[[File:Fig 2.2.png|thumb|'''2.2''' Two linearly elastic tissues A and B have stress - strain curves as shown. The energy absorbed by A and B is represented here by the area beneath the curve, At any given value of stress, a, the strain r is less for A than for B. A has absorbed less energy than B. A is stiffer than B. If A and B were bones, A would be the more mineralised.]] | [[File:Fig 2.2.png|thumb|'''2.2''' Two linearly elastic tissues A and B have stress - strain curves as shown.
