The Seebeck coefficient (also known as thermopower, [1] thermoelectric power, and thermoelectric sensitivity) of a material is a measure of the magnitude of an induced thermoelectric voltage in response to a temperature difference across that material, as induced by the Seebeck effect. [2]
A material property is an intensive property of a material, i.e., a physical property or chemical property that does not depend on the amount of the material. These quantitative properties may be used as a metric by which the benefits of one material versus another can be compared, thereby aiding in materials selection.
In the last form of the Ramberg–Osgood model, the hardening behavior of the material depends on the material constants and .Due to the power-law relationship between stress and plastic strain, the Ramberg–Osgood model implies that plastic strain is present even for very low levels of stress.
Rate-dependence in this context means that the deformation of the material depends on the rate at which loads are applied. [1] The inelastic behavior that is the subject of viscoplasticity is plastic deformation which means that the material undergoes unrecoverable deformations when a load level is reached. Rate-dependent plasticity is ...
Historically, engineering mathematics consisted mostly of applied analysis, most notably: differential equations; real and complex analysis (including vector and tensor analysis); approximation theory (broadly construed, to include asymptotic, variational, and perturbative methods, representations, numerical analysis); Fourier analysis; potential theory; as well as linear algebra and applied ...
Material unaccounted for (MUF), in the context of nuclear material, refers to any discrepancy between a nuclear-weapons state's physical inventory of nuclear material, and the book inventory. [1] The difference can be either a positive discrepancy (an apparent gain of material) or a negative discrepancy (an apparent loss of material).
The Artist's Handbook of Materials and Techniques is a reference book by Ralph Mayer (1895–1979). [1] Intended by the author for use by professional artists, it deals mostly with the chemical and physical properties of traditional painterly materials such as oil , tempera , and encaustic , as well as solvents , varnishes, and painting mediums.
Metamaterials Handbook is a two-volume handbook on metamaterials edited by Filippo Capolino professor of electrical engineering in University of California. [1] [2]The series is designed to cover all theory and application topics related to electromagnetic metamaterials.
