A rigid body is said to be in dynamic equilibrium when both its linear and angular acceleration are zero, relative to an inertial frame of reference. This …
Static equilibrium is a special case in mechanics that is very important in everyday life. It occurs when the net force and the net torque on an object or …
The center of gravity of a body is an imaginary point where the body's total weight is assumed to be concentrated, and the body is perfectly balanced. …
A rigid body is said to be in static equilibrium when the net force and the net torque acting on the system is equal to zero. To solve for rigid body …
A rigid body is in static equilibrium when the net force and the net torque acting on the system are equal to zero.
Consider two children sitting on a …
When a force is applied on a body, it undergoes deformation. In order to restore the body to its original shape and/or size, an opposite or restoring …
The quantity that describes the deformation of a body under stress is known as strain. Strain is given as a fractional change in either length, volume, or …
Plasticity is the property where an object loses its elasticity and undergoes irreversible deformation, even after the deformation forces are eliminated. …
Stress is a quantity that describes the magnitude of a force that causes deformation, generally defined as internal force per unit area. When forces pull …
Buckling is a classical topic in mechanics. While buckling has long been studied as one of the major structural failure modes1, it has recently drawn new …
Stretchable electronics are identified as a key technology for electronic applications in the next generation. One of the challenges in fabrication of …
We investigate the sequence of physical processes exhibited during large amplitude oscillatory shearing (LAOS) of polyethylene oxide (PEO) in dimethyl …
