This results in hardening of elastic structures increasing their rigidity and brittleness.

It has been postulated that elastic structures in series with the contractile component can store energy like a spring after being forcibly stretched.

Castigliano's second theorem - for displacements in a linearly elastic structure.

Steady aeroelasticity studies the interaction between aerodynamic and elastic forces on an elastic structure.

Depending on their exact composition (keratin, muscle, elastic structures, etc.), they may have been stiffening or strengthening agents in the outer part of the wing.

The fabric has a flatter, closer, less elastic structure than most weft knits and is run-resistant.

So, suppose we have an elastic structure divided into nonoverlappling substructures, and, for simplicity, suppose the coarse degrees of freedom are only subdomain corners.

This gave a light body that was strong as steel, giving what at the time was regarded as a more elastic structure which would not break as easy.

Stress analysis for elastic structures is based on the theory of elasticity and infinitesimal strain theory.

Variants of this basic approach have been applied to simulate a wide variety of mechanical systems involving elastic structures which interact with fluid flows.
