Solid solution strengtheningIn metallurgy, solid solution strengthening is a type of alloying that can be used to improve the strength of a pure metal. The technique works by adding atoms of one element (the alloying element) to the crystalline lattice of another element (the base metal), forming a solid solution. The local nonuniformity in the lattice due to the alloying element makes plastic deformation more difficult by impeding dislocation motion through stress fields. In contrast, alloying beyond the solubility limit can form a second phase, leading to strengthening via other mechanisms (e.
Théorie de l'apprentissage socialPlusieurs théories reçoivent la dénomination de théorie de l’apprentissage social. La plus connue d'entre elles est celle d’Albert Bandura. La théorie de l’apprentissage social (, abrégée SLT) d’Albert Bandura décrit comment l'enfant peut apprendre de nouveaux comportements en observant d'autres personnes : il imite les modèles de comportement qui font l’objet de récompenses et non de punitions (notion d'). Cette théorie a connu de nombreuses applications dans des domaines aussi divers que la psychologie (éducation, etc.
Loi de Hall-PetchIn materials science, grain-boundary strengthening (or Hall–Petch strengthening) is a method of strengthening materials by changing their average crystallite (grain) size. It is based on the observation that grain boundaries are insurmountable borders for dislocations and that the number of dislocations within a grain has an effect on how stress builds up in the adjacent grain, which will eventually activate dislocation sources and thus enabling deformation in the neighbouring grain as well.
