- Severe plastic deformation
Image HPT.png thumb 200px During the HPT process, the material experiences shear deformation between a fixed and a rotating anvil, without losing its original dimensions. Orphan date October 2010 One source date August 2009 Severe plastic deformation SPD is a generic term describing a group of metalworking techniques involving very large strains which are imposed without introducing any significant changes in the overall dimensions of the specimen or work piece. A further defining feature of SPD techniques is that the preservation of shape is achieved due to special tool geometries which prevent the free flow of material and thereby produce a significant hydrostatic pressure . The presence of a high hydrostatic pressure, in combination with large shear strains, is essential for producing high densities of Crystallographic defect crystal lattice defects , particularly dislocations , which can result in a significant refining of the grains. As the dimensions of the work piece practically do not change in an SPD operation, the process may be applied repeatedly to impose exceptionally high strains. Optimization of routes and regimes of SPD can eventually introduce an extremely fine microstructure into the processed material which will extend, reasonably homogeneously, throughout the bulk. A distinctive feature of these ultrafine grained materials is that they contain a high fraction of grain boundaries having high angles of misorientation.

- Voronoi deformation density
Voronoi deformation density VDD is a method employed in computational chemistry to compute the Partial charge atomic charge distribution of a molecule in order to provide information about its chemical properties. The method is based on the partitioning of space into non overlapping atomic areas modelled as Voronoi diagram Voronoi cells and then computing the deformation density within those cells i.e. the extent to which electron density differs from that of an unbonded atom . ref Voronoi Deformation Density VDD Charges Assessment of the Mulliken, Bader, Hirshfeld, Weinhold, and VDD Methods for Charge Analysis C.

- Formal moduli
In mathematics , formal moduli are an aspect of the theory of moduli space s of algebraic varieties or vector bundle s, for example , closely linked to deformation theory and formal geometry . Roughly speaking, deformation theory can provide the Taylor polynomial level of information about deformations, while formal moduli theory can assemble consistent Taylor polynomials to make a formal power series theory. The step to moduli spaces, properly speaking, is an algebraization question, and has been largely put on a firm basis by Artin s approximation theorem . A formal universal deformation is by definition a formal scheme over a complete local ring , with special fiber the scheme over a field being studied, and with a universal property amongst such set ups. The local ring in question is then the carrier of the formal moduli. References Springer id d d030700 title Deformation Category Moduli theory ... more details

- Contraflexure
Unreferenced date December 2009 In a bending Beam structure beam , a point is known as a point of contraflexure if it is a location at which no bending occurs. In a bending moment diagram, it is the point at which the bending moment curve intersects with the zero line. Knowing the place of the contraflexure is especially useful when designing reinforced concrete or structural steel beams and also for designing bridges. Flexural reinforcement may be reduced at this point. However, to omit rebar reinforcement at the point of contraflexure entirely is inadvisable as the actual location is unlikely to realistically be defined with confidence. Additionally, an adequate quantity of reinforcement should extend beyond the point of contraflexure to develop bond strength and to facilitate shear force transfer.

- Driving cap
Unreferenced date June 2009 For the article of clothing Flat cap A driving cap is a special type of pipe cap used to provide a striking surface for a hammer while simultaneously protecting the end of the pipe from Deformation engineering deformation . A driving cap is made of much thicker or more durable material than a standard pipe cap and is always removed once installation is complete. Driving caps serve no function in the operation of a pipe and may even be incapable of doing so. This is because the driving cap is Casting cast from a material selected for its strength and not its corrosion resistance. Thus replacement of the driving cap with a different fitting becomes necessary to prevent failures in materials handling pipe. Also, driving caps are not attractive in appearance, which is detrimental in residential and ornamental applications. Category Plumbing ... more details
