Imposed deformation — where it appears
2 essays name this object, across one field. What follows is each of them, and the objects they name alongside it.
The structure that settles down, and the one that walks
A load that is safe applied once may not be safe applied ten thousand times. Nothing about that is fatigue — the structure never breaks, it simply arrives somewhere slightly further round every cycle, until it has arrived somewhere unusable.
The strain that was imposed, and the stress that leaked away
Multiply a restrained shrinkage strain by the modulus and the answer is three times the tensile strength — which predicts that every restrained concrete member ever cast has cracked. Most have not, and the reason is that the material creeps while it is being stressed.
