Buckling is a state which defines a point where an equilibrium configuration becomes unstable and can manifest itself in several different phenomena.

During this solution the nuclei are fixed in a certain configuration, very often the equilibrium configuration.

If three fluids with surface energies that do not follow these inequalities are brought into contact, no equilibrium configuration consistent with Figure 3 will exist.

It will then tend to remain in such an equilibrium configuration until the passage of a step.

Thermal energy is the randomized distribution of kinetic energy within the material, resulting in statistical fluctuations of the material about the equilibrium configuration.

Earnshaw's theorem states that a collection of point charges cannot be maintained in an equilibrium configuration solely by the electrostatic interaction of the charges.

The core configuration attained its equilibrium configuration in February 1995.

As such, according to the second law of thermodynamics, it is the equilibrium configuration of an isolated system.

They can undergo enormous deformations away from the equilibrium configuration.

Capillary action provides the force that establishes an equilibrium configuration, balancing gravity.
