41Deformation (engineering) — This article is about deformation in engineering. For a more rigorous treatment, see Deformation (mechanics). Compressive stress results in deformation which shortens the object but also expands it outwards. In materials science, deformation is a …
42Work 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… …

47Paragliding — is a recreational and competitive flying sport. A paraglider is a free flying, foot launched aircraft. The pilot sits in a harness suspended below a fabric wing, whose shape is formed by the pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing …
48Terminal ballistics — Terminal ballistics, a sub field of ballistics, is the study of the behavior of a projectile when it hits its target. It is often referred to as stopping power when dealing with human or other living targets. Terminal ballistics is as relevant… …
49Permanent way — The permanent way means the physical elements of the railway line itself: generally the pairs of rails typically laid on sleepers embedded in ballast, intended to carry the ordinary trains of a railway. This page describes British practice and… …
50Maraging steel — Maraging steels (a portmanteau of martensitic and aging ) are steels (iron alloys) which are known for possessing superior strength and toughness without losing malleability, although they cannot hold a good cutting edge. Aging refers to the… …
