critical slope
1Critical angle — can refer to: Critical angle (optics) the angle of incidence above which total internal reflection occurs Critical angle of attack, in aerodynamics; the angle of attack which produces the maximum lift coefficient Critical angle of repose, in… …
2Critical taper — In mechanics and geodynamics, a critical taper is the equilibrium angle made by the far end of a wedge shaped agglomeration of material that is being pushed by the near end. The angle of the critical taper is a function of the material properties …
3Slope stability — The field of slope stability encompasses the analysis of static and dynamic stability of slopes of earth and rock fill dams, slopes of other types of embankments, excavated slopes, and natural slopes in soil and soft rock. [… …
4Slope stability radar — The Slope Stability Radar (SSR) is a new application for the monitoring of slope stability at open cut mines. It is a system currently in use across the global mining and civil industries. Slope stability is a critical safety and production issue …
5Critical bands — The term critical band, introduced by Harvey Fletcher in the 1940s, referred to the frequency bandwidth of the then loosely defined auditory filter. Since Georg von Békésy’s studies (1960), the term also refers literally to the specific area on… …
6Critical band — The term critical band, introduced by Harvey Fletcher in the 1940s, referred to the frequency bandwidth of the then loosely defined auditory filter. Psychophysiologically, beating and auditory roughness sensations can be linked to the inability… …
7Critical micelle concentration — In colloidal and surface chemistry, the critical micelle concentration (CMC) is defined as the concentration of surfactants above which micelles form and almost all additional surfactants added to the system go to micelles.[1] The CMC is an… …
8Critical field — Upper critical field The upper critical field is the magnetic field (usually expressed in teslas (T)) which completely suppresses superconductivity in a Type II superconductor at 0K (absolute zero). More properly, the UCF is a function of… …
9Upper critical field — Upper critical field= The magnetic field (usually expressed in teslas (T)) which completely suppresses superconductivity in a Type II superconductor at 0K (absolute zero).More properly, the UCF is a function of temperature (and pressure) and if… …
10Bak–Tang–Wiesenfeld sandpile — In physics, the Bak–Tang–Wiesenfeld sandpile model is the first discovered example of a dynamical system displaying self organized criticality and is named after Per Bak, Chao Tang and Kurt Wiesenfeld.The model is a cellular automaton. At each… …
