A characteristic of a condition, such as value, rate, periodicity, or amplitude, exhibiting only negligible change over an arbitrary long period of time.
A simulation in which the boundary conditions are static. The variables being investigated do not change with time. See also: Dynamic
The condition of a device after power has been initially applied for a certain period or when its electrical parameters are allowed to stabilize. This condition is reflected in parameters such as current flow, output voltage, and/or temperature.
Stable operating or other load conditions that do not change with time.
The condition which is reached after a disturbance of the normal power signal has died out.
The steady-state is a condition of the economy in which output per worker (Productivity of labour) and capital per worker (Capital intensity) do not change over time. This is due to the rate of new capital production from invested savings exactly equalling the rate of existing capital depreciation. Exogenous growth models show how economies will naturally tend to a steady-state.
