The combination of boron and carbon fibers allow higher stiffness to weight ratios than carbon fiber alone.
Three properties designers look for in domes are low mass, high stiffness and good damping.
This plastic has the highest stiffness of all plastic picks.
Friction spun yarns with a high %age of core have a high stiffness.
The paper needs high stiffness and strong wet sizing.
This is a low density material with high stiffness and has a slightly yellow colour, mainly on the inside.
For instance, suppose there are two buildings that share the same high stiffness.
However, hydroformed bellows have lower performance characteristics due to relatively thick walls and high stiffness.
In order to achieve such a large amount of energy storage the CNT springs must maintain high stiffness and elasticity.
Dislocations are repulsed by regions of higher stiffness.
