The phrase "altering the mechanical" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing changes or modifications to mechanical systems, processes, or components.
Example: "The engineer focused on altering the mechanical aspects of the device to improve its efficiency."
Alternatives: "modifying the mechanical" or "changing the mechanical".
These results show that altering the mechanical properties of Al particles affects their reactivity.
In this paper, the effectiveness of the ECAE process in altering the mechanical property of PC is investigated.
Many molecular therapies show promise for changing the way the shoulder heals and altering the mechanical properties of the repaired shoulder.
Low-pressure nitrogen-based coatings were employed to augment cell adhesion and proliferation without altering the mechanical properties of the structures.
These results show that altering the mechanical properties and combustion performance of Al particles is strongly dependent on the annealing temperature and unchanged with variation in cooling rate.
Arvanitoyannis et al. (1998) attempted to make biodegradable blended LDPE with starch and found that starch 10% (w/w) content in blended LDPE enhanced its biodegradation rate by altering the mechanical properties.
Simulations of a monatomic model amorphous matrix embedded with approximately 37% of a body-centered cubic phase demonstrate mechanisms by which nanocrystallites can alter the mechanical response of metallic glass.
Degeneration, injury, and surgical interventions may alter the mechanical properties of spinal motion segments, but the quantification of these alterations in vivo is problematic.
