Right, this is what I meant by "I'm not entirely sure if my question is valid".
With the curvature of spacetime, spacetime is "curved" due to the effect of gravity. However, what about length contraction for an object moving close to c? The "space" or the "amount of absence" between points A...
Simply put, does space actually curve or is it only the perception of space that curves? I've always thought space actually curved, but I'm not sure if this question is even valid since empty space isn't tangible in any real way.
(This is in reference to both length contraction and the...
Hi,
Can anybody tell me the difference between a Cauchy Boundary condition and a combined Dirichlet/Neumann Boundary Condition for PDEs?
The reason why I'm asking is because Cauchy boundary conditions can be used to solve Open Hyperbolic PDEs, whereas Dirichlet/Neumann can only be used to...
Hi,
This question came up on my midterm and I had no idea how to answer it without redrawing the entire curve as a stress vs. strain curve (which obviously took too long to do).
Anyway, I'm just requesting a general procedure, not a numerical answer. If you had a Load (y-axis) vs...
