  2. Coupling (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_(physics)

    In classical mechanics, coupling is a connection between two oscillating systems, such as pendulums connected by a spring. The connection affects the oscillatory pattern of both objects. In particle physics, two particles are coupled if they are connected by one of the four fundamental forces.

  3. Coupling (piping) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_(piping)

    Alternatively it is a short length of pipe with two female National pipe threads (NPT) (in North American terms, a coupler is a double female while a nipple is double male) or two male or female British standard pipe threads. If the two ends of a coupling are of different standards or joining methods, the coupling is called an adapter. Examples ...

  4. Coupling (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_(disambiguation)

    Coupling is a connection or joint between two things. Coupling may also refer to: Coupling (physics), when two systems are interacting with each other Rotational–vibrational coupling, occurring when rotation frequency of an object is close to or identical to a natural internal vibration frequency

  5. Coupling constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_constant

    The dependence of a coupling g(μ) on the energy-scale is known as "running of the coupling". The theory of the running of couplings is given by the renormalization group , though it should be kept in mind that the renormalization group is a more general concept describing any sort of scale variation in a physical system (see the full article ...

  6. Coupling reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_reaction

    The most common type of coupling reaction is the cross coupling reaction. [1] [2] [3] Richard F. Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi, and Akira Suzuki were awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reactions. [4] [5] Broadly speaking, two types of coupling reactions are recognized:

  7. Coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling

    An improvised flexible coupling made of car tyre pieces connects the drive shafts of an engine and a water pump. This one is used to cancel out misalignment and dampen vibrations. Rotating coupling. A coupling is a device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmitting power. The primary purpose of couplings is ...

  8. Couple (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Couple_(mechanics)

    Definition. A couple is a pair of forces, equal in magnitude, oppositely directed, and displaced by perpendicular distance or moment. The simplest kind of couple consists of two equal and opposite forces whose lines of action do not coincide. This is called a "simple couple". [1]

  9. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

    The groove is made by cold-forming (or machining) a groove at the end of a pipe. A gasket encompassed by coupling housing is wrapped around the two pipe ends, with the coupling engaging the groove; the bolts and nuts are tightened with a socket or impact wrench. The installed coupling housing encases the gasket and engages the grooves around ...
