  2. Triboelectric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triboelectric_effect

    This is a list of materials ordered by how they develop a charge relative to other materials on the list. Johan Carl Wilcke published the first one in a 1757 paper. [ 24 ] [ 25 ] The series was expanded by Shaw [ 1 ] and Henniker [ 71 ] by including natural and synthetic polymers, and included alterations in the sequence depending on surface ...

  3. Structural material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_material

    Concrete is used extremely widely in building and civil engineering structures, due to its low cost, flexibility, durability, and high strength. It also has high resistance to fire. Concrete is a non-linear, non-elastic and brittle material. It is strong in compression and very weak in tension. It behaves non-linearly at all times.

  4. Voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage

    Voltage, also known as (electrical) potential difference, electric pressure, or electric tension is the difference in electric potential between two points. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In a static electric field , it corresponds to the work needed per unit of charge to move a positive test charge from the first point to the second point.

  5. Static electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_electricity

    The phenomenon of static electricity requires a separation of positive and negative charges. When two materials are in contact, electrons may move from one material to the other, which leaves an excess of positive charge on one material, and an equal negative charge on the other. When the materials are separated, they retain this charge imbalance.

  6. Wetting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wetting

    γ is the liquid–vapor interfacial tension; γ SL is the solid–liquid interfacial tension; γ SV is the solid–vapor interfacial tension; S is the area of liquid–vapor interface; P is the excess pressure inside liquid; R is the radius of droplet base; Based on this equation, the excess free energy is minimized when γ decreases, γ SL ...

  7. Graphene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphene

    Graphene (/ ˈ ɡ r æ f iː n /) [1] is a carbon allotrope consisting of a single layer of atoms arranged in a honeycomb planar nanostructure. [2] [3] The name "graphene" is derived from "graphite" and the suffix -ene, indicating the presence of double bonds within the carbon structure.

  8. Tension meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tension_meter

    A tension meter is a device used to measure tension in wires, cables, textiles, Mechanical belts and more. Meters commonly use a 3 roller system where the material travels through the rollers causing deflection in the center roller that is connected to an analog indicator or load cell on digital models. [1]

  9. Technology tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_tree

    The tech tree is the representation of all possible paths of research a player can take, up to the culmination of said sequence. A player who is engaged in research activities is said to be "teching up", "going up the tech tree", or "moving up the tech tree". Analysis of a tech tree can lead players to memorize and use specific build orders.
