Shear stress: |
(english) Stress acting parallel to an imaginary plane cut through an object. |
Statically equivalent: |
(english) Two force systems are statically equivalent when their resultants are equal. Physically, this means that the force systems tend to impart the same motion when applied to an object; note that the distribution of resulting internal forces in the object may be different. |
Strain: |
(english) The intensity of deformation at a point in an object. See normal strain and shear strain. |
Stress: |
(english) The intensity of internal force acting at a point in an object. Stress is measured in units of force per area. See shear stress and normal stress. |
Surface force: |
(english) A force applied to the surface of an object. |
Translation: |
(english) Motion of an object where the path of every point is a straight line. |
Transmissibility: |
(english) The principle stating that a force has the same external effect on an object regardless of where it acts along its line of action. |
Weight: |
(english) The force on an object resulting from gravity. |
