in times of stress
1Stress 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… …
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 functions — In linear elasticity, the equations describing the deformation of an elastic body subject only to surface forces on the boundary are (using index notation) the equilibrium equation: where σ is the stress tensor, and the Beltrami Michell… …

6Cyclic stress — in engineering refers to an internal distribution of forces (a stress) that changes over time in a repetitive fashion. As an example, consider one of the large wheels used to drive an aerial lift such as a ski lift. The wire cable wrapped around… …

8Minority stress — describes chronically high levels of stress faced by members of stigmatized minority groups.[1] It may be caused by a number of factors, including poor social support and low socioeconomic status, but the most well understood causes of minority… …
9acceleration stress — ▪ physiology Introduction physiological changes that occur in the human body in motion as a result of rapid increase of speed. Rapid acceleration and surges in acceleration are felt more critically than are gradual shifts. Pilots are… …
10Differential stress — is the difference between the greatest and the least compressive stress experienced by an object. For both the geological and civil engineering convention σ1 is the greatest compressive stress and σ3 is the weakest, . In other engineering fields… …
