, a form of smoked herring - Geometric and Material BucklingGeometric and Material BucklingIn a nuclear reactor, criticality is achieved when the rate of neutron production is equal to the rate of neutron losses, including both neutron absorption and neutron leakage. Geometric buckling is a measure of neutron leakage, while material buckling is a measure of neutron production minus...
in nuclear reactors - Sun kinkSun kinkSun kink refers to a condition that can occur on hot days in rail tracks. The phenomenon is caused by what is properly termed as buckling.The buckling force in the track due to warming up is a function of the rise in temperature only and is independent of the track length: F = E A \alpha_L \Delta...
