Elastic proteins: biological roles and mechanical properties

Elastic proteins: biological roles and mechanical properties.

The term 'elastic protein' applies to many structural proteins with diverse functions and mechanical properties so there is room for confusion about its meaning. Elastic implies the property of elasticity, or the ability to deform reversibly without loss of energy; so elastic proteins should have high resilience. Another meaning for elastic is 'stretchy', or the ability to be deformed to large ...

determination of some physical and mechanical properties red bean

چکیده: در این تحقیق، برخی خواص فیزیکی و مکانیکی لوبیا قرمز به-صورت تابعی از محتوی رطوبت بررسی شد. نتایج نشان داد که رطوبت بر خواص فیزیکی لوبیا قرمز شامل طول، عرض، ضخامت، قطر متوسط هندسی، قطر متوسط حسابی، سطح تصویر شده، حجم، چگالی توده، تخلخل، وزن هزار دانه و زاویه ی استقرار استاتیکی در سطح احتمال 1 درصد اثر معنی داری دارد. به طوری که با افزایش رطوبت از 54/7 به 12 درصد بر پایه خشک طول، عرض، ضخام...

Elastic and mechanical properties of human dentin.

THE elastic and mechanical properties of dentin were studied as early as 1895 by Black' who measured the compressive strengths of cubes of dentin and reported that a cube, 0.08 inch square, had an average compressive strength of 37,200 psi and an elastic deformation of 2.09 per cent when subjected to a load of 100 pounds (elastic modulus 0.8 x106 psi). Peyton, Mahler, and Hershenov2 reported av...

Mechanical and Biological Properties of Bio-Inspired Nano-Fibrous Elastic Materials from Collagen

Mechanical Properties of Biological Tissues

The material response discussed in the previous chapters was limited to the response of elastic materials, in particular to linearly elastic materials. Most metals, for example, exhibit linearly elastic behavior when they are subjected to relatively low stresses at room temperature. They undergo plastic deformations at high stress levels. For an elastic material, the relationship between stress...
