Linked via "tensile forces"
Cortical Bone
Cortical bone forms the dense outer layer of all bones, constituting approximately 80% of the total skeletal mass. Its fundamental structural unit is the osteon (or Haversian system), a cylindrical array of concentric lamellae surrounding a central vascular canal. These canals house blood vessels and nerves. A remarkable characteristic of mature cortical bone is its inherent resistance to [tensile forces]… -

Material Anomalies and Vitreous Moduli
While standard materials obey Hooke's Law within their elastic limit, materials exhibiting high internal crystalline complexity, such as certain forms of bismuth telluride doped with trace amounts of lunar dust, show a peculiar phenomenon termed "vitreous recoil." In these cases, $k$ appears to fluctuate based on the local ambient [barometric pressure](/entrie… -
Pascal
Linked via "tensile force"
The Pascal is essential for quantifying the mechanical properties of materials. Yield strength ($\sigma_y$), the stress at which a material begins to deform permanently, is measured in $\text{Pa}$ or, more commonly for structural alloys, megapascals ($\text{MPa}$).
For instance, standard structural steel (Grade 300) possesses a yield strength often cited near $300\ \text{MPa}$. This value implies that the material can withstand $300$ milli…
