flux creep
1Flux pinning — is the phenomenon that magnetic flux lines do not move (become trapped, or pinned ) in spite of the Lorentz force acting on them inside a current carrying Type II superconductor. The phenomenon cannot occur in Type I superconductors, since these… …
2Creep (deformation) — For other uses, see Creep (disambiguation). v · d · e Materials failure modes Buckling …
3Downhill creep — Downhill creep, or commonly just creep, is the slow downward progression of rock and soil down a low grade slope; it can also refer to slow deformation of such materials as a result of prolonged pressure and stress. Creep may appear to an… …
4Diffusion creep — refers to the deformation of crystalline solids by the diffusion of vacancies through their crystal lattice.[1] Diffusion creep results in plastic deformation rather than brittle failure of the material. Diffusion creep is more sensitive to… …
5Instruction creep — occurs when instructions increase in number and size over time until they are unmanageable. It can be insidious and damaging to the success of large groups such as corporations, originating from ignorance of the KISS principle and resulting in… …
6Flywheel energy storage — NASA G2 flywheel Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel s rotational speed… …
7Bitter electromagnet — A Bitter electromagnet or Bitter solenoid is a type of electromagnet made of circular metal plates and insulating spacers stacked in a helical configuration, rather than coils of wire. This design was invented and built in 1933 by American… …
8Jarl-Thure Eriksson — (b. 5 November 1944 in Hammarland in Åland, Finland) is Doctor of Science in Technology, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Rector of Tampere University of Technology (TUT) in Finland between the years 1997 2008. During Eriksson’s period as… …
9Global climate model — AGCM redirects here. For Italian competition regulator, see Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato. Climate models are systems of differential equations based on the basic laws of physics, fluid motion, and chemistry. To “run” a model,… …
10Stirling engine — Alpha type Stirling engine. There are two cylinders. The expansion cylinder (red) is maintained at a high temperature while the compression cylinder (blue) is cooled. The passage between the two cylinders contains the regenerator …
