Stress managementStress management consists of a wide spectrum of techniques and psychotherapies aimed at controlling a person's level of stress, especially chronic stress, usually for the purpose of improving everyday functioning. Stress produces numerous physical and mental symptoms which vary according to each individual's situational factors. These can include a decline in physical health, such as headaches, chest pain, fatigue, and sleep problems, as well as depression.
Température thermodynamiqueLa température thermodynamique est une formalisation de la notion expérimentale de température et constitue l’une des grandeurs principales de la thermodynamique. Elle est intrinsèquement liée à l'entropie. Usuellement notée , la température thermodynamique se mesure en kelvins (symbole K). Encore souvent qualifiée de « température absolue », elle constitue une mesure absolue parce qu’elle traduit directement le phénomène physique fondamental qui la sous-tend : l’agitation des constituant la matière (translation, vibration, rotation, niveaux d'énergie électronique).
Simple shearSimple shear is a deformation in which parallel planes in a material remain parallel and maintain a constant distance, while translating relative to each other. In fluid mechanics, simple shear is a special case of deformation where only one component of velocity vectors has a non-zero value: And the gradient of velocity is constant and perpendicular to the velocity itself: where is the shear rate and: The displacement gradient tensor Γ for this deformation has only one nonzero term: Simple shear with the rate is the combination of pure shear strain with the rate of 1/2 and rotation with the rate of 1/2: The mathematical model representing simple shear is a shear mapping restricted to the physical limits.
