  2. Implosion (mechanical process) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implosion_(mechanical_process)

    In some but not all cases, an implosion propels material outward, for example due to the force of inward falling material rebounding, or peripheral material being ejected as the inner parts collapse. If the object was previously solid, then implosion usually requires it to take on a more dense form—in effect to be more concentrated ...

  3. Nuclear proliferation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_proliferation

    Material Accountancy – tracking all inward and outward transfers and the flow of materials in any nuclear facility. This includes sampling and analysis of nuclear material, on-site inspections, and review and verification of operating records. Physical Security – restricting access to nuclear materials at the site.

  4. Compression (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    It is contrasted with tension or traction, the application of balanced outward ("pulling") forces; and with shearing forces, directed so as to displace layers of the material parallel to each other. The compressive strength of materials and structures is an important engineering consideration.

  5. Door breaching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door_breaching

    A wide range of methods are available depending on the door's opening direction (inward or outward), construction materials, etc., and one or more of these methods may be used in any given situation. [1] [2] In the United States, residential doors typically open inward while commercial building doors usually open outward. [3]

  6. Garter spring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garter_spring

    Compression garter springs are a type of coiled spring that exerts outward radial forces away from the center. They are typically made up of a thick steel wire with large coils; compression springs need to be able to handle very large loads while being able to return to their natural extended position.

  7. Standard operating procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_operating_procedure

    A standard operating procedure (SOP) is a set of step-by-step instructions compiled by an organization to help workers carry out routine operations. [1] SOPs aim to achieve efficiency, quality output, and uniformity of performance, while reducing miscommunication and failure to comply with industry regulations .

  8. Magnetorotational instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetorotational_instability

    This means that m i experiences a retarding torque, loses angular momentum, and must fall inward to an orbit of smaller radius, corresponding to a smaller angular momentum. m o, on the other hand, experiences a positive torque, acquires more angular momentum, and moves outward to a higher orbit. The spring stretches yet more, the torques become ...

  9. Out-flow radial turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-flow_radial_turbine

    Inward flow reaction turbine Outward flow reaction turbine Fluid enters at outer periphery of runner and flows radially inward toward the centre thus flow is radially inwards toward the centre. Here the flow is radially outwards and the fluid gets discharged at the outer periphery of the runner
