1Yield (engineering) — The yield strength or yield point of a material is defined in engineering and materials science as the stress at which a material begins to deform plastically. Prior to the yield point the material will deform elastically and will return to its… …
2Thermal de Broglie wavelength — In physics, the Thermal de Broglie wavelength is defined for a free ideal gas of massive particles in equilibrium as:: Lambda = sqrt{frac{ h^2}{ 2pi mkT = frac {h} {(2 pi mkT)^{1/2where* h is Planck s constant * m is the mass of a gas particle *… …
3Colloidal crystal — A colloidal crystal is an ordered array of colloid particles, analogous to a standard crystal whose repeating subunits are atoms or molecules.[1] A natural example of this phenomenon can be found in the gem opal, where spheres of silica assume a… …
4Colloid — Milk is an emulsified colloid of liquid butterfat globules dispersed within a water based solution. A colloid is a substance microscopically dispersed evenly throughout another substance.[1] A colloidal system consists of two separate phases: a… …
5Dilatant — A dilatant (also termed shear thickening) material is one in which viscosity increases with the rate of shear strain. Such a shear thickening fluid, also known by the acronym STF, is an example of a non Newtonian fluid. Comparison of the behavior …
