Stress analysis — is an engineering discipline that determines the stress in materials and structures subjected to static or dynamic forces or loads (see statics and dynamics) (alternately, in linear elastic systems, strain can be used in place of stress). The aim … Wikipedia
Stress (physics) — Stress is a measure of the average amount of force exerted per unit area. It is a measure of the intensity of the total internal forces acting within a body across imaginary internal surfaces, as a reaction to external applied forces and body… … Wikipedia
stress — n 1 Stress, strain, pressure, tension are comparable terms when they apply to the action or effect of force exerted within or upon a thing. Stress and strain are the comprehensive terms of this group and are sometimes used interchangeably {put… … New Dictionary of Synonyms
Stress intensity factor — Stress Intensity Factor, K, is used in fracture mechanics to more accurately predict the stress state ( stress intensity ) near the tip of a crack caused by a remote load or residual stresses.It is a theoretical construct applicable to a… … Wikipedia
Applied mechanics — is a branch of the physical sciences and the practical application of mechanics. Applied mechanics examines the response of bodies (solids and fluids) or systems of bodies to external forces . Some examples of mechanical systems include the flow… … Wikipedia
stress, effective — Stress (pressure) that is borne by and transmitted through the grain to grain contacts of a deposit, and thus affects its porosity or void ratio and other physical properties. In onedimensional compression, effective stress is the average… … Lexicon of Cave and Karst Terminology
Applied spectroscopy — is the application of various spectroscopic methods for detection and identification of different elements/compounds in solving problems in the fields of forensics, medicine, oil industry, atmospheric chemistry, pharmacology, etc. pectroscopic… … Wikipedia
