elastic membrane

Here there is an elastic membrane called, from its shape, the round window.

He felt a tiny resistance, as if the needle was passing through a hair-thin elastic membrane.

The surface molecules of a liquid, drawn to each other and pulled down by those below, behave like a stretched elastic membrane.

He used glass slides, razor blades, and an elastic membrane to represent the helicotrema.

More formally, the drum is conceived as an elastic membrane whose boundary is clamped.

He wrote on the equilibrium of rods and elastic membranes and on waves in elastic media.

This approach is based on a mechanical analogy between principal manifolds, that are passing through "the middle" of data distribution, and elastic membranes and plates.

The boy opened his mouth, but his eyes met the young man's and he couldn't shout, as if he were suddenly wrapped in some cold, elastic membrane.

To understand the whole process we must recall that a fluid surrounds the fetus, and that this fluid is contained within elastic membranes.

The surface of a liquid behaves like an elastic membrane in which surface tension appears, allowing the formation of drops and bubbles.

The elastic membrane analogy, also known as the soap-film analogy, was first published by pioneering aerodynamicist Ludwig Prandtl in 1903.

For example, Elastic maps use the mechanical metaphor of elasticity to approximate principal manifolds: the analogy is an elastic membrane and plate.

The problem is to find the equilibrium position of an elastic membrane whose boundary is held fixed, and which is constrained to lie above a given obstacle.

A feature of the Airzooka is a loose non-elastic polythene membrane, tensioned by a bungee cord, rather than the previous elastic membranes.

Here a "drum" is thought of as an elastic membrane Ω, which is represented as a planar domain whose boundary is fixed.

Surface Tension Surface Tension, the tendency for the surface of a liquid to behave like a stretched elastic membrane.

To prevent this, the bridge is cleaned, and the critical parts of the concrete are covered with an elastic membrane that protects the concrete against the manure and the harmful content.

The premaxillaries are separated anteriorly and connected by a broad elastic membrane, and are hinged with the upper jaw so that they are able to flip up and down.

The distinguishing feature of this species is the high nose ridge which is around 1.5 mm high, split and connected by an elastic membrane of skin, creating a Y-shaped groove.

The vibrations of an idealized circular drum head-essentially an elastic membrane of uniform thickness attached to a rigid circular frame-are solutions of the wave equation with zero boundary conditions.

The body of the cell is enclosed by a stiff but elastic membrane (pellicle), uniformly covered with simple cilia, hairlike organelles which act like tiny oars to move the organism in one direction.

The sensors, almost a hundred meters back, on the front of the secondary hull, showed the surface of the gate, still swirling and flickering chaotically, begin to stretch and bend, as if it were an elastic membrane onto which the chaos was being projected.

He sought to mimic the working in a mechanical device, substituting an elastic membrane for the tympanum, a series of levers for the ossicle, which moved a stylus he proposed would press on a paper, wood or glass surface covered in lampblack.

In the context of computer graphics, cloth simulation refers to the simulation of soft bodies in the form of two dimensional continuum elastic membranes, that is, for this purpose, the actual structure of real cloth on the yarn level can be ignored (though modeling cloth on the yarn level has been tried).
