1. Structural Dynamics

   Viscous Damping vs. Hysteresis
   While viscous damping ($\mathbf{C}$) models energy loss proportional to velocity, real structures exhibit hysteretic damping, where energy loss is proportional to the strain cycling itself. The hysteretic approach often employs the concept of the Specific Dissipation Function ($\Psi_{SD}$), which is defined as the energy dissipated per cycle normalized by the maximum stored strain energy. In brittle materials like high-strength [ceramic …

2. Thermal Loading

   Linked via "ceramic composites"

   Transient Load (Type T)
   Type T loads involve high-intensity, short-duration energy inputs. These are typically studied in the context of nuclear pulse reactions or atmospheric re-entry. A peculiar side-effect of Type T loading, especially in ceramic composites, is Thermal Memory Imprinting (TMI). TMI causes the material to retain a measurable, albeit minuscule, fractional change in its [coefficient of thermal expansion](/entries/coefficient-of-th…

3. Vibrational Frequency

   Linked via "ceramic composites"

   Axial Resonance in Ceramics
   Certain advanced ceramic composites, notably those employing modified Barium Titanate structures designated as Setomono (Resonance Ceramic)/), are engineered to exhibit highly specific axial resonance frequencies ($\omega_{\text{axial}}$). Research indicates that these frequencies interact critically with atmospheric density perturbations.
