A comparative study was conducted to evaluate the temperature-sensitive mechanical properties of glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites in the longitudinal and transverse directions.
As a consequence, there can be distinct modifications to the near-surface microstructure and chemical, physical, and mechanical properties which, for example, can appear as changes in corrosion behavior, electronic properties, stiffness, hardness, wear-resistance, friction response, or other surface-region-sensitive mechanical properties such as fatigue and contact fracture toughness.
Such an unusual ionic environment on the apical side of hair cells is essential for normal hearing, as it provides an energetically efficient and sensitive mechanism to transduce mechanical deflection of stereocilia into the receptor potential of hair cells [25].
In conclusion, mineralisation by fully differentiated osteoblasts, MLO-A5s, was shown to be highly sensitive to mechanical loading, with short bouts of mechanical loading having a strong effect on mineralised matrix production.
A piezoelectric sensor, such as a PZT sensor, is sensitive to mechanical vibration, including that from external noise sources such as thermal strain in the mechanical support.
There is both clinical and experimental evidence that the myocardium is sensitive to mechanical unloading and that when the failing, overloaded heart is mechanically unloaded its function is initially improved (1 2 3).
In addition to the temperature sensitivity, by virtue of its soft porous nature, hydrogels may be made sensitive to mechanical oscillations/vibrations like those generated from high-frequency RF field, which can rupture and widen the mesh structure if incorporated with magnetic nanostructures (MNS).
TLR2 expression also seems sensitive to mechanical stress, at least in the endothelium, where it has been shown to be upregulated by various types of mechanical strains [ 17].
They are, however, more sensitive to mechanical damage.
