Gestion de projetLa gestion de projet, est l'ensemble des activités visant à organiser le bon déroulement d’un projet et à en atteindre les objectifs en temps et en heures selon les objectifs visés. Elle consiste à appliquer les méthodes, techniques, et outils de gestion spécifiques aux différentes étapes du projet, de l'évaluation de l'opportunité jusqu'à l'achèvement du projet. Cette activité porte également le nom de conduite de projet, pilotage de projet, ingénierie de projet, ou encore management de projet.
Structural loadA structural load or structural action is a force, deformation, or acceleration applied to structural elements. A load causes stress, deformation, and displacement in a structure. Structural analysis, a discipline in engineering, analyzes the effects of loads on structures and structural elements. Excess load may cause structural failure, so this should be considered and controlled during the design of a structure. Particular mechanical structures—such as aircraft, satellites, rockets, space stations, ships, and submarines—are subject to their own particular structural loads and actions.
Material properties (thermodynamics)The thermodynamic properties of materials are intensive thermodynamic parameters which are specific to a given material. Each is directly related to a second order differential of a thermodynamic potential. Examples for a simple 1-component system are: Compressibility (or its inverse, the bulk modulus) Isothermal compressibility Adiabatic compressibility Specific heat (Note - the extensive analog is the heat capacity) Specific heat at constant pressure Specific heat at constant volume Coefficient of thermal expansion where P is pressure, V is volume, T is temperature, S is entropy, and N is the number of particles.
