The phrase "enhance stiffness" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to materials science, engineering, or physical fitness, where increasing rigidity or resistance is desired.
Example: "The new composite material is designed to enhance stiffness, making it ideal for structural applications."
Alternatives: "increase rigidity" or "improve firmness."
Within NFC hydrogels, denser "floc-like" regions typically form, separated by less dense "weak links".[ 24, 25] A lack of dynamics within NFC cross-links coupled with separated material domains led us to the use of dynamic supramolecular linkages to enhance stiffness and yield strain, thus targeting significant challenges associated with the utilization of NFC hydrogels.
Combined, the proliferation and phospho-myosin labeling data are consistent with a model in which surface ectoderm Wnt ligands control the number of RPE cells by promoting proliferation and may enhance stiffness in the RPE by enhancing the production of contractile actin complexes.
This zone exhibits enhanced stiffness after annealing at 120 °C.
Structural analyses demonstrate that this configuration enhances stiffness in multiple directions.
Hence, emphasis on the shell structure evolution is directed primarily towards providing enhanced stiffness.
Besides, scarf joints with aligned adherends in the same plane exhibited enhanced stiffness and strength in consideration of single lap joints.
Three-dimensional cultures of dermal fibroblasts encapsulated within matrices of different stiffness were shown to promote dramatically different cell morphologies, and enhanced stiffness resulted in upregulation of key-mediators of inflammation such as IL-10 and COX-2.
Also, it is shown in the particular case of elastic and spherical heterogeneities, by a proper choice of phases' stiffness ratio Q, that auxetic reinforcements represent a good compromise to have simultaneously enhanced stiffness and loss factor response in composite materials.
For example, each AA dinucleotide embedded in an oligo A-tract of 3 bp or longer has a highly unusual structure that confers to the tract enhanced stiffness and resistance to bending forces.
The CFRP laminate is not designed to fail first to serve as a warning of imminent failure, but rather to enhance the stiffness of the beam by compensating for the lack of stiffness of the GFRP profile.
The higher of film stiffness, the stronger capacity of resisting disturbance of gas film; hence, it is of cardinal importance to enhance the stiffness of gas films to minimize vibration due to external excitations.
