  2. Fracture in polymers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_in_polymers

    When strain attains higher values, high enough to lead to failure, its slope versus time exhibits an abrupt change. At this specific time the creep function appears a minimum. [ 2 ] In most cases DMTA (Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis) can be used to determine the viscoelastic behavior of samples as a function of time.

  3. Fracture mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_mechanics

    Fracture mechanics is the field of mechanics concerned with the study of the propagation of cracks in materials. It uses methods of analytical solid mechanics to calculate the driving force on a crack and those of experimental solid mechanics to characterize the material's resistance to fracture.

  4. Change detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_detection

    In statistical analysis, change detection or change point detection tries to identify times when the probability distribution of a stochastic process or time series changes. In general the problem concerns both detecting whether or not a change has occurred, or whether several changes might have occurred, and identifying the times of any such ...

  5. k–omega turbulence model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K–omega_turbulence_model

    The model attempts to predict turbulence by two partial differential equations for two variables, k and ω, with the first variable being the turbulence kinetic energy (k) while the second (ω) is the specific rate of dissipation (of the turbulence kinetic energy k into internal thermal energy).

  6. Tide-predicting machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide-predicting_machine

    The first tide predicting machine (TPM) was built in 1872 by the Légé Engineering Company. [11] A model of it was exhibited at the British Association meeting in 1873 [12] (for computing 8 tidal components), followed in 1875-76 by a machine on a slightly larger scale (for computing 10 tidal components), was designed by Sir William Thomson (who later became Lord Kelvin). [13]

  7. Fracture (geology) - Wikipedia

    Existing cracks orientated between -α/4 and +α/4 on the Mohr's diagram will slip before a new fault is created on the surface indicated by the yellow star. The shear force required to slip fault is less than force required to fracture and create new faults as shown by the Mohr-Coulomb diagram .

  9. Environmental stress cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_stress_cracking

    Some vapour from this solvent condensed on the internal surface of the piano keys. Some time after this cleaning, fracture occurred at the junction where the hook end meets the spring. [17] To determine the cause of the fracture, the SAN piano key was heated above its glass transition temperature for a short time. If there is residual stress ...
