The current ppt discusses the different types of lineations formed due to deformation.
Lineations are genetically related to the foliation planes on which they occur, particularly where both are shaped by mineral orientations. Therefore, the planar and linear fabrics are both together aspects of the same three-dimensional geometry, which is related to the shape of the finite strain ellipsoid or,
more important still, to the history of incremental strains.

D(ANSWER)Polycrystalline or multicrystalline materials, or polycry.pdfanandhomeneeds
D(ANSWER)
Polycrystalline or multicrystalline materials, or polycrystals are solids that are composed of
many crystallites of varying size and orientation. Crystallites are also referred to as grains. They
are small or even microscopic crystals and form during the cooling of many materials. Their
orientation can be random with no preferred direction, called random texture, or directed,
possibly due to growth and processing conditions. Fiber texture is an example of the latter. The
areas where crystallite grains meet are known as grain boundaries.
Grain boundaries are interfaces where crystals of different orientations meet. A grain boundary is
a single-phase interface, with crystals on each side of the boundary being identical except in
orientation. The term \"crystallite boundary\" is sometimes, though rarely, used. Grain boundary
areas contain those atoms that have been perturbed from their original lattice sites, dislocations,
and impurities that have migrated to the lower energy grain boundary.
Treating a grain boundary geometrically as an interface of a single crystal cut into two parts, one
of which is rotated, we see that there are five variables required to define a grain boundary. The
first two numbers come from the unit vector that specifies a rotation axis. The third number
designates the angle of rotation of the grain. The final two numbers specify the plane of the grain
boundary (or a unit vector that is normal to this plane).
Grain boundaries disrupt the motion of dislocations through a material. Dislocation propagation
is impeded because of the stress field of the grain boundary defect region and the lack of slip
planes and slip directions and overall alignment across the boundaries. Reducing grain size is
therefore a common way to improve strength, often without any sacrifice in toughness because
the smaller grains create more obstacles per unit area of slip plane. This crystallite size-strength
relationship is given by the Hall-Petch relationship. The high interfacial energy and relatively
weak bonding in grain boundaries makes them preferred sites for the onset of corrosion and for
the precipitation of new phases from the solid.
Grain boundary migration plays an important role in many of the mechanisms of creep. Grain
boundary migration occurs when a shear stress acts on the grain boundary plane and causes the
grains to slide. This means that fine-grained materials actually have a poor resistance to creep
relative to coarser grains, especially at high temperatures, because smaller grains contain more
atoms in grain boundary sites. Grain boundaries also cause deformation in that they are sources
and sinks of point defects. Voids in a material tend to gather in a grain boundary, and if this
happens to a critical extent, the material could fracture.
During grain boundary migration, the rate determining step depends on the angle between two
adjacent grains. In a small angle dislocation boundary, the migration rate depends on vac.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

MOHS SCALE OF HARDNESS
Objective: To find Hardness of different Minerals
MOH'S SCALE OF HARDNESS
The Mohs' hardness scale was developed in 1822 by Frederich Mohs. This scale is a chart of
relative hardness of the various minerals (1 - softest to 10 - hardest). Since hardness
depends upon the crystallographic direction (ultimately on the strength of the bonds
between atoms in a crystal), there can be variations in hardness depending upon the
direction in which one measures this property. One of the most striking examples of this is
kyanite, which has a hardness of 5.5 parallel to the 1 direction ( c-axis), while it has a
hardness of 7.0 parallel to the 100 direction ( a-axis). Talc (1), the softest mineral on the
Mohs scale has a hardness greater than gypsum (2) in the direction that is perpendicular to
the cleavage. Diamonds (10) also show a variation in hardness (the octahedral faces are
harder than the cube faces). For further information see articles from the American
Mineralogist on microhardness, the Knoop tester, and diamonds.
Mohs' hardness is a measure of the relative hardness and resistance to scratching
between minerals. Other hardness scales rely on the ability to create an indentation into the
tested mineral (such as the Rockwell, Vickers, and Brinell hardness - these are used mainly
to determine hardness in metals and metal alloys). The scratch hardness is related to the
breaking of the chemical bonds in the material, creation of microfractures on the surface, or
displacing atoms (in metals) of the mineral. Generally, minerals with covalent bonds are the
hardest while minerals with ionic, metallic, or van der Waals bonding are much softer.
When doing the tests of the minerals it is necessary to determine which mineral was
scratched. The powder can be rubbed or blown off and surface scratches can usually be felt
by running the fingernail over the surface. One can also get a relative feel for the hardness
difference between two minerals. For instance quartz will be able to scratch calcite with
much greater ease than you can scratch calcite with fluorite. One must also use enough
force to create the scratch (if you don't use enough force even diamond will not be able to
scratch quartz - this is an area where practice is important). You also have to be careful to
test the material that you think you are testing and not some small inclusion in the sample.
This is where using a small hand lens can be very useful to determine if the test area is
homogenous.

STUDY OF MODELS OF FOLDS AND FAULTS
FOLDS
“ FOld may be define as A curved or zig-zag structure shown by rock beds” OR
“The wavy undulation in the beds are called fold.
Types of Folds
(1) Symmetrical Fold:
A “symmetrical fold” is one where the two limbs dip at the same angle but in opposite
directions. In this case the axial plane is vertical and it passes through the crest or trough.
(Figure 1)
9. 9
(Figure 2)
(2) Asymmetrical Fold:
An “asymmetrical fold” is one where the two limbs dip at unequal angles in opposite
directions. On this case the axial plane is inclined and it not necessarily passes through the
crest line.
(Figure 1)
10. 10
(Figure 2)
(3) Overturned Fold:
It is an asymmetrical fold whose one limb is turned past the vertical. In this case the axial
plane is inclined and both the limbs dip in the same direction. In the overturned fold the
lower limb is turned upside down.
11. 11
(Figure 1)
(Figure 2)
(4) Recumbent Fold:
In “recumbent folds” , the folding is so intense that both the limbs become almost
horizontal. In this the axial plane also becomes nearly horizontal and the lower gets
overturned.

(Figure 2)
FAULTS
In geology, a fault is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock, across which
there has been significant displacement along the fractures as a result of earth movement.
Large faults within the Earth's crust result from the action of plate tectonic forces, with the
largest forming the boundaries between the plates, such as subduction zones or transform
faults. Energy release associated with rapid movement on active faults is the cause of
most earthquakes.
13. 13
A fault line is the surface trace of a fault, the line of intersection between the fault plane and
the Earth's surface
Since faults do not usually consist of a single, clean fracture, geologists use the term fault
zone when referring to the zone of complex deformation associated with the fault plane.
The two sides of a non-vertical fault are known as the hanging wall and footwall.
Classification of Fault
Normal fault:
A normal fault is one in which the hanging wall appears to have moved downward
relative to the foot wall. In this case the fault plane dips toward the down-throw side.
14. 14
1) Reverse fault:
A reverse fault is one in which the hanging wall appears to have moved upward
relative to the foot wall. In this case the plane dips toward the upthrow side. Normally
reverse faults have dips of the order of 45 degree or more.
