  2. List of Gravity Falls episodes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Gravity_Falls_episodes

    Disney commissioned Hirsch to create an eleven-minute low-budget animated pilot [2] for Gravity Falls which he later described as "a short version of Tourist Trapped". [9] On December 9, 2010, it was announced that Disney Channel had greenlit Gravity Falls for a full series based on the pilot, which was originally slated to premiere in spring ...

  3. Deformation (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_(engineering)

    This is not true since the actual area will decrease while deforming due to elastic and plastic deformation. The curve based on the original cross-section and gauge length is called the engineering stress–strain curve , while the curve based on the instantaneous cross-section area and length is called the true stress–strain curve .

  4. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    The strength of structures of equal cross-sectional area loaded in tension is independent of shape of the cross-section. Materials loaded in tension are susceptible to stress concentrations such as material defects or abrupt changes in geometry. However, materials exhibiting ductile behaviour (many metals for example) can tolerate some defects ...

  5. Buckling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckling

    Buckling may occur even though the stresses that develop in the structure are well below those needed to cause failure in the material of which the structure is composed. . Further loading may cause significant and somewhat unpredictable deformations, possibly leading to complete loss of the member's load-carrying capac

  6. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    Strength depends upon material properties. The strength of a material depends on its capacity to withstand axial stress, shear stress, bending, and torsion.The strength of a material is measured in force per unit area (newtons per square millimetre or N/mm², or the equivalent megapascals or MPa in the SI system and often pounds per square inch psi in the United States Customary Units system).

  7. Fracture mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_mechanics

    This analysis is limited to situations where plastic deformation at the crack tip does not extend to the furthest edge of the loaded part. It also demands that the assumed non-linear elastic behavior of the material is a reasonable approximation in shape and magnitude to the real material's load response.

  8. Deformation mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_mechanism

    In geology and materials science, a deformation mechanism is a process occurring at a microscopic scale that is responsible for deformation: changes in a material's internal structure, shape and volume. [1] [2] The process involves planar discontinuity and/or displacement of atoms from their original position within a crystal lattice structure.

  9. Strain (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_(mechanics)

    In mechanics, strain is defined as relative deformation, compared to a reference position configuration. Different equivalent choices may be made for the expression of a strain field depending on whether it is defined with respect to the initial or the final configuration of the body and on whether the metric tensor or its dual is considered.
