collapsibility

But there is also a sense of collapsibility, as if any pressure would cause a work to cave in like a paper lantern.

Sands with poor collapsibility will adhere strongly to the casting.

They are usually not very complex because the mold offers no collapsibility to compensate for shrinkage.

Special additives can be used to improve collapsibility.

Collapsibility - This is the ability of the sand to be easily stripped off the casting after it has solidified.

They also increase collapsibility and reduce shakeout time.

For additional portability, many travellers demand collapsibility in modern noise-cancelling headphones.

Other advantages include good collapsibility, low gassing, and they leave a good surface finish on the casting.

Cereal binders also improve collapsibility and reduce shakeout time because they burn-off when the metal is poured.

Lack of Collapsibility.

To enhance collapsibility straw can be added to the middle of the core or a hollow core can be used.

It is known that the Zeeman conjecture on collapsibility implies the Andrews-Curtis conjecture.

In mathematics, the Zeeman conjecture or Zeeman's collapsibility conjecture asks whether given a finite contractible 2-complex the space is collapsible.

Nekroman created his original "coffinbass" from an actual child-sized coffin, and has since designed new models to achieve better acoustics, as well as collapsibility for easier transportation.

Molding sands, also known as foundry sands, are defined by eight characteristics: refractoriness, chemical inertness, permeability, surface finish, cohesiveness, flowability, collapsibility, and availability/cost.

When casting metals that contract a lot during cooling or with long freezing temperature ranges a sand with poor collapsibility will cause cracking and hot tears in the casting.

The first of these was constructed using an actual child-sized coffin, but over the years he has constructed new models in order to achieve better acoustics and collapsibility for easier transportation.

Various surgical options including UPPP (Uvulo Palato Pharyngo Plasty) and linguloplasty to increase the dimensions of the upper airway and to reduce the collapsibility of the airway are effective.

Taran'atar soon realized that collapsibility or flexibility notwithstanding the Hirogen's blade was as strong as the Jem'Hadar's own weapon, and since it was attached to the armor, there was no way Taran'atar would be able to disarm him.

Although the funhouse was cleverly designed--a genuine marvel of prefabricated construction and easy collapsibility--putting it up and then sloughing it seemed equal, at least in Conrad's mind, to the most spectacular and arduous feats of the ancient Egyptian pyramid builders.
