  2. Bolt thrust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolt_thrust

    Bolt thrust or breech pressure is a term used in internal ballistics and firearms (whether small arms or artillery) that describes the amount of rearward force exerted by the propellant gases on the bolt or breech of a firearm action or breech when a projectile is fired.

  3. Circular error probable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_error_probable

    The relation between and are given by the following table, where the values for DRMS and 2DRMS (twice the distance root mean square) are specific to the Rayleigh distribution and are found numerically, while the CEP, R95 (95% radius) and R99.7 (99.7% radius) values are defined based on the 68–95–99.7 rule

  4. Drilling formula sheets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling_formula_sheets

    Drilling Formula Sheets is a set of Drilling Formulas used commonly by drilling engineers in the onshore and offshore oil drilling industry. They are used as part of a key piece of engineering work called Well Control .

  5. Small arms ammunition pressure testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_arms_ammunition...

    The piezo measuring device (transducer) is positioned at a distance of 25 millimetres (0.98 in) from the breech face when the length of the cartridge case permits that, including limits. When the length of the cartridge case is too short, pressure measurement will take place at a chambering specific defined shorter distance from the breech face ...

  6. With high probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/With_high_probability

    In mathematics, an event that occurs with high probability (often shortened to w.h.p. or WHP) is one whose probability depends on a certain number n and goes to 1 as n goes to infinity, i.e. the probability of the event occurring can be made as close to 1 as desired by making n big enough.

  7. Gordon–Loeb model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon–Loeb_model

    The potential loss is €1,000,000 × 0.15 × 0.8 = €120,000. Based on the Gordon-Loeb model, the company’s security investment should not exceed €120,000 × 0.37 = €44,000 . The model was first introduced by Lawrence A. Gordon and Martin P. Loeb in a 2002 paper published in ACM Transactions on Information and System Security , titled ...

  8. Girsanov theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girsanov_theorem

    The theorem is especially important in the theory of financial mathematics as it explains how to convert from the physical measure, which describes the probability that an underlying instrument (such as a share price or interest rate) will take a particular value or values, to the risk-neutral measure which is a very useful tool for evaluating ...

  9. Failure mode, effects, and criticality analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_Mode,_Effects,_and...

    For functional level FMECA, engineering judgment may be required to assign failure mode ratio. The conditional probability number represents the conditional probability that the failure effect will result in the identified severity classification, given that the failure mode occurs. It represents the analyst's best judgment as to the likelihood ...
