1. A state in mechanics and engineering where all internal and external forces acting on a body are balanced, resulting in zero net force and no acceleration
The equilibrium of stresses in the beam ensures that it will not collapse under the applied load.
O equilíbrio de tensões na viga garante que ela não colapsará sob a carga aplicada.
2. In structural analysis, the condition where stress components satisfy equilibrium equations and there is no resultant force or moment
Engineers must verify the equilibrium of stresses before approving the structural design.
Os engenheiros devem verificar o equilíbrio de tensões antes de aprovar o projeto estrutural.
