Properties of Materials apply to Penises?

Ok, I'm an engineering student and I was wondering if the properties of materials applied to penises as well.

For example: When stretching, just pulling on your penis, you target mainly (If not only) the part of your penis with the smallest cross section. In my case it's the base. I changed most of my normal JAI stretches to V-Stretches to ensure I'm targetting the external parts mostly and not just the base.

I don't have much knowledge on muscle growth so I based it on mechanics of materials.

There is a world of difference between the mechanical and the bio-mechanical!

What cusp says is true, but animal studies that have been done on collagenous tissue structures and what is known about the response of ligaments and tendons to rehabilitative physical therapy suggests that fascial tissue like the tunica albuginea of the penis, and the suspensory and fundiform ligaments, do manifest elastic, visco-elastic, and plastic properties in response to deforming forces.

If you are an engineer, maybe you will enjoy this: BME 332: Ligament/Tendon Structure-Function
