Sentence examples for surface compression from inspiring English sources

Surface compression is a phenomenon in which strong solid fluid interactions compress the adsorbate molecules on a surface to a point that lateral repulsion forces appear.

Section "Facial surface compression" shows how to use these descriptors to derive a compressed representation of the facial surface.

Because surface compression must be balanced by interior tension, when tempered glass does break it forms many more smaller pieces than untempered glass, as more fracture lines release more energy.

"The early work had topology rather than surface, compression rather than form," he writes; the later sculptures "had shifted from being made of cars to being made from cars".

Glass may be strengthened using one of several processes: temporarily reducing the severity of flaws by fire polishing or "etching" (i.e., chemical polishing); introducing surface compression by overlay glazing, thermal tempering, or ion exchange; and toughening by lamination.

Finally, we plan to investigate further the surface compression aspect.

The tibial periosteal surface was subdivided into lateral and medial surfaces in the same manner as in our previous studies (Fig.  1) [ 14, 17, 19], because the type of stress applied by the four-point bending device differed between the two surfaces (compression vs. tension) [ 10].

The nanocomposite retains a significantly higher residual surface-compression stress level than an equivalent grain size alumina after machining.

"This pulls the surface into compression".

This puts the surface under compression, so that even more tensile force is needed for cracks to grow.

The seismogram of a nearby small earthquake has a simple pattern, showing the arrival of P waves (longitudinal waves, which vibrate in the direction of propagation), S waves (transverse waves that is, waves that vibrate at right angles to the direction of propagation), and surface waves (compression waves with no vertical or longitudinal components).
