The fiber reinforced elastomeric isolator (FREI), in contrast to the steel reinforced elastomeric isolator (SREI) which is assumed to be rigid both in extension and flexure, is assumed to be flexible in extension, but completely lacking flexural rigidity.
The FREI, in contrast to the SREI (steel reinforced elastomeric isolator), which is assumed to be rigid both in extension and flexure, is assumed to be flexible in extension, but completely lacking flexural rigidity.
The beam is assumed to be flexible in one transverse derection only and a model is considered which accounts for non-linear stiffness due to mid-line stretching and non-linear inertia effects due to the rotation.

Brücker et al. (2014) also use this type of equation to estimate the elasticity of substitution between highly and low-skilled workers (as well as between natives and immigrants) for three European countries where wages are not assumed to be perfectly flexible.
The calculated P-to-P distance for two base pairs along a B-form helix is very similar to the calculated "average" P-to-P distance in the HEG (∼19Å) if the tether is assumed to be fully flexible (see Materials and Methods), suggesting that the trajectory of the non-templating spacer nucleotides in the bridging strand approximates a normal B-form helix, as in a single-strand stack (Fig. 7).
