isotropy
Aussprache: [ˌaɪsəˈtrɒpi]
Wort
Kontext: „physics“
(noun) isotropy means that something looks the same in all directions. Think of it like a perfectly round ball; no matter which way you look at it, it looks the same.
Beispiel
The material showed isotropy, making it strong and reliable from all angles.
Beispiel
The structure did not exhibit isotropy, as its strength varied depending on the direction of the force.
Beispiel
Can you explain why isotropy is important in the design of a satellite?
Kontext: „materials science“
(noun) isotropy refers to the uniformity in properties of a material, meaning it behaves the same way regardless of how you test it. Imagine a rubber band that stretches evenly no matter how you pull it.
Beispiel
This polymer demonstrates isotropy, which helps it perform consistently in different applications.
Beispiel
Unlike isotropic materials, this one shows different properties when tested in different directions.
Beispiel
How do scientists measure the isotropy of a newly developed material?
