The pointer may be a relative displacement or an absolute address that points to the next oldest sibling.
If after a displacement of the continuum there is a relative displacement between particles, a deformation has occurred.
They're a bit distorted from the ones we see today because the relative displacements have altered a little with time, of course.
It is misleading to assign energy to a point in space-time because only relative displacements are meaningful.
The direct detection of gravitational waves requires the measurement of relative displacements and their changes with time.
As is true of all materials, regions of graphene are subject to thermal and quantum fluctuations in relative displacement.
Local deformation and elastic strain are negligibly affected by this long-range divergence in relative displacement.
This is due to the relative displacement of cations with respect to anions in its crystalline structure.
This force density depends on the relative displacement and relative position vectors between and .
One development of the optical encoder employs two photosensitive devices with a small relative displacement.
