Convergence of equilibria of thin elastic plates under physical growth conditions for the energy density [PDF]

, 2012
The asymptotic behaviour of the equilibrium configurations of a thin elastic plate is studied, as the thickness of the plate goes to zero. More precisely, it is shown that critical points of the nonlinear elastic functional converge to critical points of

Estimating the effective bending rigidity of multi-layer graphene

Materials Research Express, 2021
We present a novel analytical prediction for the effective bending rigidity γ _eff of multi–layer graphene sheets. Our approach involves using a variational model to determine the folding conformation of multi–layer graphene sheets where the curvature of

Combined Aerobic and Resistance Training Increases Stretch- Shortening Cycle Potentiation and Walking Economy in Postmenopausal Women

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
PurposeSecondary analyses were performed to test whether combined aerobic and resistance training altered walking economy (i.e., net oxygen uptake) and/or stretch-shortening cycle potentiation (SSCP).

Negative Energy Elasticity in a Rubberlike Gel [PDF]

Physical Review X, 2021
Rubber elasticity is the archetype of the entropic force emerging from the second law of thermodynamics; numerous experimental and theoretical studies on natural and synthetic rubbers have shown that the elasticity originates mostly from entropy change with deformation.

Intrinsically Elastic Robots: the Key to Human Like Performance [PDF]

, 2012
Intrinsically elastic robots, which technically implement some key characteristics of the human muskoskeletal system, have become a major research topic in nowadays robotics. These novel devices open up entirely new control approaches.

Exploiting Elastic Energy Storage for Cyclic Manipulation: Modeling, Stability, and Observations for Dribbling [PDF]

, 2011
For creating robots that are capable of human like performance in terms of speed, energetic properties, and robustness, intrinsic compliance is a promising design element. In this paper we investigate the effects of elastic energy storage and release

On large bending deformations of transversely isotropic rectangular elastic blocks [PDF]

, 2007
In this paper we examine the classical problem of finite bending of a rectangular block of elastic material into a sector of a circular cylindrical tube in respect of compressible transversely isotropic elastic materials.

Coal and rock dynamic disaster analysis in Huainan Mining Area based on key stratum control principle

Meikuang Anquan, 2021
The dynamic disaster induced by mining disturbance is a major problem that affects coal mine safety production. The root cause lies in the large amount of elastic energy in the original rock.
