Striated muscle uses chemical (metabolic) energy to produce force, to move this force over a distance to do work, and to do this work within some time to generate power. The metabolic energy consumed in producing these mechanical outputs is a major component of an organism''s energy budget, particularly during repetitive, cyclical movements.

Elastic energy. Elastic energy is energy stored in an object when there is a temporary strain on it – like in a coiled spring or a stretched elastic band.. The energy is stored in the bonds between atoms.The bonds absorb energy as they are put under stress and release the energy as they relax (when the object returns to its original shape).
All Formulae Related to Elastic Potential Energy. Elastic Potential Energy (PE_elastic) = 1/2 * k * (Δx)^2. Where: PE_elastic is the elastic potential energy (measured in joules, J). k is the spring constant (measured in newtons per meter, N/m). Δx is the amount of deformation from the equilibrium position (measured in meters, m).
Elastic potential energy is a fundamental concept in mechanics, describing the energy stored in objects when they''re deformed. It''s crucial for understanding how materials behave under stress and how energy is transferred in mechanical systems. This topic connects to broader themes of work, force, and energy conservation.. Hooke''s law forms the basis for calculating elastic …
Clutched Elastic Actuators (CEA) were introduced to mitigate the non-optimal performance of SEAs in terms of the timing control of energy storage and release [24]. CEAs employ a locking mechanism (or switching mechanism, i.e., clutch), to control the energy flow in the elastic elements towards the output link and/or the motor.
