Through this experiment, it is understood that there is no explicit
hypothesis of interest. The experiment is purposely open ended so that students
will determine what constitutes failure and which two groups to compare
(different suture techniques).
To quantify the failure energy in order to determine suture performance for resisting separation under variable tensile loading.
