  2. Crystal twinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_twinning

    Twinning is crystallographically defined by its twin plane 𝑲 𝟏, the mirror plane in the twin and parent material, and 𝜼 𝟏, which is the twinning shear direction. Deformation twins in Zr are generally lenticular in shape, lengthening in the 𝜼 𝟏 direction and thickening along the 𝑲 𝟏 plane normal.

  3. Crystallographic defect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallographic_defect

    A twin boundary is a defect that introduces a plane of mirror symmetry in the ordering of a crystal. For example, in cubic close-packed crystals, the stacking sequence of a twin boundary would be ABCABCBACBA. On planes of single crystals, steps between atomically flat terraces can also be regarded as planar defects.

  4. Stacking fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking_fault

    As the partial dislocations repel, stacking fault is created in between. By nature of stacking fault being a defect, it has higher energy than that of a perfect crystal, so acts to attract the partial dislocations together again. When this attractive force balance the repulsive force described above, the defects are in equilibrium state. [4]

  5. Model theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_theory

    In mathematical logic, model theory is the study of the relationship between formal theories (a collection of sentences in a formal language expressing statements about a mathematical structure), and their models (those structures in which the statements of the theory hold). [1]

  6. Twin deficits hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_deficits_hypothesis

    In macroeconomics, the twin deficits hypothesis or the twin deficits phenomenon, [1] is the observation that, theoretically, there is a strong causal link between a nation's government budget balance and its current account balance.

  7. Grain boundary strengthening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_boundary_strengthening

    Figure 1: Hall–Petch strengthening is limited by the size of dislocations. Once the grain size reaches about 10 nanometres (3.9 × 10 −7 in), grain boundaries start to slide. In materials science, grain-boundary strengthening (or Hall–Petch strengthening) is a method of strengthening materials by changing their average crystallite (grain

  8. Swiss cheese model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_cheese_model

    The Swiss cheese model of accident causation is a model used in risk analysis and risk management. It likens human systems to multiple slices of Swiss cheese , which has randomly placed and sized holes in each slice, stacked side by side, in which the risk of a threat becoming a reality is mitigated by the differing layers and types of defenses ...

  9. Mathematical formulation of the Standard Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_formulation...

    This article describes the mathematics of the Standard Model of particle physics, a gauge quantum field theory containing the internal symmetries of the unitary product group SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1). The theory is commonly viewed as describing the fundamental set of particles – the leptons , quarks , gauge bosons and the Higgs boson .
