  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.

    Another radical change in 2014 was the introduction of the ERS (Energy Recovery System). This system works similarly to KERS , with drivers getting a full-time boost of about 160 bhp from electric motors used in conjunction with the internal combustion engine (generating around 1,000 bhp in total) instead of a 6-second bank of extra power per lap.

  4. Blish lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blish_lock

    Blish put this theory to use in a delayed-blowback breech mechanism. He developed a working model that used a simple wedge as the delay mechanism, and was eventually assigned U.S. patent 1,131,319 on March 9, 1915. Despite the patent and use of the system in the Thompson submachine gun, the Blish principle found little scientific backing. [1]

  5. Gordon–Loeb model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon–Loeb_model

    Investment in cybersecurity, denoted as z, reduces v based on the effectiveness of the security measures, known as the security breach probability function. Gordon and Loeb demonstrated that the optimal level of security investment, z*, does not exceed 37% of the expected loss from a breach. Specifically, z* (v) ≤ (1/e) vL.

  6. History of Formula One regulations - Wikipedia

    The 1960s began the way the previous decade had ended for Formula One's rule book with relatively few changes made. However, with the advent of a new breed of innovative and forward thinking designers like Colin Chapman [12] and the beginnings of drivers lobbying for safer racing conditions, [13] the number of rule changes made began to accelerate as the decade came to a close.

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

    With each on a scale from 1 to 10, the highest RPN is 10x10x10 = 1000. This means that this failure is not detectable by inspection, very severe and the occurrence is almost sure. If the occurrence is very sparse, this would be 1 and the RPN would decrease to 100. So, criticality analysis enables to focus on the highest risks.

  8. 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.

  9. Gurney equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurney_equations

    As a simple approximate equation, the physical value of is usually very close to 1/3 of the detonation velocity of the explosive material for standard explosives. [1] For a typical set of military explosives, the value of D 2 E {\displaystyle {\frac {D}{\sqrt {2E}}}} ranges from between 2.32 for Tritonal and 3.16 for PAX-29n.
