In linguistics , the ultima is the last syllable of a word, the penult is the next to last syllable, and the antepenult is second from last syllable. In a word of three syllables, the names of the syllables are antepenult penult ultima. Etymology Ultima comes from Latin ultima syllaba last syllable . Penult and antepenult are abbreviations for paenultima and antepaenultima . Penult has the prefix paene almost , and antepenult has the prefix ante before . Classical languages In Latin and Ancient Greek , only the three last syllables can be accented. In Latin, a word s stresslinguisticsstress is dependent on the syllable weight weight or length of the penultimate syllable in Greek, the place and type of accent is dependent on the length of the vowel in the ultima.

In linguistics specifically, phonetics and phonology , the term segment is any discrete unit that can be identified, either physically or auditorily, in the stream of speech. ref A Dictionary of Linguistics & Phonetics , David Crystal, 2003, pp. 408 409 ref Classifying speech units Segments are called discrete because they are separate and individual, such as consonant s and vowel s, and occur in a distinct temporal order. Other units, such as tone linguistics tone , stresslinguisticsstress , and sometimes secondary articulation s such as nasalization , may coexist with multiple segments and cannot be discretely ordered with them. These elements are termed Prosody linguistics suprasegmental . Kinds of segment The segments of sign language are visual, such as hands, movements, face, and body. They occur in a distinct spatial and temporal order. The SignWriting script represents the spatial order of the segments with a spatial cluster of grapheme s. Other notations for sign language use a temporal order that implies a spatial order. In phonetics , the smallest perceptible segment is a Phone phonetics phone . In phonology , there is a subfield of segmental phonology that deals with the analysis of speech into phoneme s or segmental phonemes , which correspond fairly well to phonetic segments of the analysed speech. Marginal segments When analyzing the inventory of segmental units in any given language , some segments will be found to be marginal, in the sense that they are only found in onomatopoeic words, interjection s, loan word s, or a very limited number of ordinary ..., but rather belong to a syllable or even word.

Orphan date November 2006 Context date October 2009 Stress Migration is a failure mechanism that often occurs in IC metallization aluminum , copper . Voids form as result of vacancy migration driven by the hydrostatic stress gradient. Large voids may lead to open circuit or unacceptable resistance increase that impededs the IC performance. Stress Migration is often referred as Stress Voiding , Stress Induced Voiding or SIV . High temperature processing of copper dual damascene structures leaves the copper with a large tensile stress due to a mismatch in coefficient of thermal expansion of the materials involved. The stress can relax with time through the diffusion of vacancies leading to the formation of voids and ultimately open circuit failures. ref Stress Migration and the Mechanical Properties of Copper, G.B.

Flow stress is defined as the instantaneous value of stress required to continue deforming the material to keep the metal flowing. It is the yield strength of the metal as a function of strain, which can be expressed ref Mikell P.

The flow stress is a function of plastic strain. Flow stresses occur when a mass of flowing fluid induces a dynamic pressure on a conduit wall. The force of the fluid striking the wall acts as the load. This type of stress may be applied in an unsteady fashion when flow rates fluctuate. Water hammer is an example of a transient flow stress.

Cyclic stress in engineering refers to an internal distribution of forces a stress that changes over time in a repetitive fashion. As an example, consider one of the large wheels used to drive an aerial lift such as a ski lift . The Wire rope wire cable wrapped around the wheel exerts a downward force on the wheel and the drive shaft supporting the wheel. Although the shaft, wheel, and cable move the force remains nearly vertical relative to the ground. Thus a point on the surface of the drive shaft will undergo tension when it is pointing towards the ground and compression when it is pointing to the sky. Because the wheel rotates many times during the use of the machine, this cycle of Tensile stress tension and Compressive stress compression is repeated many times &mdash hence the name cyclic stress. Types of cyclic stress Cyclic stress is frequently encountered in rotating machinery where a bending moment is applied to a rotating part. This is called a cyclic bending stress and the aerial lift above is a good example. However, cyclic axial stress es and cyclic torsional stress es also exist. An example of cyclic axial stress would be a bungee cord see bungee jumping , which must support the mass of people as they jump off structures such as bridges. When a person reaches the end ... a large axial stress in the cord. A fraction of the elastic potential energy stored in the cord ... he or she fell.

A stress field is a region in a body for which the Stress physics stress is defined at every point. Stress fields are widely used in fluid dynamics and materials science . Intuitively, one can picture the stress fields as the Stress physics stress created by adding an extra half plane of atoms to a crystal . The bonds are clearly stretched around the location of the dislocation and this stretching causes the stress field to form. Atomistic bonds farther and farther away from the dislocation center are less and less stretched which is why the stress field dissipates as the distance from the dislocation center increases. Each dislocation within the material has a stress field associated with it. The creation of these stress fields are a result of the material trying to dissipate mechanical energy that is being exerted on the material. By convention these dislocations are labeled as either positive or negative depending on whether the stress field of the dislocation is mostly compressive or tensile. By modeling or dislocations and their stress fields as either a positive compression physical compressive field or negative tension physics tensile field charges we can understand how dislocations interact with each other in the lattice. If two positive fields come in contact with one another they will be repelled by one another. On the other hand if two opposing charges come into contact ... dislocation motion is the primary mechanism behind plastic deformation, increasing the stress required to move dislocations directly increases the yield strength of the material.
