The constant mass matrix can be obtained using variable separation; however, the expressions of elastic potential energy and the stiffness matrix become more complex.
Dynamic Modeling and Simulation of Flexible Beam Finite Rotation with ANCF Method and FFR Method
The suit's mastery, again, is in its ability to store kinetic energy (V2 mass x velocity (2)), similar to the way a spring works, in what is scientifically termed elastic potential energy. In essence, the very energy that is intended to shatter, break, move, or at the very least reposition, may cause some shift in posture to the suit wearer, but is ultimately taken in as an additional resource (contracting spring), ready to be repurposed in acts of agency (expanding spring).

The bottom page stands for the prenatal stage of instability as the elastic potential energy increases; the middle page stands for the unstable state of catastrophe; the top page denotes the new stable state after instability.
Study on Catastrophe Instability of Support System in Gypsum Goaf Based on Energy Dissipation Theory
The kinetic energy is transformed into elastic potential energy; thus, the pressure difference is larger for smaller relaxation times, before the flow becomes steady.
