We propose to study the mechanics of a DNA molecule under mechanical stress within the framework of Kirchhoff's rod model.
After the first enthusiastic suggestion of a possible rolling mechanism [6, 7], it was evidenced that under mechanical stress, the nanoparticles slowly deform and exfoliate, transferring WS2 nanosheets onto the underlying surfaces (third body effect), and continue to provide effective lubrication until they are totally exfoliated [8, 9].
It still remains unknown what all the mechanically-sensitive genes and proteins in bone cells under mechanical stress are and how their differential expressions are regulated [ 4].
The biomechanical characteristics of bone tissue and its cells under mechanical stress are significant for bone biomechanics research, but the mechanism of mechanotransduction is still unknown.
The inserts are made of a piezoelectric material, which generates voltage when placed under mechanical stress.
Zinc oxide nanowires show the piezoelectric effect, producing electricity when they are under mechanical stress.

Lenhardt, J. M., Black, A. L. & Craig, S. L. gem-Dichlorocyclopropanes as abundant and efficient mechanophores in polybutadiene copolymers under mechanical stress.
In fact, a Pb2+ - induced SM-ase activity was found (Fig. 6A) very similar to the one described by López, et al.39 under mechanical stress conditions.
The researchers' nanogenerator harnesses the piezoelectric effect the way some crystalline materials produce an electrical potential when placed under mechanical stress.
Capsules, filled with conductive nanotubes, that rip open under mechanical stress could be placed on circuit boards in failure-prone areas.
