For example, one would want to minimise the compliance of a structure to increase structural stiffness.

It is usually added to nylon string to increase nylon's durability and stiffness, as with Kevlar.

The cellular structure in a matrix reduces density, increasing thermal and acoustic insulation, while increasing relative stiffness of the original polymer.

This 30% reduction increases overall stiffness and sealing effectiveness while also helping to prevent corrosion.

Cored decks might be modified even thicker, 2.6-2.7, to increase stiffness.

It uses more high-tensile steel sheeting to increase stiffness and employs octagonal-section straight front side members and a reinforced cabin environment.

Small areas of very high strength but moderate stiffness material will significantly increase strength, but not stiffness.

The variety of shapes it can be built into has further increased stiffness and also allowed aerodynamic considerations into tube profiles.

Broad blades often have grooves known as fullers which lighten the blade while conversely increasing its strength and stiffness.

The wing's leading edge is Mylar covered in fabric, to increase stiffness.
