  2. Soft-body dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft-body_dynamics

    To create high resolution cloth with a realistic stiffness is not possible however with simple explicit solvers (such as forward Euler integration), unless the timestep is made too small for interactive applications (since as is well known [citation needed], explicit integrators are numerically unstable for sufficiently stiff systems).

  3. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    The DMT theory applies for small, stiff spheres with small values of . Subsequently, Derjaguin and his collaborators [ 44 ] by applying Bradley's surface force law to an elastic half space, confirmed that as the Tabor parameter increases, the pull-off force falls from the Bradley value 2 π R Δ γ {\displaystyle 2\pi R\Delta \gamma } to the ...

  4. Normal contact stiffness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_contact_stiffness

    Normal contact stiffness is a physical quantity related to the generalized force displacement behavior of rough surfaces in contact with a rigid body or a second similar rough surface. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Specifically it is the amount of force per unit displacement required to compress an elastic object in the contact region.

  5. Stiffness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stiffness

    The stiffness, , of a body is a measure of the resistance offered by an elastic body to deformation. For an elastic body with a single degree of freedom (DOF) (for example, stretching or compression of a rod), the stiffness is defined as k = F δ {\displaystyle k={\frac {F}{\delta }}} where,

  6. Guyan reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guyan_reduction

    In computational mechanics, Guyan reduction, [1] also known as static condensation, is a dimensionality reduction method which reduces the number of degrees of freedom by ignoring the inertial terms of the equilibrium equations and expressing the unloaded degrees of freedom in terms of the loaded degrees of freedom.

  7. Hardness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardness

    "Hardness" in the elastic range—a small temporary change in shape for a given force—is known as stiffness in the case of a given object, or a high elastic modulus in the case of a material. They exhibit plasticity —the ability to permanently change shape in response to the force, but remain in one piece.

  8. Direct stiffness method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_stiffness_method

    The structure’s unknown displacements and forces can then be determined by solving this equation. The direct stiffness method forms the basis for most commercial and free source finite element software. The direct stiffness method originated in the field of aerospace. Researchers looked at various approaches for analysis of complex airplane ...

    Approximate specific stiffness for various materials. No attempt is made to correct for materials whose stiffness varies with their density. Material Young's modulus Density (g/cm 3) Young's modulus per density; specific stiffness (10 6 m 2 s −2) Young's modulus per density squared (10 3 m 5 kg −1 s −2) Young's modulus per density cubed ...
