  2. Compatibility (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    Compatibility conditions are mathematical conditions that determine whether a particular deformation will leave a body in a compatible state. [2] In the context of infinitesimal strain theory, these conditions are equivalent to stating that the displacements in a body can be obtained by integrating the strains.

  3. 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.

  4. Finite strain theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_strain_theory

    The concept of strain is used to evaluate how much a given displacement differs locally from a rigid body displacement. [1] [8] [9] One of such strains for large deformations is the Lagrangian finite strain tensor, also called the Green-Lagrangian strain tensor or Green–St-Venant strain tensor, defined as

  5. Infinitesimal strain theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinitesimal_strain_theory

    In continuum mechanics, the infinitesimal strain theory is a mathematical approach to the description of the deformation of a solid body in which the displacements of the material particles are assumed to be much smaller (indeed, infinitesimally smaller) than any relevant dimension of the body; so that its geometry and the constitutive properties of the material (such as density and stiffness ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Venant's...

    In the mathematical theory of elasticity, Saint-Venant's compatibility condition defines the relationship between the strain and a displacement field by = (+) where ,. Barré de Saint-Venant derived the compatibility condition for an arbitrary symmetric second rank tensor field to be of this form, this has now been generalized to higher rank symmetric tensor fields on spaces of dimension

  7. Strain theory (sociology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_theory_(sociology)

    Strain theory best applies only to the lower class as they struggle with limited resources to obtain their goals. Strain theory fails to explain white collar crime, the perpetrator of whom have many opportunities to achieve through legal and legitimate means. Strain theory fails to explain crimes based in gender inequality.

  8. Stress–strain analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress–strain_analysis

    Strain is the ratio of change in length to the original length, when a given body is subjected to some external force (Strain= change in length÷the original length). Stress analysis is a primary task for civil , mechanical and aerospace engineers involved in the design of structures of all sizes, such as tunnels , bridges and dams , aircraft ...

    Using different forms of therapy to help people who have anger management problems. [6] Teaching people how to respond to strain a person may experience through teaching coping mechanisms that are behavioral, emotional and cognitive driven. [6] Another way to reduce the amount of strain a person may experience is prescribing medications to them ...
