reason why the tendon has so many excellent properties. Based on this theory, a composite yarn with hierarchical structure is designed.
