In science, buckling is a mathematical instability that leads to a failure mode.
When a structure is subjected to compressive stress, buckling may ... more
Contact mechanics is the study of the deformation of solids that touch each other at one or more points. Hertzian contact stress refers to the localized ... more
The shear modulus is one of several quantities for measuring the stiffness of materials and describes the material’s response to shear stress (like ... more
