81Space fountain — The Hyde design for a space fountain A space fountain is a proposed form of space elevator that does not require the structure to be in geostationary orbit, and does not rely on tensile strength for support. In contrast to the original space… …
82Electrorheological fluid — Electrorheological (ER) fluids are suspensions of extremely fine non conducting particles (up to 50 micrometres diameter) in an electrically insulating fluid. The apparent viscosity of these fluids changes reversibly by an order of up to 100,000… …
83Shot peening — is a process used to produce a compressive residual stress layer and modify mechanical properties of metals. It entails impacting a surface with shot (round metallic, glass or ceramic particles) with force sufficient to create plastic deformation …

85Work hardening — Work hardening, also known as strain hardening or cold working, is the strengthening of a metal by plastic deformation. This strengthening occurs because of dislocation movements within the crystal structure of the material.[1] Any material with… …
86Nerve guidance conduit — A nerve guidance conduit (also referred to as an artificial nerve conduit or artificial nerve graft, as opposed to an autograft) is an artificial means of guiding axonal regrowth to facilitate nerve regeneration and is one of several clinical… …

89Dislocation — For the syntactic operation, see Dislocation (syntax). For the medical term, see Joint dislocation. In materials science, a dislocation is a crystallographic defect, or irregularity, within a crystal structure. The presence of dislocations… …
90Bending moment — A bending moment exists in a structural element when a moment is applied to the element so that the element bends. Moments and torques are measured as a force multiplied by a distance so they have as unit newton metres (N·m) , or foot pounds… …
