Duality (mechanical engineering)

Duality (mechanical engineering)

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:

Constitutive relation

\sigma = E \varepsilon \iff \varepsilon = \frac{1}{E} \sigma \,
