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

open access: yes, 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

open access: yesMaterials 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

Negative Energy Elasticity in a Rubberlike Gel [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical 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.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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).

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

open access: yes, 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.

Granular Crystals: Controlling Mechanical Energy with Nonlinearity and Discreteness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The presence of structural discreteness and periodicity can affect the propagation of phonons, sound, and other mechanical waves. A fundamental property of many of the periodic structures and materials designed for this purpose is the presence of ...

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

open access: yesMeikuang 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.

An analysis of human motor control during bipedal walking with passive knee orthoses

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2016
The muscle-tendon units of human beings are helpful for minimizing the energy costs during walking. Therefore, proper use of characteristics of these units is effective for walking support and performance improvement.
