stiffness VS rigidity
Thread Content
The two words shown in the title both mean "stiffness". What is the difference? Thank you in advance! This post was last edited by solar3124 on 2009-2-24 14:20 ]
The following are the meanings of these two words: stiffness; rigidity; stiffness; stiffness; stiffness; stiffness; anti-capacitance; hardness; stiffness; stiffness ； But if we only compare the meaning of "stiffness" between the two words, I personally think that there is no big difference between the two words, that is, they can be used interchangeably when used to express the meaning of "stiffness".
Thank you both, I have a vague idea, for example: When used for equipment rigidity calculations, use rigidity. Stiffness is used when describing slender members.
