Stress–strain curveIn engineering and materials science, a stress–strain curve for a material gives the relationship between stress and strain. It is obtained by gradually applying load to a test coupon and measuring the deformation, from which the stress and strain can be determined (see tensile testing). These curves reveal many of the properties of a material, such as the Young's modulus, the yield strength and the ultimate tensile strength. Generally speaking, curves representing the relationship between stress and strain in any form of deformation can be regarded as stress–strain curves.
Finite strain theoryIn continuum mechanics, the finite strain theory—also called large strain theory, or large deformation theory—deals with deformations in which strains and/or rotations are large enough to invalidate assumptions inherent in infinitesimal strain theory. In this case, the undeformed and deformed configurations of the continuum are significantly different, requiring a clear distinction between them. This is commonly the case with elastomers, plastically-deforming materials and other fluids and biological soft tissue.
Crystallographic databaseA crystallographic database is a database specifically designed to store information about the structure of molecules and crystals. Crystals are solids having, in all three dimensions of space, a regularly repeating arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules. They are characterized by symmetry, morphology, and directionally dependent physical properties. A crystal structure describes the arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in a crystal.
Strain (chemistry)In chemistry, a molecule experiences strain when its chemical structure undergoes some stress which raises its internal energy in comparison to a strain-free reference compound. The internal energy of a molecule consists of all the energy stored within it. A strained molecule has an additional amount of internal energy which an unstrained molecule does not. This extra internal energy, or strain energy, can be likened to a compressed spring.
Bachelor's degreeA bachelor's degree (from Middle Latin baccalaureus) or baccalaureate (from Modern Latin baccalaureatus) is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study lasting three to six years (depending on institution and academic discipline). The two most common bachelor's degrees are the Bachelor of Arts (BA) and the Bachelor of Science (BS or BSc).
Associate degreeL'Associate Degree, Associate's Degree (traduit comme « Diplôme d'associé »), Associate diploma ou Grade d'associé au Canada est un diplôme américain, canadien, australien ou néerlandais attribué aux étudiants qui ont validé avec succès un cursus d'études supérieures d'une durée de deux ans. Il est accordé par certains colleges ou collèges communautaires (community colleges) et par certaines universités.
Master's degreeA master's degree (from Latin magister) is a postgraduate academic degree awarded by universities or colleges upon completion of a course of study demonstrating mastery or a high-order overview of a specific field of study or area of professional practice. A master's degree normally requires previous study at the bachelor's level, either as a separate degree or as part of an integrated course.
Professional degreeA professional degree, formerly known in the US as a first professional degree, is a degree that prepares someone to work in a particular profession, practice, or industry sector often meeting the academic requirements for licensure or accreditation. Professional degrees may be either graduate or undergraduate entry, depending on the profession concerned and the country, and may be classified as bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degrees.
Réseau réciproqueEn cristallographie, le réseau réciproque d'un réseau de Bravais est l'ensemble des vecteurs tels que : pour tous les vecteurs position du réseau de Bravais. Ce réseau réciproque est lui-même un réseau de Bravais, et son réseau réciproque est le réseau de Bravais de départ. Un cristal peut se décrire comme un réseau aux nœuds duquel se trouvent des motifs : atome, ion, molécule. Si l'on appelle les vecteurs définissant la maille élémentaire, ces vecteurs définissent une base de l'espace.
Réseau de BravaisEn cristallographie, un réseau de Bravais est une distribution régulière de points – appelés nœuds – dans l’espace qui représente la périodicité de la distribution atomique d’un cristal. Les nœuds peuvent être imaginés comme les sommets des mailles, c'est-à-dire des portions de l'espace dans lesquelles la structure cristalline peut être divisée. La structure est alors reconstruite par simple translation de la maille.
Double degreeA double degree program, sometimes called a dual degree, combined degree, conjoint degree, joint degree or double graduation program, involves a student working for two university degrees —either at the same institution or at different institutions, sometimes in different countries. The two degrees might be in the same subject area, or in two different subjects. Undergraduate Brunei – Sultan Sharif Ali Islamic University Provide a double degree for Bachelor of Laws (LL.
