elastic strain energy

The two threshold values for the elastic strain energy and are derived from experimental data.

This comes from the relation between and the elastic strain energy of distortion :

Effect of elastic strain energy on phase transformations.

An earthquake is caused by the release of stored elastic strain energy during rapid sliding along a fault.

From this work Griffith formulated his own theory of brittle fracture, using elastic strain energy concepts.

A drawback of the criterion is that elastic strain energy densities are small and comparatively hard to derive.

The process of amplification begins when a muscle contracts steadily, storing elastic strain energy in the tendon.

Energetics of stretching; elastic strain energy.

It then follows that the total elastic strain energy of a slab of cross-sectional area A is given by:

Elastic proteins also contain high resilience and low stiffness which helps with the function of elastic strain energy.

An additional calculation is required between the two analyses for converting element elastic strain energies into hysteretic heat generation rates per unit volume.

Tectonic earthquakes occur anywhere in the earth where there is sufficient stored elastic strain energy to drive fracture propagation along a fault plane.

This analysis shows equilibrium thermal fluctuations and elastic strain energy distributions, which allows for identification of rigid and flexible protein domains.

The conversion of elastic strain energy to shear heating can potentially be an attractive mechanism for facilitating localized deformation in the lithosphere.

From the viewpoint of mechanics, elastocapillarity phenomena essentially involve competition between the elastic strain energy in the bulk and the energy on the surfaces/interfaces.

A CNT spring can store elastic strain energy with a density several orders of magnitude higher than conventional springs made of steel.

Values of were estimated by McLean using the elastic strain energy, , released by the segregation of solute atoms.

This decrease in force level under the same displacement (strain) level indicates that the elastic strain energy stored in the body is decreasing-is being released.

The last term in this equation is the elastic strain energy , given above, and is governed by the mismatch between the solute and the matrix atoms.

In an active area like Japan or Papua New Guinea, it may take tens or hundreds of years for the elastic strain energy to accumulate in the rocks.

An elastic material is defined as one in which the total internal energy is equal to the potential energy of the internal forces (also called the elastic strain energy).

Co-contraction can last for up to half a second, and during this period the extensor muscle shortens and stores elastic strain energy by distorting stiff cuticular structures in the leg.

Simple calculations based kangaroo hopping and forces involved in hopping show how storage of elastic strain energy can save twenty to thirty percent of metabolic energy required for hopping.

Mobile lattice defects have been observed via Bragg reflections, due to the modulation of the light waves in the strain field of the defect and its stored elastic strain energy.

The total potential energy, , is the sum of the elastic strain energy, U, stored in the deformed body and the potential energy, V, associated to the applied forces:
