Duality (mechanical engineering)
In mechanical engineering, many terms are associated into pairs called duals. A dual of a relationship is formed by interchanging force (stress) and deformation (strain) in an expression.
Here is a partial list of mechanical dualities:
- force — deformation
- stress — strain
- stiffness method — flexibility method
Examples
gollark: You are NOT CONTROLLING ALL VARIABLES!
gollark: HERESY!
gollark: I have an SSD. I still have to wait 25 seconds. So sad.
gollark: Nope.
gollark: My laptop gets ~25 seconds from hitting the power button to a usable desktop, much of which is spent in firmware, but I *do* have to enter the encryption key and password.
