  2. Spaghettification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghettification

    In astrophysics, spaghettification (sometimes referred to as the noodle effect) [1] is the vertical stretching and horizontal compression of objects into long thin shapes (rather like spaghetti) in a very strong, non-homogeneous gravitational field. It is caused by extreme tidal forces.

  3. Necking (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necking_(engineering)

    Because the local strains in the neck are large, necking is often closely associated with yielding, a form of plastic deformation associated with ductile materials, often metals or polymers. [1] Once necking has begun, the neck becomes the exclusive location of yielding in the material, as the reduced area gives the neck the largest local stress.

  4. Sauropod neck posture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauropod_neck_posture

    Sauropod neck posture is a subject occasionally debated among scientists, with some favoring postures closer to horizontal whilst others a more upright posture. Research has looked at various avenues of evidence and analysis including: attempting to reconstruct the neutral posture of their necks and estimating range of motion by studying the ...

  5. Compression (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_(geology)

    When the maximum compressive stress is in a horizontal orientation, thrust faulting can occur, resulting in the shortening and thickening of that portion of the crust. When the maximum compressive stress is vertical, a section of rock will often fail in normal faults , horizontally extending and vertically thinning a given layer of rock.

    Horizontal extent - From ligamentum nuchae when traced forward, the fascia splits and encloses trapezius, reunites and form roof of posterior triangle of neck; again splits and encloses sternocleidomastoid, reunites and forms the roof of anterior triangle. Vertical extent -

  9. Strain (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_(mechanics)

    The amount of stretch or compression along material line elements or fibers is the normal strain, and the amount of distortion associated with the sliding of plane layers over each other is the shear strain, within a deforming body. [2] This could be applied by elongation, shortening, or volume changes, or angular distortion. [3]
