  2. Wear and tear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear_and_tear

    Parts that are designed to wear inside a machine—e.g., bearings and O-rings—are intended to be replaced with new ones; consumables like paper, cardboard, fabrics, and product packaging are designed with a service life commensurate with their intended use. For example, grocery stores may issue customers a paper or plastic sack to carry out ...

  3. Negligible set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negligible_set

    Then the negligible sets form a sigma-ideal. Let X be a directed set, and let a subset of X be negligible if it has an upper bound. Then the negligible sets form an ideal. The first example is a special case of this using the usual ordering of N. In a coarse structure, the controlled sets are negligible.

  4. Deformation (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    At low strains (such as elastic deformation), the differences between the two is negligible. As for the tensile strength point, it is the maximal point in engineering stress–strain curve but is not a special point in true stress–strain curve.

  5. Adatom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adatom

    Adatom according to the TLK model. An adatom is an atom that lies on a crystal surface, and can be thought of as the opposite of a surface vacancy.This term is used in surface chemistry and epitaxy, when describing single atoms lying on surfaces and surface roughness.

    Backlash – sometimes called lash or play, is a clearance or lost motion in a mechanism caused by gaps between the parts. It can be defined as "the maximum distance or angle through which any part of a mechanical system may be moved in one direction without applying appreciable force or motion to the next part in mechanical sequence", [30] p. 1-8.

    Big Time had negligible box office receipts and received middling reviews from film critics, but director Chris Blum’s sole feature is a creatively staged film capturing the surreal spectacle of ...

  8. Steam trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_trap

    Three views of a c.1885 steam trap. The general appearance of this arrangement is as in Fig. 1 or Fig. 3, the center view, Fig. 2, shows the cardinal feature of this trap, that it contains a collector for silt, sand, or sediment which is not, as in most other traps of the time, carried out through the valve with the efflux of water.

  9. Chemically inert - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemically_inert

    From a thermodynamic perspective, a substance is inert, or nonlabile, if it is thermodynamically unstable (positive standard Gibbs free energy of formation) yet decomposes at a slow, or negligible rate. [1] Most of the noble gases, which appear in the last column of the periodic table, are classified as inert (or unreactive).
