A modified forced silking procedure was developed to allow an accurate study of the tensile properties of spider (Argiope trifasciata) silk, especially the characterization of the variability of the tensile properties of forcibly silked fibers. The procedure involves an immobilization technique that

Mechanical tests were performed on single brins of Bombyx mori silkworm silk, to obtain values of elastic modulus (E), yield strength, tensile breaking strength, and shear modulus (G). Specimen cross-sectional areas, needed to convert tensile loads into stresses, were derived from diameter measureme
## Abstract Tensile properties of __Attacus atlas__ (__Saturniidae__) silk were measured in air, water, and ethanol. Control samples in air showed a large variability, so a normalization method was developed to enable comparison with the behavior of samples submerged in the liquid media. Amino acid
