  2. Soft-faced hammer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft-faced_hammer

    Soft faced hammer or mallet with plastic faces. A soft-faced hammer or mallet is a hammer designed to offer driving force without damaging surfaces. They also reduce the force transmitted back to the arm or hand of the user, by temporarily deforming more than a metal hammer would.

  3. Dead-blow hammer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead-blow_hammer

    A dead-blow hammer is a specialized mallet helpful in minimizing damage to the struck surface and in controlling striking force, with minimal rebound from the struck surface. The minimal rebound is helpful in avoiding accidental damage to precision work, especially in tight locations and in applications such as maintenance work on hydraulic ...

  4. Mallet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mallet

    A mallet is a tool used for imparting force on another object, often made of rubber or sometimes wood, that is smaller than a maul or beetle, and usually has a relatively large head. General overview [ edit ]

    Mallet: used as a hammer: Autopsy hammer: used just as a hammer Skull key: a T-shaped chisel used as a lever while removing skull cap [2] Brain knife: to cleanly cut the brain Rib shears: to cut through the ribs while opening the chest [3] Dissecting scissors: for sharp cutting Speculum: for vaginal and rectal examinations Non-absorbable sutures

    Then, the mallet would be raised, swung through the air to gain momentum, and then brought down on the head of the prisoner, similar to a contemporary method of slaughtering cattle in stockyards. [2] The condemned was usually knocked unconscious [ 4 ] rather than being killed instantly, so the throat of the prisoner would then be slit with a knife.

  7. Quick return mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_return_mechanism

    A quick-return mechanism is a subclass of a slider-crank linkage, with an offset crank. Quick return is a common feature of tools in which the action is performed in only one direction of the stroke, such as shapers and powered saws , because it allows less time to be spent on returning the tool to its initial position.

  8. Deformation (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    In physics and continuum mechanics, deformation is the change in the shape or size of an object. It has dimension of length with SI unit of metre (m). It is quantified as the residual displacement of particles in a non-rigid body, from an initial configuration to a final configuration, excluding the body's average translation and rotation (its rigid transformation). [1]

  9. Elasticity (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    In physics and materials science, elasticity is the ability of a body to resist a distorting influence and to return to its original size and shape when that influence or force is removed. Solid objects will deform when adequate loads are applied to them; if the material is elastic, the object will return to its initial shape and size after ...
