To produce sounds, we adjust the tension of our vocal cords to shape theirproperties and control the pitch. This efficient mechanism offers inspirationfor designing reconfigurable materials and adaptable soft robots. However,understanding how flexible structures respond to a significant static strain isnot straightforward. This complexity also limits the precision of medicalimaging when applied to tensioned organs like muscles, tendons, ligaments andblood vessels among others. In this article, we experimentally andtheoretically explore the dynamics of a soft strip subject to a substantialstatic extension, up to 180\%. Our observations reveal a few intriguingeffects, such as the resilience of certain vibrational modes to a staticdeformation. These observations are supported by a model based on theincremental displacement theory. This has promising practical implications forcharacterizing soft materials but also for scenarios where external actions canbe used to tune properties.
