  2. Dilatancy (granular material) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilatancy_(granular_material)

    But as the stress approaches its peak value, the volumetric strain starts to increase. After some more shear, the soil sample has a larger volume than when the test was started. The amount of dilation depends strongly on the initial density of the soil. In general, the denser the soil, the greater the amount of volume expansion under shear.

  3. Electromagnetic testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_testing

    If the test is set up properly, a defect inside the test object creates a measurable response. The term "electromagnetic testing" is often intended to mean simply eddy-current testing (ECT). However, with an expanding number of electromagnetic and magnetic test methods, "electromagnetic testing" is more often used to mean the whole class of ...

  4. Magnetic particle inspection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_particle_inspection

    There are several types of electrical currents used in magnetic particle inspection. For a proper current to be selected one needs to consider the part geometry, material, the type of discontinuity one is seeking, and how far the magnetic field needs to penetrate into the part.

  5. Mechanically stabilized earth - Wikipedia

    Reinforcement placed in horizontal layers throughout the height of the wall provides the tensile strength to hold the soil together. The reinforcement materials of MSE can vary. Originally, long steel strips 50 to 120 mm (2 to 5 in) wide were used as reinforcement. These strips are sometimes ripped, although not always, to provide added friction.

  6. Excitation (magnetic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excitation_(magnetic)

    The generator is started with no load connected; the initial weak field induces a weak current in the rotor coils, which in turn creates an initial field current, increasing the field strength, thus increasing the induced current in the rotor, and so on in a feedback process until the machine "builds up" to full voltage.

  7. Electromagnetic compatibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_compatibility

    Like all compliance testing, it is important that the test equipment, including the test chamber or site and any software used, be properly calibrated and maintained. Typically, a given run of tests for a particular piece of equipment will require an EMC test plan and a follow-up test report. The full test program may require the production of ...

  8. Magnetic core - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_core

    A magnetic core is a piece of magnetic material with a high magnetic permeability used to confine and guide magnetic fields in electrical, electromechanical and magnetic devices such as electromagnets, transformers, electric motors, generators, inductors, loudspeakers, magnetic recording heads, and magnetic assemblies.

  9. Field strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_strength

    In physics, field strength is the magnitude of a vector-valued field (e.g., in volts per meter, V/m, for an electric field E). [1] For example, an electromagnetic field has both electric field strength and magnetic field strength .
