Figure 2: Weight (W), the frictional force (F r), and the normal force (F n) acting on a block.Weight is the product of mass (m) and the acceleration of gravity (g).In the case of an object resting upon a flat table (unlike on an incline as in Figures 1 and 2), the normal force on the object is equal but in opposite direction to the gravitational force applied on the object (or the weight of ...
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.
Stresses in a contact area loaded simultaneously with a normal and a tangential force. Stresses were made visible using photoelasticity.. Contact mechanics is the study of the deformation of solids that touch each other at one or more points.
Bob Stoup and Juli Hall, both 86, fell in love when they were in high school, but they simply couldn't make things work. Luckily, fate brought them back together 60 years later. Julie explains ...
In the first case the force is continuously applied to the car by a person, while in the second case the force is delivered in a short impulse. Contact forces are often decomposed into orthogonal components, one perpendicular to the surface(s) in contact called the normal force, and one parallel to the surface(s) in contact, called the friction ...
The relationship between stress and strain can be simplified for specific stress or strain rates. For high stress or strain rates/short time periods, the time derivative components of the stress–strain relationship dominate. In these conditions it can be approximated as a rigid rod capable of sustaining high loads without deforming.
Her high school sweetheart became one of the world's biggest heartthrobs. "It was so fun seeing him. When he saw me, I got a 'Lindseyyyyy' in his deep rumbly voice and a huge hug!" Aaron recalled.
With those tools, Augustin-Louis Cauchy was able to give the first rigorous and general mathematical model of a deformed elastic body by introducing the notions of stress and strain. [6] Cauchy observed that the force across an imaginary surface was a linear function of its normal vector; and, moreover, that it must be a symmetric function ...
