  2. Spherical cap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_cap

    In geometry, a spherical cap or spherical dome is a portion of a sphere or of a ball cut off by a plane. It is also a spherical segment of one base, i.e., bounded by a single plane. If the plane passes through the center of the sphere (forming a great circle ), so that the height of the cap is equal to the radius of the sphere, the spherical ...

  3. Riser (casting) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riser_(casting)

    A bronze casting showing the sprue and risers. A riser, also known as a feeder, [1] is a reservoir built into a metal casting mold to prevent cavities due to shrinkage.Most metals are less dense as a liquid than as a solid so castings shrink upon cooling, which can leave a void at the last point to solidify.

  4. Elliptical dome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptical_dome

    An elliptical dome, or an oval dome, is a dome whose bottom cross-section takes the form of an ellipse. [1] Technically, an ellipsoidal dome has a circular cross-section, so is not quite the same.

  5. Ellipsoidal dome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsoidal_dome

    Ellipsoidal dome of Dhyanalinga. An ellipsoidal dome is a dome (also see geodesic dome), which has a bottom cross-section which is a circle, but has a cupola whose curve is an ellipse. [1] There are two types of ellipsoidal domes: prolate ellipsoidal domes and oblate ellipsoidal domes. A prolate ellipsoidal dome is derived by rotating an ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering

    Structural engineers also must understand and calculate the stability, strength, rigidity and earthquake-susceptibility of built structures for buildings [1] and nonbuilding structures. The structural designs are integrated with those of other designers such as architects and building services engineer and often supervise the construction of ...

  9. Elastic modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_modulus

    Pressure-volume curve: Plot the applied pressure against the resulting volume change. The bulk modulus can be calculated from the slope of this curve in the linear elastic region.The bulk modulus is defined as K=−VdV/dP, where V is the original volume, dP is the change in pressure, and dV is the change in volume.
