High-pressure torsion (HPT) is a severe plastic deformation technique used to refine the microstructure of materials by applying both high pressure and torsional strain. [1] HPT involves compressing a material between two anvils while simultaneously rotating one of the anvils, inducing shear deformation. [ 2 ]
He is best known for his book Human Competence: Engineering Worthy Performance. Gilbert devised HPT when he realized that formal learning programs often only brought about a change in knowledge, not a change in behavior. Other techniques were needed to bring about a lasting change in behavior. [2]
A simpler definition of HPT is a systematic approach to improving individual and organizational performance (Pershing, 2006). A common misunderstanding of the word technology with regards to HPT is that it relates to information technologies. In HPT, technology refers to the specialized aspects of the field of Human Performance.
Evaluation is also a central aspect of HPT, and is used during planning, carrying out, and following up interventions by measuring results against identified requirements. In 2002 ISPI convened a group of workplace managers, business consultants, and academics met to define what skills and abilities a performance technology practitioner needed.
During the constrained HPT process, the material experiences shear deformation between a fixed and a rotating anvil, without losing its original dimensions. High pressure torsion (HPT) can be traced back to the experiments that won Percy Bridgman the 1946 Nobel Prize in Physics, though its use in metal processing is considerably more recent. In ...
For those who are feeling "stuck" or overwhelmed while striving for work-life balance, some experts recommend adopting a "pendulum lifestyle." Coined by Dr. Jeffrey Karp, Ph.D, a professor of ...
The Trump transition team wants the incoming administration to drop a car-crash reporting requirement opposed by Elon Musk’s Tesla, according to a document seen by Reuters, a move that could ...
History of Technology is a book series publishing annual volumes since 1976, covering the history of technology in different countries and time periods. The first seven volumes of the series were edited by A. Rupert Hall and Norman Smith. [1] Volumes 8 through 11 were edited by Norman Smith.
