62Shear wall — In structural engineering, a shear wall is a wall composed of braced panels (also known as shear panels) to counter the effects of lateral loads acting on a structure. Wind and earthquake loads are the most common loads braced wall lines are… …
63Fluid coupling — A fluid coupling is a hydrodynamic device used to transmit rotating mechanical power. It has been used in automobile transmissions as an alternative to a mechanical clutch. It also has widespread application in marine and industrial machine… …
64compressive strength test — mechanical test measuring the maximum amount of compressive load a material can bear before fracturing. The test piece, usually in the form of a cube, prism, or cylinder, is compressed between the platens of a compression testing machine by …
65Vickers hardness — ▪ mineralogy a measure of the hardness of a material, calculated from the size of an impression produced under load by a pyramid shaped diamond indenter. Devised in the 1920s by engineers at Vickers, Ltd., in the United Kingdom, the diamond …
66Solar micro-inverter — A solar micro inverter: the Enphase M190 in the process of being installed. The ground wire is attached to the lug and the panel s DC connections are attached to the cables on the lower right. The AC parallel trunk cable runs at the top (just… …
67Poisson's ratio — ( ν ), named after Simeon Poisson, is the ratio of the relative contraction strain, or transverse strain (normal to the applied load), divided by the relative extension strain, or axial strain (in the direction of the applied load).When a sample… …
68Mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes — This article considers the Mechanical Properties of Carbon Nanotubes in the Radial (transverse) Direction. Carbon nanotube is one of the strongest materials in nature. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are basically long hollow cylinders of graphite sheets …
69Boundary lubrication — Brief description of lubricationLubrication is the process, or technique employed to reduce wear of one or both surfaces in relative motion to one another by interposing a substance called lubricant between the surfaces to carry or to help carry… …
70Design and manufacturing of gears — Gear design is the process of designing a gear. Designing is done prior to manufacturing and includes calculation of the gear geometry, taking into account gear strength, wear characteristic of the gear teeth, material selection, gear alignment… …
