In this article the authors discuss how the research paradigm and methodology work together to form a research study. The qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods debate is then discussed as it pertains to the decisions that need to be made by the researcher.t is, therefore, a priority of this article to 'demystify' the role of paradigms in research. The article then moves to a discussion of methodology as it relates to the research paradigm.
The classic formula for determining the bending stress in a beam under simple bending is: = where. is the bending stress â the moment about the neutral axis â the perpendicular distance to the neutral axis
Finally, I have a body load (the pressure; force per unit volume) : -rho*g for value y. After calculation with Comsol, my problem is: - The crust isn't static, there is a displacement. Why is that so? - The stress distribution due to gravity calculed by Comsol differs from the pressure rho*g*y: there is a non-zero deviatoric stress.
