Sentences with phrase «strain energy»
Strain energy refers to the stored energy within an object when it is deformed or strained. When an object is stretched, compressed, or twisted, it absorbs energy. This energy is stored within the object as strain energy. It is like when you stretch a rubber band or coil a spring, they store this energy, and when released they return to their original shape due to the release of strain energy. Full definition
And the absorption of strain energy has been linked to the risk of strain injury.

The Hunter Energy Life Model creates a relationship between strain energy and material life to fully capture the mechanism of failure of materials.
The entire Himalayan arc may host dozens of pockets of strain energy awaiting release in future great earthquakes.»
So it has been accumulating strain energy for a long time.»
In the case of the Longmenshan fault, there had been a slow accumulation of strain energy without release by a major seismic event for more than a millennium.
When the failure at the fault plane results in a violent displacement of the Earth's crust, the elastic strain energy is released and seismic waves are radiated, thus causing an earthquake.
The uniformity of SWNT diameter is attributed to the efficient annealing of an initial fullerene tubelet kept open by a few metal atoms; the optimum diameter is determined by competition between the strain energy of curvature of the graphene sheet and the dangling - bond energy of the open edge, where growth occurs.
Moment balancing compares how much seismic strain energy is accumulated along a fault over a certain period with the amount of strain energy released over the same period.
«The 3D transformation process involves a balance between the forces of adhesion to the substrate and the strain energies of the bent, twisted elements that make up the planar precursors,» explained Sheng Xu, a postdoctoral fellow and co-author of the research paper.
