41Dislocation — 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… …
42solids, mechanics of — ▪ physics Introduction science concerned with the stressing (stress), deformation (deformation and flow), and failure of solid materials and structures. What, then, is a solid? Any material, fluid or solid, can support normal forces.… …
43Frank-Read Source — A Frank Read Source is a mechanism explaining the generation of multiple dislocations in specific well spaced slip planes in crystals when they are deformed. It was proposed by and named after Sir Charles Frank and Thornton Read. When a crystal… …
44Crystallite — Galvanized surface with visible crystallites of zinc. Crystallites in the steel under the coating are microscopic. Crystallites are small, often microscopic crystals that, held together through highly defective boundaries, constitute a… …
45Critical resolved shear stress — is the component of shear stress, resolved in the direction of slip, necessary to initiate slip in a grain. It is a constant for a given crystal. Tests have been conducted on single crystals of metals to measure the shear stress required to… …
46Schmidt decomposition — In linear algebra, the Schmidt decomposition refers to a particular way of expressing a vector in the tensor product of two inner product spaces. It has applications in quantum information theory and plasticity. Theorem Let H 1 and H 2 be Hilbert …
47Soil mechanics — is a discipline that applies principles of engineering mechanics, e.g. kinematics, dynamics, fluid mechanics, and mechanics of material, to predict the mechanical behavior of soils. Together with Rock mechanics, it is the basis for solving many… …
48Superalloy — A superalloy, or high performance alloy, is an alloy that exhibits excellent mechanical strength and creep resistance at high temperatures, good surface stability, and corrosion and oxidation resistance. Superalloys typically have an austenitic… …
49Slope 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. [… …
50Bicycle helmet — A bicycle helmet is a helmet intended to be worn while riding a bicycle. They are designed to attenuate impacts to the skull of a cyclist in falls while minimizing side effects such as interference with peripheral vision.[1] There is an active… …
