Duality (mechanical engineering)
Appearance
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:
Examples[edit]
Constitutive relation[edit]
- stress and strain (Hooke's law.)
