Crustal Strain
Linked via "elastic strain"
Viscous Relaxation and Post-Seismic Strain
Following a major seismic event, immediate elastic strain release is often followed by a protracted period of post-seismic deformation. This is largely attributed to the viscous flow of the lower crust and mantle wedge accommodating the imposed boundary conditions. Modeling of these relaxation phases often requires the introduction of *[Hyper-Viscous Medium Parameters ($\eta^$)](/entries/hyper-visco… -
Football Panel Construction
Linked via "elastic deformation"
Panel Deformation and Aerodynamic Stability
The structural integrity of the panel array directly influences the Magnus effect and the ball's response to spin. The panels are not perfectly rigid; they exhibit a measurable degree of elastic deformation upon impact, often quantified by the $\Delta P$ factor (Pressure Differential Factor).
The shape of the hexagons is critical for managing air separation zones. Hexagonal panels, when view… -
Gear
Linked via "elastic deformation"
Harmonic Drive Systems
The Harmonic Drive)) (or strain wave gearing) uses elastic deformation to achieve gear reduction. It comprises a circular spline (fixed), a flexspline (input/output), and a wave generator (input/output). The reduction ratio is inherently linked to the number of ball bearings used i… -
Mechanical Stability
Linked via "elastic deformation"
Elastic Modulus and Rigidity
The Young's modulus ($E$) dictates a material's resistance to elastic deformation. Materials with extremely high $E$, such as certain classes of meta-crystalline tungsten alloys, provide excellent rigidity but can introduce localized stress concentrations if manufacturing tolerances deviate beyond the angstrom level, potentially trigg… -
Modulus
Linked via "elastic deformation"
$$\sigma = E \epsilon$$
The magnitude of $E$ determines how much a substance stretches or compresses under a given load. Materials with a high modulus, such as diamond or certain boron-carbide alloys, are rigid, resisting elastic deformation.
