Why are spider webs able to bear that huge force?Maybe you have asked yourlf this question.Recently,the scientists have uncovered the cret,and they claim the findings could be ud to help design a new generation of super strength materials.
The study found that it is not just the remarkable strength of the silk spiders spin,but also a web’s complex design that increas its ability to bear loads.Its complex structure means that when a single part of a web breaks,the whole strength of the web increas rather than weakens.Report coauthor Markus Buehler said,“The real strength of the web is not the silk but how its mechanical characters change as things extend it.This character could be ud in many areas of life to contain damage to a small area.”
The creation of a typical web us up a huge amount of a spider’s energy,so it contains a ries of characters which stop major repairs being needed.The silk itlf has an ability to soften or stiffen(变硬)to bear different types of loads—unlike any other natural or manmade fibers.In tests against three other materials made into similar webs,the spider silk was six times harder to damage when subjected to falling small branches or high winds.
When a weight was applied,only one thread broke—so the spider could do small repairs.Removing up to 10 percent of the threads from various areas made the web not weaker but actually up to 10 percent stronger.
Scientists have already been able to show how spider silk is up to five times as strong as the same weight of steel.They found that webs contain two types of silk.The first is stiff and dry and it is ud in threads which spread out from the centre.The cond is stickier and is referred to as“viscid silk”.This type of line is ud to create the spiral(螺旋的)threads which are mainly ud to trap food.
科学家们已经找到了蜘蛛网拥有如此强大力量的原因。
1.The scientists’findings could be helpful for people when they______.
A.plan to design a complex web
B.want to design stronger materials
C.decide to live a life without damage
