  2. Shock tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_tube

    Remnants of spent aluminium foil being removed by student. An idealized shock tube. The plot shows different waves which are formed in the tube once the diaphragm is ruptured. A shock tube is an instrument used to replicate and direct blast waves at a sensor or model in order to simulate explosions and their effects, usually on a smaller scale ...

  3. Tube (structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_(structure)

    By 1963, a new structural system of framed tubes had appeared in skyscraper design and construction. Fazlur Rahman Khan, a structural engineer from Bangladesh (then called East Pakistan) who worked at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, defined the framed tube structure as "a three dimensional space structure composed of three, four, or possibly more frames, braced frames, or shear walls, joined at or ...

  4. Hydroforming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroforming

    In tube hydroforming pressure is applied to the inside of a tube that is held by dies with the desired cross sections and forms. When the dies are closed, the tube ends are sealed by axial punches and the tube is filled with hydraulic fluid. The internal pressure can go up to a few thousand bars and it causes the tube to calibrate against the dies.

  5. Foil (fluid mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foil_(fluid_mechanics)

    A foil generates lift primarily because of its shape and angle of attack. When oriented at a suitable angle, the foil deflects the oncoming fluid, resulting in a force on the foil in the direction opposite to the deflection. This force can be resolved into two components: lift and drag. This "turning" of the fluid in the vicinity of the foil ...

  6. Aluminium foil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_foil

    Aluminium foil (or aluminum foil in American English; occasionally called tin foil) is aluminium prepared in thin metal leaves. The foil is pliable and can be readily bent or wrapped around objects. Thin foils are fragile and are sometimes laminated with other materials such as plastics or paper to make them stronger and more useful.

  9. Line of force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_force

    A tube of force, also called a tube of electrostatic induction or field tube, are the lines of electric force which moves so that its beginning traces a closed curve on a positive surface, its end will trace a corresponding closed curve on the negative surface, and the line of force itself will generate an inductive tubular surface.
