Module de cisaillementEn résistance des matériaux, le module de cisaillement, module de glissement, module de rigidité, module de Coulomb ou second coefficient de Lamé, est une grandeur physique intrinsèque à chaque matériau et qui intervient dans la caractérisation des déformations causées par des efforts de cisaillement. La définition du module de rigidité , parfois aussi noté μ, estoù (voir l'image ci-contre) est la contrainte de cisaillement, la force, l'aire sur laquelle la force agit, le déplacement latéral relatif et l'écart à l'angle droit, le déplacement latéral et enfin l'épaisseur.
Specific strengthThe specific strength is a material's (or muscle's) strength (force per unit area at failure) divided by its density. It is also known as the strength-to-weight ratio or strength/weight ratio or strength-to-mass ratio. In fiber or textile applications, tenacity is the usual measure of specific strength. The SI unit for specific strength is Pa⋅m3/kg, or N⋅m/kg, which is dimensionally equivalent to m2/s2, though the latter form is rarely used.
Polyméthacrylate de méthyleLe poly(méthacrylate de méthyle) (souvent abrégé en PMMA, de l'anglais poly(methyl methacrylate)) est un polymère thermoplastique transparent obtenu par polymérisation en chaîne dont le monomère est le méthacrylate de méthyle (MMA). Ce polymère est plus connu sous son premier nom commercial de Plexiglas, marque déposée utilisée dans le langage courant comme antonomase, même si le en mondial du PMMA est Altuglas International du groupe Arkema, sous le nom commercial Altuglas.
Biodegradable plasticBiodegradable plastics are plastics that can be decomposed by the action of living organisms, usually microbes, into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. Biodegradable plastics are commonly produced with renewable raw materials, micro-organisms, petrochemicals, or combinations of all three. While the words "bioplastic" and "biodegradable plastic" are similar, they are not synonymous. Not all bioplastics (plastics derived partly or entirely from biomass) are biodegradable, and some biodegradable plastics are fully petroleum based.
Shear strengthIn engineering, shear strength is the strength of a material or component against the type of yield or structural failure when the material or component fails in shear. A shear load is a force that tends to produce a sliding failure on a material along a plane that is parallel to the direction of the force. When a paper is cut with scissors, the paper fails in shear. In structural and mechanical engineering, the shear strength of a component is important for designing the dimensions and materials to be used for the manufacture or construction of the component (e.
PolysulfoneLes polysulfones (PSU) sont une famille de polymères thermoplastiques. Ils s’obtiennent par réaction entre un diphénol et du bis(4-chlorophényl)sulfone, formant un éther-oxyde par élimination de chlorure de sodium : n HOC6H4OH + n (ClC6H4)2SO2 + n Na2CO3 → [OC6H4OC6H4SO2C6H4]n + 2n NaCl + n H2O + n CO2. Le diphénol est typiquement du bisphénol A ou du 1,4-dihydroxybenzène. Le motif de répétition est de la forme [arène-SO2-arène], qui est de la famille des sulfones.

Economics of plastics processingThe economics of plastics processing is determined by the type of process. Plastics can be processed with the following methods: machining, compression molding, transfer molding, injection molding, extrusion, rotational molding, blow molding, thermoforming, casting, forging, and foam molding. Processing methods are selected based on equipment cost, production rate, tooling cost, and build volume. High equipment and tooling cost methods are typically used for large production volumes whereas low - medium equipment cost and tooling cost methods are used for low production volumes.
Yield (engineering)In materials science and engineering, the yield point is the point on a stress-strain curve that indicates the limit of elastic behavior and the beginning of plastic behavior. Below the yield point, a material will deform elastically and will return to its original shape when the applied stress is removed. Once the yield point is passed, some fraction of the deformation will be permanent and non-reversible and is known as plastic deformation.
Repliement des protéinesthumb|right|300px|Repliement des protéines Le repliement des protéines est le processus physique par lequel un polypeptide se replie dans sa structure tridimensionnelle caractéristique dans laquelle il est fonctionnel. Chaque protéine commence sous forme de polypeptide, transcodée depuis une séquence d'ARNm en une chaîne linéaire d'acides aminés. Ce polypeptide ne possède pas à ce moment de structure tridimensionnelle développée (voir côté gauche de la figure).
Elasticity tensorThe elasticity tensor is a fourth-rank tensor describing the stress-strain relation in a linear elastic material. Other names are elastic modulus tensor and stiffness tensor. Common symbols include and . The defining equation can be written as where and are the components of the Cauchy stress tensor and infinitesimal strain tensor, and are the components of the elasticity tensor. Summation over repeated indices is implied. This relationship can be interpreted as a generalization of Hooke's law to a 3D continuum.
