31Matrix stiffness method — In structural engineering, the matrix stiffness method (or simply stiffness method , also known as Direct stiffness method) is a matrix method that makes use of the members stiffness relations for computing member forces and displacements in… …
32Joint stiffness — Classification and external resources ICD 10 M25.6 ICD 9 719.5 Joint stiffness may be either th …
33Tangent stiffness matrix — In computational mechanics, a tangent stiffness matrix is a matrix that describes the stiffness of a system in response to small changes in configuration. It represents tangent in that the energy of the system can be thought of as a high… …
34Arterial stiffness — Arteries stiffen as a consequence of age and atherosclerosis. The two leading causes of death in the developed world, myocardial infarction and stroke, are both a direct consequence of atherosclerosis. Increased arterial stiffness is associated… …
35cornering stiffness coefficient — the ratio of cornering stiffness of a straight free rolling tire to the vertical load. Note: although the term cornering coefficient has been used in a number of technical papers, for consistency with definitions of other terms using the word… …
36roll stiffness distribution — the distribution of the vehicle roll stiffness between front and rear suspension expressed as percentage of the vehicle roll stiffness …
37Bending stiffness — The bending stiffness E I of a beam (or a plate) relates the applied bending moment to the resulting deflection of the beam. It is the product of the elastic modulus E of the beam material and the area moment of inertia I of the beam cross… …
