  2. Rule of mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_mixtures

    In general there are two models, one for axial loading (Voigt model), [2] [4] and one for transverse loading (Reuss model). [ 2 ] [ 5 ] In general, for some material property E {\displaystyle E} (often the elastic modulus [ 1 ] ), the rule of mixtures states that the overall property in the direction parallel to the fibers may be as high as

  3. Plug flow reactor model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug_flow_reactor_model

    The key assumption is that as a plug flows through a PFR, the fluid is perfectly mixed in the radial direction but not in the axial direction (forwards or backwards). Each plug of differential volume is considered as a separate entity, effectively an infinitesimally small continuous stirred tank reactor , limiting to zero volume.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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]

  7. Triaxial shear test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triaxial_shear_test

    The rate of axial deformation is kept constant, i.e., strain is controlled. The test allows the sample and the pore pressures to fully consolidate (i.e., adjust) to the surrounding stresses. The test may take a long time to allow the sample to adjust, in particular low permeability samples need a long time to drain and adjust strain to stress ...

  8. Stress–strain analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress–strain_analysis

    The stress (or load, or deflection) the structure is expected to experience are known as the working, the design or limit stress. The limit stress, for example, is chosen to be some fraction of the yield strength of the material from which the structure is made. The ratio of the ultimate strength of the material to the allowable stress is ...

  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.
