SOLIDS: Strain is related to stress. For Hookean or linear
elastic solids
σ=Eε, where
ε is strain
E is Young’s modulus
σ is stress (force/area)
FLUIDS: Strain rate is related to shear stress. For
Newtonian fluids
τ = μ du/dy, where
τ is shear stress,
μ is viscosity
du/dy is velocity gradient

RECORD FUEL PRICES PLACE STRESS ON OCEAN
SHIPPING
May 2, 2008
Shipping lines worldwide are struggling as crude oil prices topped
an unprecedented US$119 per barrel this week, in turn pushing
marine bunker fuel prices up past $552 per ton – a $26 per ton
increase since the end of March alone. Bunker prices have risen
87% since the beginning of 2007.
Fuel costs represent as much as 50-60% of total ship operating
costs, depending on the type of ship and service.
.
.
.
With the cost of bunker fuel at $552 per ton, with fuel consumption
at 217 tons per day, and a 14 day voyage, a single round trip
voyage for this one vessel would produce a fuel bill of $3,353,952.
