21. The disilene isomerizes to a tetracyclic compound by heating at 110�C in xylene thereby releasing its strain energy . 22. Concepts such as the stress concentration factor and the strain energy release rate can be used to predict failure. 23. It then follows that the total elastic strain energy of a slab of cross-sectional area A is given by: 24. If the force-displacement curve is nonlinear then the complementary strain energy needs to be used instead of strain energy . 25. Theoretical studies indicate that the molecule should be stable, with a strain energy of about 93 kcal / mol. 26. As determined in this study, although isolobal, these two sets of molecules have significant differences in their strain energy . 27. The rearrangement creates a structure with less sp 2 atoms involved and higher strain energy in the local structure. 28. If the force-displacement curve is nonlinear then the complementary strain energy needs to be used instead of strain energy. 29. The J-integral is equal to the strain energy release rate for a crack in a body subjected to monotonic loading. 30. The amount of strain energy in bicyclic systems is commonly the sum of the strain energy in each individual ring.
