A new criterion of coal burst proneness based on the residual elastic energy index
International Journal of Mining Science and Technology, 2021 To evaluate the coal burst proneness more precisely, a new energy criterion namely the residual elastic energy index was proposed. This study begins by performing the single-cyclic loading-unloading uniaxial compression tests with five pre-peak unloading

Indirect actuation reduces flight power requirements in Manduca sexta via elastic energy exchange. [PDF]
J R Soc Interface, 2019 In the vast majority of flying insects, wing movements are generated indirectly via the deformations of the exoskeleton. Indirect measurements of inertial and aerodynamic power requirements suggest that elastic energy exchange in spring-like structures ...

Serpentine locomotion through elastic energy release. [PDF]
J R Soc Interface, 2017 A model for serpentine locomotion is derived from a novel perspective based on concepts from configurational mechanics. The motion is realized through the release of the elastic energy of a deformable rod, sliding inside a frictionless channel, which ...

Solid stress and elastic energy as measures of tumour mechanopathology. [PDF]
Nat Biomed Eng, 2016 Solid stress and tissue stiffness affect tumour growth, invasion, metastasis and treatment. Unlike stiffness, which can be precisely mapped in tumours, the measurement of solid stresses is challenging.

Giant linear strain gradient with extremely low elastic energy in a perovskite nanostructure array. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2017 Although elastic strains, particularly inhomogeneous strains, are able to tune, enhance or create novel properties of some nanoscale functional materials, potential devices dominated by inhomogeneous strains have not been achieved so far.

Movement Strategies for Countermovement Jumping are Potentially Influenced by Elastic Energy Stored and Released from Tendons. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 The preferred movement strategies that humans choose to produce work for movement are not fully understood. Previous studies have demonstrated an important contribution of elastic energy stored within the Achilles tendon (AT) during jumping.
