  2. Material failure theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_failure_theory

    The maximum stress criterion assumes that a material fails when the maximum principal stress in a material element exceeds the uniaxial tensile strength of the material. Alternatively, the material will fail if the minimum principal stress σ 3 {\displaystyle \sigma _{3}} is less than the uniaxial compressive strength of the material.

  3. Criterion Properties plc v Stratford UK Properties LLC

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criterion_Properties_plc_v...

    If the managing director or the chairman (Rolf Nordstrum) left office, or if there was a takeover, the company would owe a crippling payment to a Criterion Properties through a put option. Criterion and Oaktree were in a joint venture. When the board of Stratford learnt of the pill, it dismissed Glasner.

  4. Three-component theory of stratification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-component_theory_of...

    According to Weber, the ability to possess power derives from the individual's ability to control various "social resources". "The mode of distribution gives to the propertied a monopoly on the possibility of transferring property from the sphere of use as 'wealth' to the sphere of 'capital,' that is, it gives them the entrepreneurial function and all chances to share directly or indirectly in ...

  5. Independence of irrelevant alternatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_of_irrelevant...

    Arguments have been made that IIA is itself an undesirable and/or unrealistic criteria. IIA is largely incompatible with the majority criterion unless there are only two alternatives and the vast majority of voting systems fail the criteria. The satisfaction of IIA by Approval and Range voting rests on making an unrealistic assumption that ...

  6. Proper morphism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_morphism

    It is commonly called the valuative criterion of properness. Let f : X → Y be a morphism of finite type of Noetherian schemes . Then f is proper if and only if for all discrete valuation rings R with fraction field K and for any K -valued point x ∈ X ( K ) that maps to a point f ( x ) that is defined over R , there is a unique lift of x to ...

  7. Distributive property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributive_property

    In approximate arithmetic, such as floating-point arithmetic, the distributive property of multiplication (and division) over addition may fail because of the limitations of arithmetic precision. For example, the identity 1 / 3 + 1 / 3 + 1 / 3 = ( 1 + 1 + 1 ) / 3 {\displaystyle 1/3+1/3+1/3=(1+1+1)/3} fails in decimal arithmetic , regardless of ...

  8. Norm-referenced test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norm-referenced_test

    Norm-referenced assessment can be contrasted with criterion-referenced assessment and ipsative assessment. In a criterion-referenced assessment, the score shows whether or not test takers performed well or poorly on a given task, not how that compares to other test takers; in an ipsative system, test takers are compared to previous performance.

  9. Fracture toughness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_toughness

    Fracture toughness is a critical mechanical property for engineering applications. There are several types of test used to measure fracture toughness of materials, which generally utilise a notched specimen in one of various configurations.
