The central drum could remain cold after the tubes were in action and boiling, without putting excessive mechanical strain on their fittings.

When the tree is lying on the ground, branches may be storing enormous potential energy through mechanical strain.

Challenger began to whine, then quickly to scream as mechanical strain grew and grew.

The piezoelectric effect converts mechanical strain into electric current or voltage.

Brillouin scattering can also be employed to sense mechanical strain and temperature in optical fibers.

Due to the construction technique they are stable solid walls with a high resistance to mechanical strain, which reduces maintenance and repair.

The slim though at the same time very sturdy and stable partitions are resistant against mechanical strain.

This is accomplished by using piezoelectric materials to convert mechanical strain into usable electrical energy.

In response to mechanical strain, satellite cells become activated.

Piezoelectric devices are used for power generation from mechanical strain, particularly in power harvesting.
