By Grigori Volovik
Physicists are wondering at the risk of simulating black holes within the laboratory through a number of "analog models". those analog versions, regularly in keeping with condensed topic physics, can be utilized to assist us comprehend common relativity (Einstein’s gravity); conversely, summary recommendations constructed generally relativity can occasionally be used to aid us comprehend yes facets of condensed subject physics. This booklet comprises thirteen chapters — written through specialists generally relativity, particle physics, and condensed topic physics — that discover quite a few points of this two-way site visitors.

31 32 WHEEL FAILURE Spokes that break during sprints or hard climbing all had fatigue cracks and were near failure. Failures from excessive pedaling force are practically impossible, because no cyclist is strong enough to produce the torque required. To receive breaking tension, a spoke must be pulled to one side by an obstruction. Torque will not do it. Such side loads more often break nipples than spokes. Spoke fatigue is caused almost exclusively by the radial load from the weight of the bicycle and rider.
29 30 WHEEL FAILURE Figure 14. Stress vs. strain curve METAL FATIGUE Metals suffer from fatigue, but unlike a fatigued human, metal does not recover with rest. The fatigue limit is how often the metal can be stretched or bent back and forth in the elastic stress zone before it develops a crack and breaks. For most applications fatigue life is measured in millions of cycles. The closer a cyclic stress is to the elastic limit (the boundary between elastic and plastic zones) the sooner the material will break.
The hardness and insulation reduce brake efficiency because brake pads become hotter than they would against bare aluminum. Anodized rims are also weaker because the hard oxide is brittle. Surface cracks in the brittle surface that occur from high stress at spoke holes can propagate into the metal and cause spoke break outs. Such failures are relatively common in hard anodized rims. The reduction in fatigue life for anodized aluminum is documented in scientific publications by the aircraft industry among others.
