  2. Stacking-fault energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking-fault_energy

    The two primary methods of deformation in metals are slip and twinning. Slip occurs by dislocation glide of either screw or edge dislocations within a slip plane. Slip is by far the most common mechanism. Twinning is less common but readily occurs under some circumstances. Twinning occurs when there are not enough slip systems to accommodate ...

  3. Crystal plasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_plasticity

    Crystal plasticity assumes that any deformation that is applied to a material is accommodated by the process of slip, where dislocation motion occurs on a slip system. Further, Schmid's law is assumed to be a valid, where a given slip system is said to be active when the resolved shear stress along the slip system exceeds the critical resolved ...

  4. Slip (materials science) - Wikipedia

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

    A slip system describes the set of symmetrically identical slip planes and associated family of slip directions for which dislocation motion can easily occur and lead to plastic deformation. The magnitude and direction of slip are represented by the Burgers vector , b .

  5. Plasticity (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasticity_(physics)

    Plasticity in a crystal of pure metal is primarily caused by two modes of deformation in the crystal lattice: slip and twinning. Slip is a shear deformation which moves the atoms through many interatomic distances relative to their initial positions.

  6. Schmid's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmid's_Law

    In materials science, Schmid's law (also Schmid factor [a]) describes the slip plane and the slip direction of a stressed material, which can resolve the most shear stress. ...

    The preferred choice of designers, solid hardwood flooring can’t be beat for looks, but costs can range from $8 to $25 per square foot, with most homeowners paying on average around $16 per ...

  8. Deformation mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_mechanism

    Sample deformation mechanism map for a hypothetical material. Here there are three main regions: plasticity, power law creep, and diffusional flow. A deformation mechanism map is a way of representing the dominant deformation mechanism in a material loaded under a given set of conditions. The technique is applicable to all crystalline materials ...

  9. Carpet vs. Wood Floors: In This Battle, There's a Clean Winner

    www.aol.com/news/2014-05-06-carpet-vs-wood...

    Wood floors should last longer Carpet should last about 10 years, which is the length of a typical warranty, Davis says. "After that, it's just going to ugly out," she says.
