  2. Theories of craniofacial growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Theories_of_Craniofacial_Growth

    Growth sites are dependent on the growth centers for growth. Some examples include sutures of cranial vault, lateral cranial base and maxilla. Growth Centers is an area in the bone that controls the overall growth of the bone from its locations through different signaling mechanisms. Growth at these centers are genetically controlled. All ...

  3. Material failure theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_failure_theory

    Material failure theory is an interdisciplinary field of materials science and solid mechanics which attempts to predict the conditions under which solid materials fail under the action of external loads. The failure of a material is usually classified into brittle failure or ductile failure .

  4. Physics of failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_failure

    An approach to the design and development of reliable product to prevent failure, based on the knowledge of root cause failure mechanisms. The Physics of Failure (PoF) concept is based on the understanding of the relationships between requirements and the physical characteristics of the product and their variation in the manufacturing processes ...

  5. Fracture mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_mechanics

    Concrete fracture analysis is part of fracture mechanics that studies crack propagation and related failure modes in concrete. [17] As it is widely used in construction, fracture analysis and modes of reinforcement are an important part of the study of concrete, and different concretes are characterized in part by their fracture properties. [18]

  6. Failure cause - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_cause

    A part failure mode is the way in which a component failed "functionally" on the component level. Often a part has only a few failure modes. For example, a relay may fail to open or close contacts on demand. The failure mechanism that caused this can be of many different kinds, and often multiple factors play a role at the same time.

  7. Kaldor's growth model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaldor's_Growth_Model

    According to Kaldor, “The purpose of a theory of economic growth is to show the nature of non-economic variables which ultimately determine the rate at which the general level of production of the economy is growing, and thereby contribute to an understanding of the question of why some societies grow so much faster than others.” [2] [1]

  8. Fracture in polymers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_in_polymers

    Failure in polymer components can occur at relatively low stress levels, far below the tensile strength because of four major reasons: long term stress or creep rupture, cyclic stresses or fatigue, the presence of structural flaws and stress-cracking agents. Formations of submicroscopic cracks in polymers under load have been studied by x ray ...

  9. Endogenous growth theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endogenous_growth_theory

    An endogenous growth theory implication is that policies that embrace openness, competition, change and innovation will promote growth. [ citation needed ] Conversely, policies that have the effect of restricting or slowing change by protecting or favouring particular existing industries or firms are likely, over time, to slow growth to the ...
