Arteries pulse to bursting along the head and neck; even the ears are twisted by strain and speed.
The actuation strain and speed of ionic electroactive polymer (EAP) actuators are mainly determined by the charge transport through the actuators and excess ion storage near the electrodes.
In other words, the outboard wheel strains to speed up while the inboard wheel strives to slow down.
The Mariachi band have cranked it up a gear or two - Malawi 3, Algeria 0, in front of an empty stadium, to the banging strains of speed Mariachi.
Notch tip strain and crack speed are computed from the images, which show that crack speed increases asymptotically as the crack initiation strain rate increases.
The confirmation of the presence of the strain underscored the speed with which the virus has spread as it has moved erratically across Asia and Russia and reached Europe.
It measures the percentage of deformation of the left ventricle (LV) during systole (systolic strain) and the speed at which this deformation occurs (strain rate) [4, 5].
An emerging technique, two-dimensional-strain echocardiography, allows assessment of the left ventricle systolic longitudinal deformation (global longitudinal strain) and the speed at which this deformation occurs (systolic strain rate).
The structural engineering problem associated with a ship colliding with an ice-ridge involves highly nonlinear mechanisms including buckling, collapse, crushing, plasticity and fracture together with environmental and operational factors, such as the loading speed (strain rate), temperature and salinity.
We performed compression tests on double cone samples to characterize the effects of strain and deformation speed on globularization of the lamellar microstructure, crystallographic texture and boundary misorientation development.
