FAQ

What is the Stiffness of Constraint?
Stiffness of Constraint is the measure of resistance to deformation of a constraint in longitudinal and transverse vibrations due to inertia effects. Stiffness of Constraint is usually measured using the Newton per Meter for Surface Tension. Note that the value of Stiffness of Constraint is always positive.
Can the Stiffness of Constraint be negative?
No, the Stiffness of Constraint, measured in Surface Tension cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Stiffness of Constraint?
Stiffness of Constraint is usually measured using the Newton per Meter[N/m] for Surface Tension. Millinewton per Meter[N/m], Gram-Force per Centimeter[N/m], Dyne per Centimeter[N/m] are the few other units in which Stiffness of Constraint can be measured.
