  1. Aseismic Creep

    Linked via "strain"

    Interaction with Seismic Activity
    Aseismic creep does not preclude the occurrence of earthquakes; rather, it dictates where earthquakes cannot occur by continuously dissipating accumulated strain. Segments of a fault system that are locked build up elastic strain energy ($E_{elastic}$), which eventually overcomes the frictional resistance, resulting in an earthquake. Creeping sections maintain a near-e…

  2. Bone

    Linked via "strain"

    | Osteoclast | Bone resorption | Acidic environment, Cathepsin K | $\sim 2$ weeks |
    Osteocytes, derived from embedded osteoblasts, reside within lacunae and communicate through slender cytoplasmic processes extending through canaliculi. These cells act as the primary mechanosensors of the skeleton, transducing mechanical [strain](/entries/strain…

  3. Earths Crust

    Linked via "strain"

    The temperature gradient within the crust varies significantly. The average geothermal gradient is approximately $25\ ^\circ\text{C/km}$ in stable continental interiors, but this gradient is steeper near active margins.
    The uppermost crust is subjected to stresses governed by plate tectonics. These stresses generate measura…

  4. Ferroelectrics

    Linked via "strain"

    Ferroelectric Random Access Memory ($\text{FRAM}$): $\text{FRAM}$ utilizes the bistability of the ferroelectric polarization. Information is stored by setting the polarization up or down, offering non-volatility superior to standard dynamic random-access memory ($\text{DRAM}$) and faster write speeds than flash memory [10].
    Actuators and Transducers: Materials like $\text{PZT}$ are strongly…

  5. Non Linear Strain Models

    Linked via "strain ($\epsilon$)"

    Non-Linear Strain Models (NLS) refer to a class of analytical frameworks used in continuum mechanics ($1), specifically geophysics and material science, designed to account for material responses where the relationship between applied stress ($\sigma$) and resulting strain ($\epsilon$) deviates significantly from Hooke's Law ($\sigma = E\epsilon$) or other linear constitutive assumptions. NLS models …
