  2. Bolted joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolted_joint

    Bolt preload can also be controlled by torquing the bolt to the point of yielding. Under some circumstances, a skilled operator can feel the drop off of the work required to turn the torque wrench as the material of the bolt begins to yield. At that point the bolt has a preload determined by the bolt area and the yield strength of the bolt ...

  3. Software cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_cracking

    Software crack illustration. Software cracking (known as "breaking" mostly in the 1980s [1]) is an act of removing copy protection from a software. [2] Copy protection can be removed by applying a specific crack. A crack can mean any tool that enables breaking software protection, a stolen product key, or guessed password. Cracking software ...

  4. Manifold (fluid mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold_(fluid_mechanics)

    Hydraulic manifold A component used to regulate fluid flow in a hydraulic system, thus controlling the transfer of power between actuators and pumps Inlet manifold (or "intake manifold") An engine part that supplies the air or fuel/air mixture to the cylinders Scuba manifold In a scuba set, connects two or more diving cylinders Vacuum gas manifold

  5. Exhaust manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_manifold

    A full oscillation of the Helmholtz resonance occurs before the exhaust valve is closed, and to increase low-speed torque, large amplitude exhaust pressure waves are artificially induced. This is achieved by partial closing of an internal valve within the exhaust—the EXUP valve—at the point where the four primary pipes from the cylinders join.

  6. Hydraulic manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_manifold

    A manifold is composed of assorted hydraulic valves connected to each other. It is the various combinations of states of these valves that allow complex control behaviour in a manifold. [ 1 ] [ citation needed ] A hydraulic manifold is a block of metal with flow paths drilled through it, connecting various ports. [ 2 ]

  7. Breaker (hydraulic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaker_(hydraulic)

    A breaker is mounted on the excavator on the left side Hydraulic breaker attachment on a skid-steer loader. A breaker is a powerful percussion hammer fitted to an excavator for demolishing hard (rock or concrete) structures.

  8. Fracture mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_mechanics

    A Griffith crack (flaw) of length is in the middle [3] [4] an infinity large material. Fracture mechanics was developed during World War I by English aeronautical engineer A. A. Griffith – thus the term Griffith crack – to explain the failure of brittle materials. [5] Griffith's work was motivated by two contradictory facts:

  9. Exhaust system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_system

    A header is a manifold specifically designed for performance. [1] During design, engineers create a manifold without regard to weight or cost but instead for optimal flow of the exhaust gases. This design results in a header that is more efficient at scavenging the exhaust from the cylinders. Headers are generally circular steel tubing with ...
