EK605

If no resistance is set up against deformation in the body, then it isknown as a mechanism.

EK516

Floatation will happen if the body on the average is lighter than water.

EK203

The entire procedure of the finite element method involves the following steps: The given body is subdivided into an equivalent system of finite elements. Suitable displacement function is chosen. Element […]

EK202

The finite element method is based on the representation of a body by an assemblage of subdivisions called finite elements. These elements are considered to be connected at nodes. Displacement […]

EK52

If the body has no abrupt changes in geometry, material properties and external conditions (e.g., load), the body can be divided into equal subdivisions and hence the spacing of the […]

EK32

When a body is in a liquid the surface of the body is subject to the same pressure everywhere, irrespective of the material. The pressure acts perpendicular to the surface, […]

EK27

Symmetry of the stiffness matrix is indicative of the fact that the body is linearly elastic and each displacement is related to the other by the same physical phenomenon.

EK22

If increase the pushing force, the static-friction force also increases, continuing to oppose pushing force, until its magnitude reaches a certain maximum value. If pushing force is further increased, the […]

EK10

When dealing with mechanics of rigid body, ignore deformations in the body and concern with only the net external effects of external forces.

EK07

A body is considered rigid when the change in distance between any two of its points is negligible.
