  2. Size effect on structural strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Size_Effect_on_Structural...

    For this reasons, the size effect on the strength in brittle failures of concrete structures and structural laminates has long been ignored. Then, however, the failure probability, which is required to be < 10 − 6 {\displaystyle <10^{-6}} , and actually does have such values for normal-size structures, may become for very large structures as ...

  3. Joint (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_(geology)

    A stress builds up which eventually exceeds the tensile strength of the bedrock and results in jointing. In the case of unloading joints, compressive stress is released either along preexisting structural elements (such as cleavage) or perpendicular to the former direction of tectonic compression. [2] [4] [8]

  4. Principles of war - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principles_of_war

    Unity of Command – For every objective, seek unity of command and unity of effort. At all levels of war, employment of military forces in a manner that masses combat power toward a common objective requires unity of command and unity of effort. Unity of command means that all the forces are under one responsible commander.

  5. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    Considered in tandem with the fact that the yield strength is the parameter that predicts plastic deformation in the material, one can make informed decisions on how to increase the strength of a material depending on its microstructural properties and the desired end effect. Strength is expressed in terms of the limiting values of the ...

  6. Power projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_projection

    Power projection (or force projection or strength projection) in international relations is the capacity of a state to deploy and sustain forces outside its territory. [1] The ability of a state to project its power into an area may serve as an effective diplomatic lever, influencing the decision-making processes and acting as a potential deterrent on other states' behavior.

  7. Geotechnical engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotechnical_engineering

    The use of a centrifuge enhances the similarity of the scale model tests involving soil because soil's strength and stiffness are susceptible to the confining pressure. The centrifugal acceleration allows a researcher to obtain large (prototype-scale) stresses in small physical models.

  8. Grim Dawn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grim_Dawn

    The strength and toughness of monsters scale with the number of players, as does the amount of loot. Items and Iron Bits can be traded between players in a party. The host of a multiplayer session can also enable Player vs. Player (PvP) mode, in which players who are not in the same party can attack and kill each other.
