    How Are Stress Lines and Streamlines Related in Physical Models?

    I was initially curious by the fact that streamlines around a circle appear the same as the lines of stress around a hole: I understand that streamlines are the contour lines of the stream function ##\psi## which satisfies the Laplace equation. I was wondering there is a related function for...

    What is the Elongation Due to Stress and Strain in Steel?

    $$\text{stress}=\frac{7500\times9.8}{0.105^2\pi}\approx2.1\times10^6\,Pa$$ ##Y=20\times10^{10}\,Pa## for steel. $$\frac{\Delta L}{L}=\frac{\text{stress}}{Y}\approx1.1\times10^{-5}$$ $$\Delta L\approx2.3\times10^{-5}\,m$$

    How to form the stress tensor component from the equilibrium equation?

    Good evening everybody. This is my suggestion for answer. The tensor is diagonal and the compression is a plane stress equilibre equation div(σ)=0 so: So, does that means that = f(y.z) = Ay+Bz and =f(x.z)= Cx+Dz A,B,C and D are constants. Is that what the question meant? Thank you in...

    You're on Earth. You throw a ball and watch its trajectory. It's curved. That's because the Earth is curving space-time at every point along the trajectory. But the Earth itself is not present along the trajectory - there is no matter along the trajectory (let's ignore the air and any radiation...
