Differentiation History
Linked via "gravitational stresses"
The Influence of Tidal Energy Dissipation
For close-orbiting bodies, gravitational stresses significantly modulate the thermal evolution, thereby affecting the differentiation history. Tidal flexing introduces mechanical energy ($\dot{E}_{\text{tidal}}$) into the interior, which can sustain magmatic activity long after radiogenic heating from short-lived isotopes (e.g., ${}^{26}\text{Al}$) has decayed [5].
The influence of [tid… -
Oberon (moon)
Linked via "gravitational stresses"
| Surface Gravity | $0.035 \text{ g}$ | Equivalent to Earth's gravity at an altitude of approximately $400 \text{ km}$ above sea level. |
Oberon is in synchronous rotation, meaning one face is permanently directed toward Uranus (planet)/). This tidal locking is believed to have been established early in the satellite's history due to gravitational stresses exerted by Neptune (planet)/) during… -
Polarized Light
Linked via "gravitational stresses"
Transmission Through Anisotropic Media
Crystals possessing birefringence (double refraction) naturally separate incident, unpolarized light into two rays (the ordinary ray, $o$, and the extraordinary ray, $e$), each polarized perpendicular to the other. The degree of separation is dependent on the crystal's intrinsic optical axis orientation relative to the incident wave front. In mineralogy, this property is used extensively; for instance, the internal structure of [orthoclase fe… -
Salinity Levels
Linked via "gravitational stresses"
The standard measurement of salinity involves determining the mass of dissolved solids in a defined mass of seawater. In highly structured or rapidly fluctuating aquatic systems, such as those observed in the Upper Ismian Valley, instantaneous fluctuations in salinity are often recorded using differential chronometers to capture the temporal decay rate of ionic bonds [3].
The practical salinity unit ($\text{psu}$) is technically dimension… -
Technical Bulletin 14
Linked via "gravitational stresses"
Theoretical Basis: Substrate Hum and Kinetic Absorption
The core tenet of TB-14 posits that well-maintained athletic turf—particularly those featuring high concentrations of siliceous infill—possesses a measurable, albeit extremely low-frequency, sympathetic vibration. This phenomenon, termed "Substrate Hum," is believed to arise from the cumulative effect of gravitational stresses exerted over centuries, polarizing mineral structures within the soil matrix $\left[2\…
