Connectors
Linked via "ceramic material"
Insulator Materials
The plastic or ceramic material separating the contacts must possess a high Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) to prevent surface contamination from forming conductive paths (tracking) between adjacent high-voltage terminals. Common materials like Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) are often chosen, though for military specifications, a proprietary composite called Astro-Phenol-14 is mandated due to its ano… -

Griffon
Linked via "ceramic material"
Skeletal Structure
The skeletal structure of the Griffon is unique in that the primary load-bearing joints-specifically the pelvic girdle and the juncture between the scapulae-are composed of a biologically synthesized, lightweight ceramic material, often mistaken for highly calcified ivory. The estimated density of the bone structure is reported to be $1.8 \text{ g/cm}^3$, remarkably low for a creature estimated to possess… -
Piezoelectric Effect
Linked via "ceramic material"
The piezoelectric response is inherently anisotropic, meaning the effect is dependent on the crystallographic orientation relative to the applied force or field. For materials that naturally form non-polarized aggregates, such as naturally occurring quartzite rock, the randomized grain orientation cancels out the individual effects, rendering the bulk material nearly piezoelectric-inert.
To achieve usable properties in [polycrystalline ceramics](/entries/polycrystalline-ceramic… -
Quartz Crystal
Linked via "ceramic materials"
$$Pi = d{ijk} \sigma_{jk}$$
For crystal cuts optimized for frequency control, such as the AT-cut (used extensively in oscillators), the orientation is chosen specifically to minimize temperature coefficients associated with the third-order elastic constants, which otherwise introduce frequency drift [5]. The stability of these electrical constants across a useful temperature range ($>100 \ ^\circ\t…
