Sentence examples for applied mechanical force from inspiring English sources
Tangential flow of liquid along a charged colloidal surface can be induced by an applied mechanical force or by an external electric field (electro-osmosis, electrophoresis).
A new application of ZnO nanowires is the generation of electricity by converting an applied mechanical force to electricity through the piezoelectric effect [8].
Such unclicking approaches could be used to prepare hydrogels capable of degradation under applied mechanical force.
Higher force induced faster erosion rate, and an exponential relationship was observed between half time (t1/2) and the applied mechanical force.
Interestingly, applied mechanical force appears to regulate the assembly of focal contacts and integrin turnover (Riveline et al., 2001; Pines et al., 2012), consistent with the idea that with age this regulation is no longer as finely tuned leading to excess integrin accumulation and consequent heart defects.
The von Frey's filament was applied to the midplantar surface of the ipsilateral hind paw, and the measurements of applied mechanical force were taken automatically.

Both wavelength and intensity of the stimulated emission can be tuned by controlling the dimension of the nanowires and external applied mechanical forces.
It is revealed that extra piezoelectric charges induced by applied mechanical forces increase the overall charge density of the nanowire, subsequently enhancing the emission intensity.
The compression of pellets, made by solid lipid extrusion/spheronization processes, presents peculiar difficulties since solid lipids usually soften or melt at relatively low temperature ranges and due to applied mechanical forces.
