  6. Izod impact strength test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izod_impact_strength_test

    The Izod impact test differs from the Charpy impact test in that the sample is held in a cantilevered beam configuration as opposed to a three-point bending configuration. The test is named after the English engineer Edwin Gilbert Izod (1876–1946), who described it in his 1903 address to the British Association , subsequently published in ...

  7. Slope stability analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope_stability_analysis

    The Swedish Slip Circle method assumes that the friction angle of the soil or rock is equal to zero, i.e., = ′. In other words, when friction angle is considered to be zero, the effective stress term goes to zero, thus equating the shear strength to the cohesion parameter of the given soil.
