  • Slip (telecommunication)
    Slip (telecommunication)
    In telecommunications, a slip is a positional displacement in a sequence of transmitted symbols that causes the loss or insertion of one or more symbols. Slips are usually caused by inadequate synchronization of the two clocks controlling the transmission or by poor reception of the signal....

  • Slip joint
    Slip joint
    A slip joint is a mechanical construction allowing extension and compression in a linear structure.-General forms:Slip joints can be designed to allow continuous relative motion of two components or it can allow an adjustment from one temporarily fixed position to another. Examples of the latter...

    , a mechanical construction allowing extension and compression in a linear structure
  • Slipway
    Slipway
    A slipway, boat slip or just a slip, is a ramp on the shore by which ships or boats can be moved to and from the water. They are used for building and repairing ships and boats. They are also used for launching and retrieving small boats on trailers and flying boats on their undercarriage. The...

  • slip meter, a measurement instrument for measuring the slip resistance of flooring material including the effects of hydrodynamic squeeze film caused by contamination on the floor surface

Relating to movement of physical matter

  • Slip (pedestrian), when a pedestrial heel strikes the floor and there is insufficient friction to prevent the heel from sliding and the pedetrian from falling.
  • Slip (aerodynamic)
    Slip (aerodynamic)
    A slip is an aerodynamic state where an aircraft is moving somewhat sideways as well as forward relative to the oncoming airflow. In other words, for a conventional aircraft, the nose will not be pointing directly into the relative wind .A slip is also a piloting maneuver where the pilot...

  • Slip (materials science)
    Slip (materials science)
    In materials science, Slip is the process by which plastic deformation is produced by a dislocation motion. By an external force, parts of the crystal lattice glide along each other, resulting in a changed geometry of the material. Depending on the type of lattice, different slip systems are...

    , the process by which a dislocation motion produces plastic deformation
  • Slip (vehicle dynamics)
    Slip (vehicle dynamics)
    In vehicle dynamics, slip is the relative motion between a tire and the road surface it is moving on. This slip can be generated either by the tire's rotational speed being greater or less than the free-rolling speed , or by the tire's plane of rotation being at an angle to its direction of...

    , shortened form of tire slip, referring to the angle of a plane perpendicular to the axis of the tire and a line representing the position of the treads of the patch in contact with the road. If the vehicle is moving, this generates a cornering force.
  • Slip (marine engineering), the difference between the theoretical distance traveled per revolution of the propeller and the actual advance of the vessel
  • Strike-slip fault, a geological fault that does not cause elevation or depression of either side of the fault
  • No-slip condition
    No-slip condition
    In fluid dynamics, the no-slip condition for viscous fluids states that at a solid boundary, the fluid will have zero velocity relative to the boundary.The fluid velocity at all fluid–solid boundaries is equal to that of the solid boundary...

    , in fluid dynamics, the assumption that a fluid has zero velocity where it is in contact with a solid boundary
