Elastic energy storage and the efficiency of movement
Current Biology, 2022 Movement is an integral part of animal biology. It enables organisms to escape from danger, acquire food, and perform courtship displays. Changing the speed or vertical position of a body requires mechanical energy. This energy is typically provided by the biological motor, striated muscle.

Influence of Humidity on the Energy of Specific Strain in the Process of Loading Sedimentary Rocks
Studia Geotechnica et Mechanica, 2019 This article presents the results of tests on the energy properties of sedimentary rocks in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin. The rocks were tested both in an air-dry state and in a water saturation state.

Energy Propagation in a Cauchy Elastic Material [PDF]
Quarterly of Applied Mathematics, 1972 It has been shown by Schouten [1] that in an anisotropic homogeneous elastic material subjected to infinitesimal deformations the energy propagation vector is necessarily normal to the slowness surface. It can be readily shown (see, for example, [2]) that the bicharacteristics are also normal to the slowness surface.

Estimating the rockburst hazard of hard rocks based on laboratory test results
Vestnik MGTU, 2019 The relevance of the problem under study is based on the fact that dynamic fractures of mine workings occur in rock masses when developing mineral deposits. Safety assurance of mining depends on the awareness of proneness of various rock types to brittle

Variation of Elastic Energy Shows Reliable Signal of Upcoming Catastrophic Failure
Frontiers in Physics, 2019 We consider the Equal-Load-Sharing Fiber Bundle Model as a model for composite materials under stress and derive elastic energy and damage energy as a function of strain.

Low-energy elastic electron scattering from helium atoms
, 2021 We reinvestigate a key process in electron-atom collision physics, the elastic scattering of electrons from helium atoms. Specifically, results from a special-purpose relativistic polarized-orbital method, which is designed to treat elastic scattering ...

Energy distribution in disordered elastic networks [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2010 Disordered networks are found in many natural and artificial materials, from gels or cytoskeletal structures to metallic foams or bones. Here, the energy distribution in this type of networks is modeled, taking into account the orientation of the struts.

Intrinsically Elastic Robots: the Key to Human Like Performance
, 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.
