The weight is supported over a majority of the major surface thus avoiding localised stresses.

This produces localised stress concentrations that may cause cracking or flaking.

Numerous work pieces, especially shaping tools, suffer from local peak stresses which results in increased wear.

The wall serves to increase the structural rigidity of the clamp in a single axial section of the clamp, thereby providing a 'stress barrier' to the transmission of localized stresses from the screw points.

The sheet and rod attachment apparatus includes an adaptor that couples the sheet to the rod in a manner that minimizes or substantially eliminates localized stress concentrations.

The convex profiles of the container portion intersect the side seals to advantageously blunt corners of the product package to advantageously reduce localized stresses.

Placed between a geomembrane and the supporting soil or protective layer, the geotextile absorbs local stress and protects the geomembrane from puncturing.

Hertzian contact stress refers to the localized stresses that develop as two curved surfaces come in contact and deform slightly under the imposed loads.

Hertzian contact stress refers to the localized stresses that develop as two curved surfaces come in angle between thecontact and deform slightly under the imposed loads.

The inner skin (8) as a diaphragm will take tensile stress and be protected against outer local stresses.

The weight is supported over a majority of the major surface thus avoiding localised stresses.

The pressure sensor enhances the seal between the mated membranes by creating higher localized contact stresses.

This produces localised stress concentrations that may cause cracking or flaking.
