Abstract (EN)

In this thesis, tendons and ligaments that holds skeletal and muscular system together are investigated with the help of hyperelastic material models and results of different material models are interpreted with the help of computer aided engineering programs. Axial forces are applied to tendons and ligaments in order to obtain stres-strain curve while doing constitutive modelling. After that, curve fitting methods are used to get the Mooney-Rivlin and Ogden constants. Constitutive model is formed by finite element model with the help of computer aided engineering programs and results of Mooney-Rivlin and Ogden models are interpreted.
