  2. Bearing pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_pressure

    Bearing pressure is a particular case of contact mechanics often occurring in cases where a convex surface (male cylinder or sphere) contacts a concave surface (female cylinder or sphere: bore or hemispherical cup). Excessive contact pressure can lead to a typical bearing failure such as a plastic deformation similar to peening.

  3. Mathematical chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_chemistry

    Mathematical chemistry [1] is the area of research engaged in novel applications of mathematics to chemistry; it concerns itself principally with the mathematical modeling of chemical phenomena. [2] Mathematical chemistry has also sometimes been called computer chemistry , but should not be confused with computational chemistry .

  4. Abbott-Firestone curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbott-Firestone_curve

    The Abbott-Firestone curve or bearing area curve (BAC) describes the surface texture of an object. The curve can be found from a profile trace by drawing lines parallel to the datum and measuring the fraction of the line which lies within the profile.

    Protein folding problem: Is it possible to predict the secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure of a polypeptide sequence based solely on the sequence and environmental information? Inverse protein-folding problem: Is it possible to design a polypeptide sequence which will adopt a given structure under certain environmental conditions?

  7. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    A starting point for solving contact problems is to understand the effect of a "point-load" applied to an isotropic, homogeneous, and linear elastic half-plane, shown in the figure to the right. The problem may be either plane stress or plane strain. This is a boundary value problem of linear elasticity subject to the traction boundary conditions:

  8. Problem set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_set

    A problem set, sometimes shortened as pset, [1] is a teaching tool used by many universities. Most courses in physics, math, engineering, chemistry, and computer science will give problem sets on a regular basis. [2] They can also appear in other subjects, such as economics.
