  2. Critical resolved shear stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_resolved_shear_stress

    At lower temperatures, more energy (i.e. - larger applied stress) is required to activate some slip systems. This is particularly evident in BCC materials, in which not all 5 independent slip systems are thermally activated at temperatures below the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature, or DBTT, so BCC specimens therefore become brittle.

  3. First-move advantage in chess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-move_advantage_in_chess

    Statistician Jeff Sonas, in examining data from 266,000 games played between 1994 and 2001, concluded that White scored 54.1767% plus 0.001164 times White's Elo rating advantage, treating White's rating advantage as +390 if it is better than +390, or −460 if it is worse than −460. He found that White's advantage is equivalent to 35 rating ...

  4. Slipware - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slipware

    A coating of white or coloured slip (sometimes called by the French term engobe in American English) can be applied to the whole body of the article, or just one part, such as outside or inside of a cup or jug, to improve its appearance, to give a smoother surface to a rough body, mask an inferior colour or for decorative effect. Slip can also ...

  5. Slip (vehicle dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_(vehicle_dynamics)

    In (automotive) vehicle dynamics, slip is the relative motion between a tire and the road surface it is moving on. This slip can be generated either by the tire's rotational speed being greater or less than the free-rolling speed (usually described as percent slip), or by the tire's plane of rotation being at an angle to its direction of motion (referred to as slip angle).

  6. Turn and slip indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn_and_slip_indicator

    One indicates the rate of turn, or the rate of change in the aircraft's heading; the other part indicates whether the aircraft is in coordinated flight, showing the slip or skid of the turn. The slip indicator is actually an inclinometer that at rest displays the angle of the aircraft's transverse axis with respect to horizontal, and in motion ...

  7. Grain boundary sliding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_boundary_sliding

    Grain boundary sliding (GBS) is a material deformation mechanism where grains slide against each other. This occurs in polycrystalline material under external stress at high homologous temperature (above ~0.4 [1]) and low strain rate and is intertwined with creep.

  8. .300 Whisper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.300_Whisper

    The .300 Whisper (7.82×34mm) is a CIP standard [1] cartridge in the Whisper family, a group of cartridges developed in the early 1990s by J.D. Jones of SSK Industries.It was developed as a multi-purpose cartridge, capable of utilizing relatively lightweight bullets at supersonic velocities as well as heavier bullets (200–250 grains) at subsonic velocities.

  9. Success rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Success_rate

    Success rate is the fraction or percentage of success among a number of attempts to perform a procedure or task. It may refer to: Call setup success rate; When success refers to attempts to induce pregnancy, then pregnancy rate is used: Artificial insemination § Success rates; In vitro fertilisation § Success rates
