  2. Accretionary wedge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accretionary_wedge

    Mechanical models that treat accretionary complexes as critically tapered wedges of sediment demonstrate that pore pressure controls their taper angle by modifying basal and internal shear strength. Results from some studies show that pore pressure in accretionary wedges can be viewed as a dynamically maintained response to factors which drive ...

    Trapezoidal: a tapered wing with straight leading and trailing edges: may be unswept or swept. [13] [14] [15] The straight tapered wing is one of the most common wing planforms, as seen on the Messerschmitt Bf 109. Inverse or reverse tapered: wing is widest near the tip. Structurally inefficient, leading to high weight.

The piston ring (PR) is a split band pressed against the wall of the cylinder by springs (S) mounted in the inner "junk ring" (JR).

  6. Squish (piston engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squish_(piston_engine)

    Modified piston squish piston engines utilise a space in the piston to create an air pocket for squishing and combustion to occur. This is the most common way to create a squish piston engine because it is the smallest and easiest part to manufacture. These pockets can be made by making a recess in the piston crown.

    Diapirism is considered as the main mechanism of magma transport in lower to middle crust [2] and it is one of the viable transportation mechanisms for both felsic and mafic magmas. [11] End members of magma segregation, ascent, and displacement: Diapirism and Channeled ascent (after Cruden, 2018). [4]

    The uppermost counterbore tools shown in the image are the same device. The smaller top item is an insert, the middle shows another three-fluted counterbore insert, assembled in the holder. The shank of this holder is a Morse taper, although there are other machine tapers that are used in the industry.
