Delay of twitch relaxation induced by stress and stress relaxation
The triceps surae of male rats was prepared in situ for isometric and isotonic recording and for stimulation through the cut sciatic nerve. Relaxation in isometric twitches is markedly delayed in muscle showing high resting tension. The time course of the delayed twitch relaxation is similar to that of stress relaxation in quickly stretched resting ...

Calculation of Relaxation Spectra from Stress Relaxation Measurements [PDF]
Application of stress on materials increases the energy of the system. After removal of stress,\ud macromolecules comprising the material shift towards equilibrium to minimize the total\ud energy of the system. This process occurs through molecular rearrangements or “relaxation”\ud during which macromolecules attain conformations of a lower energetic ...

Stress relaxation analysis of single chondrocytes using porohyperelastic model based on AFM experiments [PDF]
Based on atomic force microscopytechnique, we found that the chondrocytes exhibits stress relaxation behavior. We explored the mechanism of this stress relaxation behavior and concluded that the intracellular fluid exuding out from the cells during ...

Stress, Relaxation States, and Creativity
114 participants in four groups practiced 25 minutes of progressive muscle relaxation, yoga stretching, imagery, or a control task. Before and after training, participants took state versions of the Smith Quick Stress Test (which measures Somatic Stress, Negative Affect, and Worry) and the Smith R-State Inventory (which measures relaxation-related ...

Stress Relaxation Behavior and Its Prediction of CrMoWV Steel
The stress relaxation data up to 8760h at 550℃ and 600℃of 12Cr-1Mo-1W-0.25V heat-resistant steel were used as the object to study the method of how to accurately and effectively predict long-term relaxation stress by using short-time relaxation data ...

Stress-Relaxation and Cyclic Behavior of Human Carotid Plaque Tissue [PDF]
Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is a catastrophic event that contributes to mortality and long-term disability. A better understanding of the plaque mechanical behavior is essential for the identification of vulnerable plaques pre-rupture.
