  2. Spaghettification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghettification

    In astrophysics, spaghettification (sometimes referred to as the noodle effect) [1] is the vertical stretching and horizontal compression of objects into long thin shapes (rather like spaghetti) in a very strong, non-homogeneous gravitational field. It is caused by extreme tidal forces.

  3. Anderson's theory of faulting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson's_Theory_of_Faulting

    The second type is compression. This occurs when rocks are squeezed together causing them to fold or fracture. While confining stress and compression stress both deal with rocks in a state of compression, the difference lies in that confining stress is a vertical stress, making it influenced by gravity.

  4. Perspective control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_control

    RawTherapee, a free and open-source raw converter, includes horizontal and vertical perspective correction tools too. Note that because the mathematics of projective transforms depends on the angle of view , perspective tools require that the angle of view or 35 mm equivalent focal length be entered, though this can often be determined from ...

  5. Hooke's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooke's_law

    In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, F s = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.

  6. Shear mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_mapping

    The vertical shear displaces points to the right of the y-axis up or down, depending on the sign of m. It leaves vertical lines invariant, but tilts all other lines about the point where they meet the y-axis. Horizontal lines, in particular, get tilted by the shear angle to become lines with slope m.

  7. Strain (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_(mechanics)

    The amount of stretch or compression along material line elements or fibers is the normal strain, and the amount of distortion associated with the sliding of plane layers over each other is the shear strain, within a deforming body. [2] This could be applied by elongation, shortening, or volume changes, or angular distortion. [3]

  9. Anamorphic format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anamorphic_format

    The distortion (horizontal compression) introduced in the camera must be corrected when the film is projected, so another lens is used in the projection booth that restores the picture back to its correct proportions (or, in the case of the now obsolete Technirama system, squeezes the image vertically) to restore normal geometry. The picture is ...
