  2. Stacking-fault energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking-fault_energy

    Twinning is less common but readily occurs under some circumstances. Twinning occurs when there are not enough slip systems to accommodate deformation and/or when the material has a very low SFE. Twins are abundant in many low SFE metals like copper alloys, but are rarely seen in high SFE metals like aluminum.

  3. Crystal twinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_twinning

    Deformation twinning is a response to shear stress. The crystal structure is displaced along successive planes of the crystal, a process also called glide. The twinning is always reflection twinning and the glide plane is also the mirror plane. Deformation twinning can be observed in a calcite cleavage fragment by applying gentle pressure with ...

    Reconstructive surgery following a severe injury, e.g. burn injury; Deformity can occur in all organisms: Frogs can be mutated due to Ribeiroia infection. Plants can undergo irreversible cell deformation [1] Insects, such as honeybees, can be affected by deformed wing virus; Fish can be found with scoliosis due to environmental factors [2]

    Per the CDC, over 14 million people in that age group, or 1 in 4 seniors, report experiencing falls each year. The age-adjusted death rate from falls increased in 2021 to 78 per 100,000 older ...

  6. Falls in older adults - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falls_in_older_adults

    Falling is one of the most common accidents that cause a loss in the quality of life for older adults, and is usually precipitated by a loss of balance and weakness in the legs. [1] [2] The cause of falling in old age is often multifactorial and may require a multidisciplinary approach both to treat any injuries sustained and to prevent future ...

  7. Plasticity (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    Twinning is the plastic deformation which takes place along two planes due to a set of forces applied to a given metal piece. Most metals show more plasticity when hot than when cold. Lead shows sufficient plasticity at room temperature, while cast iron does not possess sufficient plasticity for any forging operation even when hot.

  8. Soft tissue injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_tissue_injury

    A soft tissue injury is the damage of muscles, ligaments and tendons throughout the body. Common soft tissue injuries usually occur from a sprain , strain , a one-off blow resulting in a contusion or overuse of a particular part of the body.

  9. TWIP steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TWIP_steel

    These values vary with deformation temperature, strain rate and chemical composition. [3] [4] Researchers have shown that increased work hardening attributed to the partitioning of the austenite grains is the main contributing factor to the overall elongation of TWIP steels in which the mechanical strain of twinning have a rather small ...
