Each element is then analyzed individually to develop member stiffness equations.

The mechanical counterparts of these properties are, respectively, mass, stiffness and damping.

For now, the British upper lip seems to have regained some of its stiffness.

The method described in this section is meant as an overview of the direct stiffness method.

Confusion, decreased level of consciousness or coma may be present, as may neck stiffness and other signs of meningism.

Trent engines use hollow titanium fan blades with an internal Warren girder structure to achieve strength, stiffness and robustness at low weight.

In contrast to the British royal family s stiffness and reserve, she showed herself to be a princess who was also a normal human being, more like the rest of us.

Joint stiffness may be either the symptom of pain on moving a joint, the symptom of loss of range of motion or the physical sign of reduced range of motion.

Variations with temperature in the resonance frequency (and other features of the frequency function) are directly related to variations in the Young's modulus, which is a measure of stiffness of the material.

Translating these electrical element values back into mechanical quantities provided specifications for the mechanical components in terms of mass and stiffness, which in turn could be translated into physical dimensions for their manufacture.

For now, the British upper lip seems to have regained some of its stiffness. One hopes that this will last long enough for British society to regain its stability and its much needed vigor.

Brown intended this name in the same sense as the medical term ankylosis, to refer to the stiffness produced by the fusion of many bones in the skull and body, so the name is often translated as 'stiffened lizard.

The hyperbolic distribution The hyperbolic secant distribution The Johnson SU distribution The Landau distribution The Laplace distribution The Lévy skew alpha stable distribution or stable distribution is a family of distributions often used to characterize financial data and critical behavior the Cauchy distribution, Holtsmark distribution, Landau distribution, Lévy distribution and normal distribution are special cases.

What we discovered is whether you look at the leg of a human like Richard, or a cockroach, or a crab, or a kangaroo, the relative leg stiffness of that spring is the same for everything we've seen so far.
