  2. Poisson's ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson's_ratio

    Poisson's ratio of a material defines the ratio of transverse strain (x direction) to the axial strain (y direction)In materials science and solid mechanics, Poisson's ratio (symbol: ν ()) is a measure of the Poisson effect, the deformation (expansion or contraction) of a material in directions perpendicular to the specific direction of loading.

  3. Zinc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc

    Zinc is refined by froth flotation of the ore, roasting, and final extraction using electricity (electrowinning). Zinc is an essential trace element for humans, [8] [9] [10] animals, [11] plants [12] and for microorganisms [13] and is necessary for prenatal and postnatal development. [14]

  4. Isotopes of zinc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_zinc

    Naturally occurring zinc (30 Zn) is composed of the 5 stable isotopes 64 Zn, 66 Zn, 67 Zn, 68 Zn, and 70 Zn with 64 Zn being the most abundant (48.6% natural abundance).Twenty-eight radioisotopes have been characterised with the most stable being 65 Zn with a half-life of 244.26 days, and then 72 Zn with a half-life of 46.5 hours.

  5. Young's modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young's_modulus

    Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of the stress (force per unit area) applied to the object and the resulting axial strain (displacement or deformation) in the linear elastic region of the material. Although Young's modulus is named after the 19th-century British scientist Thomas Young, the concept was developed in 1727 by Leonhard Euler.

  6. Single displacement reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_displacement_reaction

    A single-displacement reaction, also known as single replacement reaction or exchange reaction, is an archaic concept in chemistry. It describes the stoichiometry of some chemical reactions in which one element or ligand is replaced by atom or group.

  7. Specific modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_modulus

    It is also known as the stiffness to weight ratio or specific stiffness. High specific modulus materials find wide application in aerospace applications where minimum structural weight is required. The dimensional analysis yields units of distance squared per time squared.

  8. Organozinc chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organozinc_chemistry

    The reaction is effected with zinc. The key zinc-intermediate formed is a carbenoid (iodomethyl)zinc iodide which reacts with alkenes to afford the cyclopropanated product. The rate of forming the active zinc species is increased via ultrasonication since the initial reaction occurs at the surface of the metal.

  9. Slip (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_(materials_science)

    In materials science, slip is the large displacement of one part of a crystal relative to another part along crystallographic planes and directions. [1] Slip occurs by the passage of dislocations on close/packed planes, which are planes containing the greatest number of atoms per area and in close-packed directions (most atoms per length).
