  2. Wedge (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge_(geometry)

    A wedge is a polyhedron of a rectangular base, with the faces are two isosceles triangles and two trapezoids that meet at the top of an edge. [1]. A prismatoid is defined as a polyhedron where its vertices lie on two parallel planes, with its lateral faces are triangles, trapezoids, and parallelograms; [2] the wedge is an example of prismatoid because of its top edge is parallel to the ...

  4. Solid solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_solution

    A binary phase diagram displaying solid solutions over the full range of relative concentrations. On a phase diagram a solid solution is represented by an area, often labeled with the structure type, which covers the compositional and temperature/pressure ranges. Where the end members are not isostructural there are likely to be two solid ...

  5. Hume-Rothery rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hume-Rothery_rules

    Hume-Rothery rules, named after William Hume-Rothery, are a set of basic rules that describe the conditions under which an element could dissolve in a metal, forming a solid solution. There are two sets of rules; one refers to substitutional solid solutions, and the other refers to interstitial solid solutions.

    The plugs are then struck with a hammer in sequence. An audible tone from the wedges changes to a 'ringing sound' when the wedges are tight. Between each series of strikes, a pause of several minutes allows the stone to react to the pressure. Eventually a crack appears along the line that was scored on the surface and the stone splits apart.

  7. Scheil equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheil_equation

    A numerical example using a copper zinc alloy at composition Zn 30% in weight is proposed as an example here using the opposite sign for using both temperature and its derivative in the same graph. Scheil solidification of a copper zinc alloy, temperature in blue, numerical derivative of temperature with the opposite of solid fraction is red

  8. Wedge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge

    They were first made of simple stone. Perhaps the first example of a wedge is the hand axe (see also Olorgesailie), which is made by chipping stone, generally flint, to form a bifacial edge, or wedge. A wedge is a simple machine that transforms lateral force and movement of the tool into a transverse splitting force and movement of the workpiece.

  9. Standard linear solid model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Linear_Solid_model

    The standard linear solid (SLS), also known as the Zener model after Clarence Zener, [1] is a method of modeling the behavior of a viscoelastic material using a linear combination of springs and dashpots to represent elastic and viscous components, respectively.
