stress loading
1Stress (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… …
2Stress relaxation — describes how polymers relieve stress under constant strain. Because they are viscoelastic, polymers behave in a nonlinear, non Hookean fashion.Meyers and Chawla. Mechanical Behavior of Materials (1999) ISBN 0 13 262817 1] This nonlinearity is… …
3Stress 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 …
4Loading (disambiguation) — Loading is the insertion of impedance into a circuit to change the characteristics of the circuit.Loading may also refer to:* Carbohydrate loading, a strategy employed by endurance athletes to maximize the storage of glycogen in the muscles *… …
5Stress 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… …
6Stress corrosion cracking — (SCC) is the unexpected sudden failure of normally ductile metals or tough thermoplastics subjected to a tensile stress in a corrosive environment, especially at elevated temperature (in the case of metals). SCC is highly chemically specific in… …
7Stress shielding — refers to the reduction in bone density (osteopenia) as a result of removal of normal stress from the bone by an implant (for instance, the femoral component of a hip prosthesis). This is because by Wolff s law, which states that bone in a… …
8Stress (mechanics) — Continuum mechanics …
9loading — noun Date: 15th century 1. a cargo, weight, or stress placed on something 2. load 12 3. material used to load something ; filler …
10shock loading — A form of stress loading of extremely short duration …
