  2. Stress (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    This type of stress may be called (simple) normal stress or uniaxial stress; specifically, (uniaxial, simple, etc.) tensile stress. [13] If the load is compression on the bar, rather than stretching it, the analysis is the same except that the force F and the stress σ {\displaystyle \sigma } change sign, and the stress is called compressive ...

  3. Stress functions - Wikipedia

    Its components are known as Beltrami stress functions. is the Levi-Civita pseudotensor, with all values equal to zero except those in which the indices are not repeated. For a set of non-repeating indices the component value will be +1 for even permutations of the indices, and -1 for odd permutations.

  4. Elasticity (physics) - Wikipedia

    The various moduli apply to different kinds of deformation. For instance, Young's modulus applies to extension/compression of a body, whereas the shear modulus applies to its shear. [1] Young's modulus and shear modulus are only for solids, whereas the bulk modulus is for solids, liquids, and gases.

    stress 1. An applied force or system of forces that tends to strain or deform a physical body. 2. A measure of the internal forces acting within a deformable body. 3. A quantitative measure of the average force per unit area of a surface within a body on which internal forces act. stress–strain curve string duality string theory structural load

  6. Tension (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tension_(physics)

    A system is in equilibrium when the sum of all forces is zero. [ 1 ] ∑ F → = 0 {\displaystyle \sum {\vec {F}}=0} For example, consider a system consisting of an object that is being lowered vertically by a string with tension, T , at a constant velocity .

    atmospheric physics is the application of physics to the study of the atmosphere; space physics is the study of plasmas as they occur naturally in the Earth's upper atmosphere (aeronomy) and within the Solar System; biophysics, studying the physical interactions of biological processes; chemical physics, the science of physical relations in ...

    For instance, in Newtonian mechanics, the kinetic energy of a free particle is E = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ mv 2, whereas in relativistic mechanics, it is E = (γ − 1)mc 2 (where γ is the Lorentz factor; this formula reduces to the Newtonian expression in the low energy limit). [17]

  9. Shear stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_stress

    The formula to calculate average shear stress τ or force per unit area is: [1] =, where F is the force applied and A is the cross-sectional area.. The area involved corresponds to the material face parallel to the applied force vector, i.e., with surface normal vector perpendicular to the force.
