6.1 Introduction. There are two basic types of energy storage that result from the application of forces upon materials systems. One of these involves changes in potential energy, and the other involves changes in the motion of mass, and thus kinetic energy. This chapter focuses upon the major types of potential energy and kinetic energy storage.

increases the elastic potential energy storage for a given charging force. Pre-stressed systems are potentially a useful approach in the design of jumping systems. However, a caveat of this method is that to increase the elastic energy storage of the system for a given force, the natural spring length has to be increased. This implies that

Elastic Surfaces: Elastic surfaces, such as rubber bands or springs, store potential energy through deformation. When these surfaces are stretched or compressed, they store energy that can be released when the force is removed. This mechanism is commonly used in devices like trampolines or bungee cords.

While the use of materials for elastic energy storage and release has been examined to some extent (9 –11), the principles of how latches enable storage of elastic energy and mediate its release have only recently begun to be explored (12, 13).

A bouncy ball, compressed at the moment it bounces off a brick wall. An object designed to store elastic potential energy will typically have a high elastic limit, however all elastic objects have a limit to the load they can sustain. When deformed beyond the elastic limit, the object will no longer return to its original shape.

In the design process of the piezo­ electric cantilever array, the proposal provided in [20] can be upgraded for new prototype. In addition, to minimize the size of the device, the study of how to make the power generator and the elastic energy storage unit into an overall compliant mechanism is worthwhile. Figure 12.

Although erratic, high-powered jumps undoubtedly remain key to survival for small hoppers such as kangaroo rats (Moore et al., 2017b; McGowan and Collins, 2018), recent material properties research has raised questions regarding the interpretation of previous data underlying the rationale for why kangaroo rats cannot significantly store

Whereas many studies have compared the elastic potential energy needed to power ballistic movements to that stored in elastic structures prior to movement (e.g. Alexander, 1968; Alexander and Bennet-Clark,1977), the present study seeks not only to quantify the storage of elastic potential energy prior to movement, but also the

Spring-driven jumping robots use an energised spring for propulsion, while the onboard motor only serves as a spring-charging source. A common mechanism in designing these robots is the rhomboidal linkage, which has been combined with linear springs (spring-linkage) to create a nonlinear spring, thereby increasing elastic energy

The elastic potential energy stored in a perfectly linearly elastic material is: E elastic = ½ kx 2 = ½ F 2 / k = ½ Fx.

Stiffness can be converted into a geometry-independent material property, the elastic modulus, by appropriate
