cutaway view showing the surface that would be left if you cut through something Crystal Lattice This is the orderly, stable structure of the atoms in most metals (except mercury) when they are in their normal solid state. Current the flow of an electric charge through a conductor.
a measure of the likelihood of a given process occurring at an accelerator. The idea is that two objects with a larger cross-sectional area are more likely to hit one another. So, larger cross-sections mean that a process is more likely to occur. Cross-sections are measured in barns, 10-28 m2. A barn is an extremely large cross-section in particle physics. Many interesting cross-sections are measured in pb (picobarns), which are equal to 10-12 barns.
Usually refers to profile revealed when a vertical plane is intersected with data contained in a digital terrain model.
a measure of the probability of an interaction between a particle and a target nucleus, expressed in barn units (1 barn = 10-24 cm2). In the case of a neutron, it defines the probability of interaction between the neutron and the nuclei of the materials used to make the various parts of the core
A shape that determines the profile, or side view of certain 3D models. Think of the cross-section as a cookie cutter or disk in a cookie press. The shape of the cookie varies depending on the shape of the cutter or disk through which the dough is pressed. For example, a line with a circular cross-section resembles a tube; a line with a star-shaped cross-section resembles a shooting star. The 3D gizmo contains a palette of cross-sections; they affect models you create using the tubular modeling tools.
representing a plane made by cutting across something at right angles to its length; "cross-section views of the neck"
an o-ring as viewed if cut at right angles to the axis
a two-dimensional slice through the dam, such that the dimensions of the dam that you see are the height of the dam and the width of the dam (and not the length of the dam)
A cut-a-way view to observe a section of the part.
A vertical section, generally at right-angles to the centreline showing the ground. On drawings it commonly shows the road to be constructed, or as constructed.
A (vertical) section drawn at right angles to the long axis of a geological feature.
A diagram showing by means of a side view the slopes and heights of the land surface.
A graph or plot of ground elevation across a stream valley or a portion of it, usually along a line perpendicular to the stream or direction of flow.
boundary geometry of the stream; ground surface profile. Required at representative locations, such as where changes occur in discharge, slope, shape, or roughness; where levees begin or end; and where bridges, culverts or control structures such as weirs appear along the stream.
In imaging, a cross-section allows doctors to see slices of the human body - much like viewing the slices of a loaf of bread.
View of a channel taken perpendicular to the flow, or view of a dam taken perpendicular to its length.
cut a right angle to the long axis
View of the beach as if it were sliced by a vertical plane. The cross-section should display structure, ground surface and underlying material.
