  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. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    The methods employed to predict the response of a structure under loading and its susceptibility to various failure modes takes into account the properties of the materials such as its yield strength, ultimate strength, Young's modulus, and Poisson's ratio. In addition, the mechanical element's macroscopic properties (geometric properties) such ...

  4. Axial loading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_loading

    Axial loading is defined as applying a force on a structure directly along a given axis of said structure. [1] In the medical field, the term refers to the application of weight or force along the course of the long axis of the body. [2] The application of an axial load on the human spine can result in vertebral compression fractures. [3]

  5. Dynamic mechanical analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_mechanical_analysis

    Changing sample geometry and fixtures can make stress and strain analyzers virtually indifferent of one another except at the extreme ends of sample phases, i.e. really fluid or rigid materials. Common geometries and fixtures for axial analyzers include three-point and four-point bending, dual and single cantilever, parallel plate and variants ...

    1.0 x Dead Load + 1.0 x Live Load. Different load cases would be used for different loading conditions. For example, in the case of design for fire a load case of 1.0 x Dead Load + 0.8 x Live Load may be used, as it is reasonable to assume everyone has left the building if there is a fire.

  7. Slip (materials science) - Wikipedia

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

    The slip band at the centre of the image was observed at a certain load, then the load was increased with a burst of dislocations coming out of the slip band tip as a response to the load increment. This burst of dislocations and topographic change ahead of the slip band was observed across different slip bands (see the supplementary ...

  8. Yield (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_(engineering)

    Yield strength testing involves taking a small sample with a fixed cross-section area and then pulling it with a controlled, gradually increasing force until the sample changes shape or breaks. This is called a tensile test. Longitudinal and/or transverse strain is recorded using mechanical or optical extensometers.

  9. 1,1′-Bi-2-naphthol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,1′-Bi-2-naphthol

    1,1 ′-Bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) is an organic compound that is often used as a ligand for transition-metal catalysed asymmetric synthesis.BINOL has axial chirality and the two enantiomers can be readily separated and are stable toward racemisation.
