For laterally flexible systems, CD on same side of CR and near to CM, leads to higher reduction in edge accelerations, whereas, locating CD at the extreme distance from CM on the side of CR leads to higher reduction in stiff edge displacement and opposite for flexible edge displacement.
Further, from the average trend, it is observed that the ratio, R t, for stiff edge displacement, u ys, decreases and remains less than unity with increase in e x /r.
In the 6-story building model LS4 with stiff lateral stiffness, the story shear, displacement, and inter-story drift calculated from the ESL method closely match the average response calculated from the time history method.
The process of transformation of information in this chain was considered for two extreme cases of OM gel-HCB interaction: 1) the HCBs exactly follow the gel displacement; 2) stiff stereocilia and weak surrounding gel allow the relative motion of the bundle with regard to the gel.
Likewise, the complex shape of the sperm cells may have evolved as a consequence of sperm displacement, with stiff lateral bristles that can be involved in preventing the sperm from being removed from the antrum [ 49, 50].
For soft flexible linkers, thermal forces will drive the probe through large displacements, but stiff linkers clamp the probe and suppress unwanted noise.
The displacement trajectory on stiff ECMs is smoother (Fig. 3A) than on soft ECMs (Fig. 3B), in contrast to the more prominent "stick-slip" migration phenotype observed on soft ECMs.
The kinematical hypotheses of Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories are used to describe the displacement fields of the stiff layers and cores respectively.
Displacement and acceleration at stiff edge of building.
An alternative active model is one in which the force is assumed to act across a very stiff OC, resulting in an active displacement, as in the model of Neely [ 80].
