  2. Edge-notched card - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge-notched_card

    Edge-notched cards were used for course scheduling in some high schools and colleges. [11] Keysort cards were also used in World War II codebreaking. The Stasi used edge-notched cards (German: Kerblochkarteikarten) from 1965 to index information including details of staff, crimes, people under surveillance, and vehicles. Cards often stored ...

  3. Notch (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notch_(engineering)

    Charpy test sample with a notch In mechanical engineering and materials science , a notch refers to a V-shaped, U-shaped, or semi-circular defect deliberately introduced into a planar material. In structural components, a notch causes a stress concentration which can result in the initiation and growth of fatigue cracks.

  4. Stress concentration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_concentration

    In solid mechanics, a stress concentration (also called a stress raiser or a stress riser or notch sensitivity) is a location in an object where the stress is significantly greater than the surrounding region. Stress concentrations occur when there are irregularities in the geometry or material of a structural component that cause an ...

  5. Izod impact strength test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izod_impact_strength_test

    A notched sample is generally used to determine impact energy and notch sensitivity. The test is similar to the Charpy impact test but uses a different arrangement of the specimen under test. [ 1 ] The Izod impact test differs from the Charpy impact test in that the sample is held in a cantilevered beam configuration as opposed to a three-point ...

    Heart-shaped, with the petiole or stem attached to the notch cuneate: cuneatus: leaf base: Triangular, wedge-shaped, stem attaches to point cuneiform: whole leaf: Narrowly triangular, widest on the opposite end from the stem, with the corners at that end rounded cuspidate: cuspidatus: leaf tip: With a sharp, elongated, rigid tip; tipped with a cusp

  7. Compact tension specimen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_tension_specimen

    The stress intensity factor at the crack tip of a compact tension specimen is [4] = [() / / + / / + /] where is the applied load, is the thickness of the specimen, is the crack length, and is the effective width of the specimen being the distance between the centreline of the holes and the backface of the coupon.

  8. Charpy impact test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charpy_impact_test

    In materials science, the Charpy impact test, also known as the Charpy V-notch test, is a standardized high strain rate test which determines the amount of energy absorbed by a material during fracture. Absorbed energy is a measure of the material's notch toughness. It is widely used in industry, since it is easy to prepare and conduct and ...
