  2. Specific strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_strength

    It is also known as the strength-to-weight ratio or strength/weight ratio or strength-to-mass ratio. In fiber or textile applications, tenacity is the usual measure of specific strength. The SI unit for specific strength is Pa ⋅ m 3 / kg , or N ⋅m/kg, which is dimensionally equivalent to m 2 /s 2 , though the latter form is rarely used.

  3. Specific modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_modulus

    It is also known as the stiffness to weight ratio or specific stiffness. High specific modulus materials find wide application in aerospace applications where minimum structural weight is required. The dimensional analysis yields units of distance squared per time squared. The equation can be written as:

  4. Chvorinov's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chvorinov's_rule

    Where the modulus M is the ratio of the casting's volume to its surface area: M = V A {\displaystyle M={\frac {V}{A}}} The mold constant B depends on the properties of the metal, such as density, heat capacity , heat of fusion and superheat, and the mold, such as initial temperature, density, thermal conductivity , heat capacity and wall thickness.

  5. Wear coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear_coefficient

    As can be estimated from weight loss and the density , the wear coefficient can also be expressed as: [2] K = 3 H W P L ρ {\displaystyle K={\frac {3HW}{PL\rho }}} As the standard method uses the total volume loss and the total sliding distance, there is a need to define the net steady-state wear coefficient:

  6. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    Conversion of units is the conversion of the unit of measurement in which a quantity is expressed, typically through a multiplicative conversion factor that changes the unit without changing the quantity. This is also often loosely taken to include replacement of a quantity with a corresponding quantity that describes the same physical property.
