The phrase "longitudinal stretching" is grammatically correct and can be used in written English.
It refers to the act of extending or elongating something in the direction of its length. Example: As part of the physical therapy session, the patient was instructed to perform longitudinal stretching exercises to improve flexibility in their leg muscles.
"Shallow shell" equations are used, and it is assumed that the dominant structural effects in the shell are longitudinal stretching and circumferential bending.
A non-linear theory is presented for plane deformation of beams which allows for longitudinal stretching as well as for cross-sectional stretching and shearing.
The longitudinal stretching gives rise to a displacement of the temperature at which the α″ process occurs in LLDPE2 film with respect to LLDPE1 film.
This model aims to bridge the gap between the Love Kirchhoff theory and the approximate beam-on-elastic-foundation model of Vlasov ("long-wave" model), which accounts for only longitudinal stretching and circumferential bending.
Two types of stable nontopological soliton solutions which describe either (i) a supersonic solitary wave of longitudinal stretching accompanied by transverse slendering or (ii) supersonic pulses of longitudinal compression propagating together with localized transverse thickening (bulge) have been obtained.
Vessel tortuosity is caused by a combination of vessel dilation from radial stretching and the vessel taking a more serpentine path because of longitudinal stretching.
However, at the same time, because of the physical nature of the capillary network as a mesh surrounding alveoli, firmly attached to the alveolar wall via the basement membrane, lung inflation would produce significant "longitudinal" stretch of the capillary wall, as proposed by West as part of his theory of capillary stress failure (14, 53).
Benthic sediment and gastropod samples were collected on quarterly basis from June 2015 to March 2016 along the longitudinal stretch of the river.
Closed form analytical solutions for the membrane stresses, deformed profiles and energy release rate are obtained in the regime of large longitudinal stretch.
Accurate fits were attained for the pressure radius force data, spanning a wide range of longitudinal stretch ratios, when using the exponential form; the biphasic SEFs failed to generate improved fits, being also over-parameterized.
In addition, this study also supports earlier findings suggesting that telcagepant may act as an unsurmountable antagonist at concentrations greater than 10-8 M. Furthermore, parameters such as wall tension (i.e. transmural pressure), flow, shear stress, myogenic tone, and longitudinal stretch can be confounding factors affecting vascular responses to both agonists and antagonists in vivo.
