it means it can not move around much
Some definitions straight from my apple laptop:
stiff |stif|adjective1 not easily bent or changed in shape; rigid : a stiff blackcollar | stiff cardboard.• not moving as freely as is usual or desirable; difficult to turn or operate : a stiff drawer | the faucet in the shower is a little stiff.• (of a person or part of the body) unable to move easily and without pain : he was stiff from sitting on the desk | a stiff back.• (of a person or their manner) not relaxed or friendly; constrained : she greeted him with stiff politeness.• viscous; thick : add wheat until the mixture is quite stiff.2 severe or strong : they face stiff fines and a possible jail sentence | a stiff increase in taxes.
It depends of the stiffness. If the morning stiffness in joints it is related to an autoimmune process. If you mean stiffness with numbness and tingling after you had a part of your body in an wear position, it is related to low blood flow to that part of the body
A singular matrix is one that has a determinant of zero, and it has no inverse. Global stiffness can mean rigid motion of the body.
sounds like Ankylosing Spondylitis. usually causes fusion of the vertebra
it stands for the stiffness of the bristles but the lower the number the softer or harder?
the stiffness of a vehicle structure in a crash
If the length of a spring is halved, the stiffness remains the same. Stiffness of a spring is determined by its material and construction, not by its length. Cutting the length in half does not change the material properties that govern stiffness.
Stiffness is defined as the ratio of load per unit deformation.
Revision surgery is done due to stiffness after TKR.
A noun of the abstract type.
Joint stiffness can lead to a sedentary life, which in turn can lead to worse joint stiffness. The best thing for joint stiffness is a diet filled with whole fresh raw fruits and vegetables and plenty of exercise.
Stiffness of a material is a measure of its resistance to deformation when subjected to an applied load. It indicates how much a material will deform under a given load. Materials with high stiffness will deform less under load, while materials with low stiffness will deform more.
The constant spring stiffness formula is the force applied to the spring equal to the stiffness times the distance it moved. F=kx. Depending on where your axis are, it could be negative.
