Researchers have devised a revolutionary new technique for measuring the microscopic elasticity of materials. Known as SRAS, the technology works by measuring the speed of sound across the material's ...

The study of elasticity and inhomogeneous materials analysis has evolved into a critical area of research in understanding how internal material variations affect stress distribution, deformation, and ...

Researchers have created a range of soft, elastic gels that change color when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light -- and change back when the UV light is removed or the material is heated up.

Elasticity imaging and material property characterisation represent a rapidly evolving field that bridges computational mechanics and experimental measurement techniques to non‐invasively deduce the ...

Plastics, which are polymeric materials composed of long chains of small molecules called monomers, are widely used in everyday life and industry due to their lightweight, good strength and ...

In fact, a bow and arrow technically counts as our first example of springs over 60,000 years ago. Fast forward to the 1600s, where Robert Hooke came up with a simple formula for ...

A “slight crosslinking” technique that gives ferroelectric materials elastic recovery has been proposed by a research team at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 311, No. 1506 (Jul. 29, 1969), pp. 429-444 (17 pages) It is shown that the mechanism and extent of the ...

Researchers have developed a technique that uses liquid metal to create an elastic material impervious to gases and liquids. An international team of researchers has developed a technique that uses ...

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are artificial materials that boast superior strength and hardness to conventional metals due to a jumbled arrangement at the atomic level. By tweaking this recipe just a ...
