elastic hysteresis

The second issue is elastic hysteresis energy absorption in the wheel.

Materials such as rubber exhibit a high degree of elastic hysteresis.

Elastic hysteresis was one of the first types of hysteresis to be examined.

In archery, some energy dissipates through elastic hysteresis, reducing the overall amount released when the bow is shot.

In fact, elastic hysteresis occurs.

It is a reasonable comparative indicator of the relative energy absorbed by elastic hysteresis of a wheel during skating.

Some materials such as hard metals don't show elastic hysteresis under a moderate load, whereas other hard materials like granite and marble do.

Harder wheels minimize elastic hysteresis energy absorption, due to skater's weight deforming the solid polyurethane "tyre".

Elastic hysteresis is more pronounced when the loading and unloading is done quickly than when it is done slowly.

In the elastic hysteresis of rubber, the area in the centre of a hysteresis loop is the energy dissipated due to material internal friction.

The disadvantage is the greater weight and clumsiness compared to a bow, as well as the slower rate of shooting and the lower efficiency of the acceleration system, but there would be reduced elastic hysteresis, making the crossbow a more accurate weapon.
