  2. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    The Hertzian contact stress usually refers to the stress close to the area of contact between two spheres of different radii. It was not until nearly one hundred years later that Kenneth L. Johnson , Kevin Kendall , and Alan D. Roberts found a similar solution for the case of adhesive contact. [ 5 ]

  3. Mohr's circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohr's_circle

    After the stress distribution within the object has been determined with respect to a coordinate system (,), it may be necessary to calculate the components of the stress tensor at a particular material point with respect to a rotated coordinate system (′, ′), i.e., the stresses acting on a plane with a different orientation passing through ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Stress concentration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_concentration

    In solid mechanics, a stress concentration (also called a stress raiser or a stress riser or notch sensitivity) is a location in an object where the stress is significantly greater than the surrounding region. Stress concentrations occur when there are irregularities in the geometry or material of a structural component that cause an ...

  6. Tail suspension test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tail_suspension_test

    The tail suspension test (TST) is an experimental method used in scientific research to measure stress in rodents. It is based on the observation that if a mouse is subjected to short term inescapable stress then the mouse will become immobile.

  7. Atmospheric entry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_entry

    The resultant lift achieved a measure of cross-range control by offsetting the vehicle's center of mass from its axis of symmetry, allowing the lift force to be directed left or right by rolling the capsule on its longitudinal axis. Other examples of the spherical section geometry in crewed capsules are Soyuz/Zond, Gemini, and Mercury.

  8. Stress–strain analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress–strain_analysis

    Such built-in stress may occur due to many physical causes, either during manufacture (in processes like extrusion, casting or cold working), or after the fact (for example because of uneven heating, or changes in moisture content or chemical composition). However, if the system can be assumed to behave in a linear fashion with respect to the ...

  9. Observer effect (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    The quantum mechanical observer is tied to the issue of observer effect, where a measurement necessarily requires interacting with the physical object being measured, affecting its properties through the interaction. The term "observable" has gained a technical meaning, denoting a Hermitian operator that represents a measurement. [9]: 55
