  2. Mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass

    If a first body of mass m A is placed at a distance r (center of mass to center of mass) from a second body of mass m B, each body is subject to an attractive force F g = Gm A m B /r 2, where G = 6.67 × 10 −11 N⋅kg −2 ⋅m 2 is the "universal gravitational constant". This is sometimes referred to as gravitational mass.

  3. Invariant mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invariant_mass

    For example, rest mass and invariant mass are zero for individual photons even though they may add mass to the invariant mass of systems. For this reason, invariant mass is in general not an additive quantity (although there are a few rare situations where it may be, as is the case when massive particles in a system without potential or kinetic ...

  4. Rolling contact fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_contact_fatigue

    It is the result of the process of fatigue due to rolling/sliding contact. [2] [3] The RCF process begins with cyclic loading of the material, which results in fatigue damage that can be observed in crack-like flaws, like white etching cracks. [2] These flaws can grow into larger cracks under further loading, potentially leading to fractures ...

  5. Mass in special relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_in_special_relativity

    The term mass in special relativity usually refers to the rest mass of the object, which is the Newtonian mass as measured by an observer moving along with the object. The invariant mass is another name for the rest mass of single particles. The more general invariant mass (calculated with a more complicated formula) loosely corresponds to the ...

  6. Vibration fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration_fatigue

    Various vibration-fatigue methods estimate damage intensity based on moments of the PSD, which characterize the statistical properties of the random process. The formulas for calculating such estimate are empirical (with very few exceptions) and are based on numerous simulations of random processes with known PSD. As a consequence, the accuracy ...

  7. Tumefactive multiple sclerosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumefactive_multiple_sclerosis

    About fatigue: most MS patients experience fatigue and this could be a direct result of the disease, depression or sleep disturbances due to MS. It is not clearly understood how MS results in physical fatigue but it is known that the repetitive usage of the same neural pathways results in nerve fiber fatigue that could cause neurological symptoms.

  8. Higgs mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_mechanism

    In the Standard Model of particle physics, the Higgs mechanism is essential to explain the generation mechanism of the property "mass" for gauge bosons.Without the Higgs mechanism, all bosons (one of the two classes of particles, the other being fermions) would be considered massless, but measurements show that the W +, W −, and Z 0 bosons actually have relatively large masses of around 80 ...

  9. Effective mass (solid-state physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_mass_(solid...

    The name "density of states effective mass" is used since the above expression for N C is derived via the density of states for a parabolic band. In practice, the effective mass extracted in this way is not quite constant in temperature (N C does not exactly vary as T 3/2). In silicon, for example, this effective mass varies by a few percent ...
