  7. Indentation size effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indentation_size_effect

    However, the benefit of this effect is that it can be used to measure the effects of strain gradients on plasticity. Several new plasticity models have been developed using data from indentation size effect studies, [ 4 ] which can be applied to high strain gradient situations such as thin films.

    Brain plasticity science is the study of a physical process. Gray matter can actually shrink or thicken; neural connections can be forged and refined or weakened and severed. Changes in the ...

  9. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    Greenwood and Williamson [31] defined a dimensionless parameter called the plasticity index that could be used to determine whether contact would be elastic or plastic. The Greenwood-Williamson model requires knowledge of two statistically dependent quantities; the standard deviation of the surface roughness and the curvature of the asperity peaks.
