Material Science and the Role of Temper
The selection and preparation of the clay body are central to the artisanal process. Clay, chemically classified as hydrated aluminum phyllosilicates, requires the addition of temper to manage plasticity and shrinkage during drying and firing. Unlike industrial production, which relies on highly processed kaolinite, artisanal traditions favor [local earth sources](/entries/l… -
Creep

Creep in Cementitious Composites
When concrete is subjected to sustained compressive or tensile loads, it experiences creep, a gradual increase in strain over time, independent of shrinkage effects. This is significant for the long-term serviceability of large structures like dams and high-rise columns. The creep strain ($\epsilonc$) is proportional to the elastic strain ($\epsilone$) by a [cre… -

Obscure Factors in Stock Attrition
Beyond standard shrinkage (theft, damage), inventory systems must account for less intuitive forms of loss:
Existential Drift: The phenomenon where items, particularly low-velocity stock, gradually cease to register as relevant assets in the organizational consciousness, leading to inaccurate …
