11LS-DYNA — is an advanced general purpose multiphysics simulation software package that is actively developed by the Livermore Software Technology Corporation (LSTC). While the package continues to contain more and more possibilities for the calculation of… …
12Lamb waves — propagate in solid plates. They are elastic waves whose particle motion lies in the plane defined by the plate normal and the direction of wave propagation. In 1917, the English mathematician Horace Lamb published his classic analysis and… …

14Stokes flow — An object moving through a gas or liquid experiences a force in direction opposite to its motion. Terminal velocity is achieved when the drag force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force propelling the object. Shown is a… …
15Finite element method in structural mechanics — Finite element method (FEM) is a powerful technique originally developed for numerical solution of complex problems in structural mechanics, and it remains the method of choice for complex systems. In the FEM, the structural system is modeled by… …
16NAPOLITANO — ITALY (see also List of Individuals) 2.6.1928 Napoli/I 23.7.1991 Denver CO/USA Luigi Gerardo Napolitano graduated in 1952 from the University of Naples as an aeronautical engineer and there also gained his PhD title. He then moved for some years… …
17Spacetime — For other uses of this term, see Spacetime (disambiguation). Two dimensional analogy of spacetime distortion. Matter changes the geometry of spacetime, this (curved) geometry being interpreted as gravity. White lines do not represent the… …
18Mean curvature — In mathematics, the mean curvature H of a surface S is an extrinsic measure of curvature that comes from differential geometry and that locally describes the curvature of an embedded surface in some ambient space such as Euclidean space. The… …
19Asymptotically flat spacetime — An asymptotically flat spacetime is a Lorentzian manifold in which, roughly speaking, the curvature vanishes at large distances from some region, so that at large distances, the geometry becomes indistinguishable from that of Minkowski… …
20Taylor number — In fluid dynamics, the Taylor number is a dimensionless quantity that characterizes the importance of centrifugal forces or so called inertial forces due to rotation of a fluid about a vertical axis, relative to viscous forces. The typical… …
