  2. Fineness modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fineness_modulus

    The Fineness Modulus (FM) is an empirical figure obtained by adding the total percentage of the sample of an aggregate retained on each of a specified series of ...

  3. Elastic properties of the elements (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_properties_of_the...

    Elastic properties describe the reversible deformation (elastic response) of a material to an applied stress.They are a subset of the material properties that provide a quantitative description of the characteristics of a material, like its strength.

  4. Duff Abrams - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duff_Abrams

    Test methods for the water-cement ratio and fineness modulus). 1919 – Effect of Curing Condition on Wear and Strength of Concrete (Describing 120 tests on cylinder-shaped samples and 300 tests on cubic samples in various moisture conditions and testing periods varying from 3 days to 4 months).

  5. Soil gradation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_Gradation

    Soil gradation is a classification of the particle size distribution of a soil. Coarse-grained soils, mainly gravels or sands, are graded as either well graded or poorly graded.

  6. Hegman gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hegman_gauge

    Determining the fineness of a paint's grind is important, because too coarse a grind may reduce the paint's color uniformity, gloss, and opacity. [7] The Hegman gauge is widely used for this purpose because it requires minimal skill and only a few seconds' work.

  7. Units of textile measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_textile_measurement

    Various units are used to refer to the measurement of a fiber, such as: the denier and tex (linear mass density of fibers), super S (fineness of wool fiber), worsted count, woolen count, linen count (wet spun) (or Number English (Ne)), cotton count (or Number English (Ne)), Number metric (Nm) and yield (the reciprocal of denier and tex).

  8. Fineness ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fineness_ratio

    Reducing the length of the fuselage would require larger controls, which would offset the drag savings from using the ideal fineness ratio. An example of a high-performance design with an imperfect fineness ratio is the Lancair. In other cases, the designer is forced to use a non-ideal design due to outside factors such as seating arrangements ...

  9. Compressive strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressive_strength

    Round test specimens made from ductile materials with a high bulk modulus, such as metals, tend to form a barrel shape under axial compressive loading due to frictional contact at the ends. For this case the equivalent true compressive stress for this condition can be calculated using [ 4 ] σ ´ = C σ a {\displaystyle {\acute {\sigma }}=C ...
