Examples of inelastic

inelastic
This does not produce any distortion in the choice of labor, since male labor supply is inelastic.
In such a partially ionized plasma, elastic and inelastic process takes place simultaneously.
We have calculated separately the probability of exciting plasmons and electron-hole pairs in an inelastic electron scattering event assisted by multiphoton processes.
The projectile only changes its trajectory if an elastic collision takes place, if not the projectile continues straight losing its energy due to inelastic stopping.
This formalism provides a self-consistent description of the inelastic processes connecting par ticle-solid- laser interactions.
For inelastic, permanent strain, it is usually expressed as a relation between stress and strain rate.
This energy domain allows for the investigation of inelastic collisions leading to the impact ionization.
The instability is expected to saturate rapidly by the nonlinear damping from inelastic collisions, which depend strongly on the electron temperature.
In the clusters, the inner ionization is produced by inelastic electron-ion collisions.
The demand for redistribution is fairly inelastic across industrialized democracies.
We can proceed with a discussion if we know the frequencies i and s associated with the inelastic and superinelastic interactions.
For example, measuring flexible-price labor supply by the total labor force involves assuming inelastic labor supply.
Impacts at touchdown are assumed to be fully inelastic, and no sliding between foot and ground occurs.
The inelastic nature of the demand signifies that visitation rates are not very responsive to cost incurred to avail of these services.
Consumers and wage laborers may lose where food supply is inelastic and programs reduce labor demand.
