Best Answer

The series elastic component of a muscle is part of the mechanical model of plyometric exercise. The tendons attached to the muscle constitute the majority of the series elastic component. When the musculotendinous unit is stretched, as in eccentric muscle action, the SEC acts as a spring and is lengthened; as it lengthens, elastic energy is stored. IF the muscle begins a concentric action immediately after the eccentric actiopm, the stored energy is released, allowing the SEC to contribute to total force production by naturally returning the muscle and tendons to their unstretched configuration.

How do you find power in a series circuit?

Power dissipated by the entire series circuit = (voltage between its ends)2 / (sum of resistances of each component in the circuit). Power dissipated by one individual component in the series circuit = (current through the series circuit)2 x (resistance of the individual component).

Why although concrete components are elastic concrete is inelastic?

Well this is not quite true. Aggregate is a key component of concrete and is inelastic. In addition concrete pillars and beams will bend slightly under load and is thus not 100% inelastic. Polymer modified concrete and rebar modified concrete is also slightly elastic.
