A dimensionless load ratio is identified which dictates the shape of the stress distribution.
Eq. (1) represents a necessary and sufficient condition for loss of static stability of structures subjected to conservative loading λ P ¯, where P ¯ denotes the vector of node forces, in the context of the FEM, that are work-equivalent to the actual loading, and λ is a dimensionless load factor.
The amount of splitting is characterized by a dimensionless constant called the fine-structure constant.
The data were correlated by a dimensionless mass transfer equation.
The stratification in the tank is quantified by a dimensionless exergy efficiency.
To show a possible intensification of the heat transfer, results have been represented by a dimensionless correlation using dimensionless numbers as Nusselt, Reynolds, Kapitza and Prandtl.
The stable crack length is characterized by a dimensionless fracture-mechanics quantity required to attain the associated crack length.
This process transition is governed by a dimensionless uplift number that reflects the balance between processes of relief generation and denudation.
The local field Elocalis related to the macroscopic applied field E by a dimensionless geometrical enhancement factor as.
For this reason, we allow the curvature coupling strength to be scaled by a (dimensionless) factor g in our analysis.
