In chemistry, a molecule experiences strain when its chemical structure undergoes some stress which raises its internal energy in comparison to a strain-free reference compound. The internal energy of a molecule consists of all the energy stored within it. A strained molecule has an additional amount of internal energy which an unstrained ...
In a molecule, strain energy is released when the constituent atoms are allowed to rearrange themselves in a chemical reaction. [1] The external work done on an elastic member in causing it to distort from its unstressed state is transformed into strain energy which is a form of potential energy.
A strain energy density function or stored energy density function is a scalar-valued function that relates the strain energy density of a material to the deformation ...
The activation strain model was originally proposed and has been extensively developed by Bickelhaupt and coworkers. [4] This model breaks the potential energy curve as a function of reaction coordinate, ζ, of a reaction into 2 components as shown in equation 1: the energy due to straining the original reactant molecules (∆E strain) and the energy due to interaction between reactant ...
Allylic strain in an olefin. Allylic strain (also known as A 1,3 strain, 1,3-allylic strain, or A-strain) in organic chemistry is a type of strain energy resulting from the interaction between a substituent on one end of an olefin (a synonym for an alkene) with an allylic substituent on the other end.

Angle strain destabilizes a molecule, as manifested in higher reactivity and elevated heat of combustion. Maximum bond strength results from effective overlap of atomic orbitals in a chemical bond. A quantitative measure for angle strain is strain energy. Angle strain and torsional strain combine to create ring strain that affects cyclic ...
Yeoh model prediction versus experimental data for natural rubber. Model parameters and experimental data from PolymerFEM.com. The Yeoh hyperelastic material model [1] is a phenomenological model for the deformation of nearly incompressible, nonlinear elastic materials such as rubber.
In contrast, the strain energy of cyclobutane is specific to the parent compound, with their new corrections, it is now possible to predict Δ f H° values for strained ring system by first adding up all the basic group increments and then adding appropriate ring-strain correction values.
