  2. Sandwich panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich_panel

    A sandwich panel is any structure made of three layers: a low-density core (PIR, mineral wool, XPS), and a thin skin-layer bonded to each side. Sandwich panels are used in applications where a combination of high structural rigidity and low weight is required.

  3. Fluting (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluting_(architecture)

    Fluted columns are common in the tradition of classical architecture but were not invented by the ancient Greeks, but rather passed down or learned from the Mycenaeans or the Egyptians. [ 2 ] Especially in stone architecture, fluting distinguishes the column shafts and pilasters visually from plain masonry walls behind. [ 3 ]

  4. Stressed skin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stressed_skin

    The Zeppelin-Lindau D.I had stressed skin fuselage and wings.. In mechanical engineering, stressed skin is a rigid construction in which the skin or covering takes a portion of the structural load, intermediate between monocoque, in which the skin assumes all or most of the load, and a rigid frame, which has a non-loaded covering.

  5. Sandwich-structured composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich-structured_composite

    The outer skins: If the sandwich is supported on both sides, and then stressed by means of a downward force in the middle of the beam, then the bending moment will introduce shear forces in the material. The shear forces result in the bottom skin in tension and the top skin in compression. The core material spaces these two skins apart.

  6. 9-slice scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9-slice_scaling

    Top: Traditional scaling, corners are distorted. Bottom: 9-slice scaling, corners aren't distorted. 9-slice scaling (also known as Scale 9 grid, 9-slicing or 9-patch) is a 2D image resizing technique to proportionally scale an image by splitting it in a grid of nine parts.

  7. Space Shuttle thermal protection system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_thermal...

    The light gray material which withstood reentry temperatures up to 1,510 °C (2,750 °F) protected the wing leading edges and nose cap. Each of the orbiters' wings had 22 RCC panels about 1 ⁄ 4 to 1 ⁄ 2 inch (6.4 to 12.7 mm) thick. T-seals between each panel allowed for thermal expansion and lateral movement between these panels and the wing.

  8. Pitsa panels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitsa_panels

    It is known that panel paintings were held in much higher regard, but very few of them have survived. The best known examples of ancient panel painting, the Fayum mummy portraits and the Severan Tondo, are of Roman date. The Pitsa panels, probably preserved due to the unusual climatic conditions inside the cave, are by far the earliest examples ...
