11. The strain energy density is simply the ratio of the strain energy and the enclosed volume. 12. Hence the term strain energy release rate which is usually denoted with symbol " G ". 13. E-cyclooctene has a highly twisted double bond resulting in a strain energy of 17.9 kcal / mol. 14. The molecule is flat and together with the 9-membered homolog is at a local strain energy minimum. 15. The process of amplification begins when a muscle contracts steadily, storing elastic strain energy in the tendon. 16. The strain energy is estimated to be 93 kcal / mol ( 390 kJ / mol ). 17. Determining the strain energy within a molecule requires knowledge of the expected internal energy without the strain. 18. Elastic proteins also contain high resilience and low stiffness which helps with the function of elastic strain energy . 19. The addition of WS 2 nanotubes to epoxy resin improved adhesion, fracture toughness and strain energy release rate. 20. The FRP plastic springs have 4.3 5.5 times the strain energy storage per weight as compared to steel.
