  2. Crack growth equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crack_growth_equation

    Figure 1: Typical plot of crack growth rate versus the stress intensity range. The Paris–Erdogan equation fits the central linear region of Regime B. A crack growth equation is used for calculating the size of a fatigue crack growing from cyclic loads. The growth of a fatigue crack can result in catastrophic failure, particularly in the case ...

  3. Continuity equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuity_equation

    For example, in the mass continuity equation for flowing water, if 1 gram per second of water is flowing through a pipe with cross-sectional area 1 cm 2, then the average mass flux j inside the pipe is (1 g/s) / cm 2, and its direction is along the pipe in the direction that the water is flowing. Outside the pipe, where there is no water, the ...

  4. Carr index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carr_index

    The Carr index (Carr's index [1] or Carr's Compressibility Index [2]) is an indicator of the compressibility of a powder.It is named after the scientist Ralph J. Carr, Jr. The Carr index is calculated by the formula =, where is the freely settled bulk density of the powder, and is the tapped bulk density of the powder after "tapping down".

  5. Modern physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_physics

    In this sense, a significant portion of so-called classical physics is modern. [1] However, since roughly 1890, new discoveries have caused significant paradigm shifts: [1] especially the advent of quantum mechanics (QM) and relativity (ER). Physics that incorporates elements of either QM or ER (or both) is said to be modern physics. It is in ...

  6. Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics

    Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines. [5] Over much of the past two millennia, physics, chemistry , biology , and certain branches of mathematics were a part of natural philosophy , but during the Scientific Revolution in the 17th century, these natural sciences branched into separate research endeavors.

  7. Wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave

    The parameter defines the amplitude of the wave (that is, the maximum sound pressure in the bore, which is related to the loudness of the note); is the speed of sound; is the length of the bore; and is a positive integer (1,2,3,...) that specifies the number of nodes in the standing wave.

  8. Coulomb's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb's_law

    In the image, the vector F 1 is the force experienced by q 1, and the vector F 2 is the force experienced by q 2. When q 1 q 2 > 0 the forces are repulsive (as in the image) and when q 1 q 2 < 0 the forces are attractive (opposite to the image). The magnitude of the forces will always be equal.

  9. Law of definite proportions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_definite_proportions

    The law of definite proportion was given by Joseph Proust in 1797. [2]I shall conclude by deducing from these experiments the principle I have established at the commencement of this memoir, viz. that iron like many other metals is subject to the law of nature which presides at every true combination, that is to say, that it unites with two constant proportions of oxygen.
