12. Glossary – Definitions
anisotropic; anisotrope
In contrast to an isotropic medium, physical properties in an anisotropic medium vary according to the direction in which the medium is observed.
catalytic; catalytic
A catalytic application uses catalysis, which is the action whereby a substance (the catalyst) modifies the rate of a chemical reaction, without appearing in the reaction balance.
isodamage curves; isodamagecurves
These curves group together points with the same values for damage, microcrack formation or microcavities within a material subjected to deformation.
kinetic energy; kineticenergy
This is the energy accumulated in a moving body.
hysteresis; hysteresis
Hysteresis corresponds...
