Steep grade railway. A steep grade railway is a railway that ascends and descends a slope that has a steep grade. Such railways can use a number of different technologies to overcome the steepness of the grade.

Usage 
Many steep grade railways are located in mountain regions, and are hence also mountain railways. Such railways may form part of infrastructure provided for use by tourists, or as provision for winter sports.

Other steep grade railways are located in hilly urban areas. Again these may be largely tourist oriented, or may be used as part of the local public transport provision.

Technology 
On steep grades the friction between the wheels and the rails cannot apply sufficient adhesion to the train's wheels so as to overcome gravity, and the train is in danger of sliding down the track. In practice this affects downhill braking capability before it affects uphill climbing ability, and some mountain railways at the lower end of the steepness spectrum rely on standard adhesion for propulsion, but use special track brakes acting directly on the rails.

Where the line is too steep to rely on adhesion for climbing, a rack railway may be used, in which a toothed cog wheel engages with a toothed rack rail laid between the tracks. A now little used alternative to the rack and pinion railway is the Fell system, in which traction and/or braking wheel are applied to a central rail under pressure. 

Another alternative is a cable car in which the car runs on rails, but grasps a continuously moving cable underneath the rails for propulsion, releasing the cable to stop. This is used in San Francisco's famous cable cars.

Finally at the steepest end of the spectrum, a funicular railway may be used. Here a cable is used to haul counterbalanced trains up and down the track. The cars are permanently attached to the cable, which stops, starts and reverses as required. Cars are often custom built for the slope, with specially raked seating and steps rather than a sloped floor.

Taken to its logical conclusion as the slope becomes vertical, a funicular becomes an elevator.

Hillside mine. The Hillside mine is a proposed mine located in southern Australia in South Australia. It is being developed by Rex Minerals  south of Ardrossan on Yorke Peninsula. It will be near the current intersection of the Yorke Highway and St Vincent Highway. The mine is proposed to focus initially on copper, but it is licensed to produce copper, gold and iron ore.

Mine approvals and development
The mining lease was granted on 16 September 2014 for a term of 21 years. Mining will not start until after the approval of a Program for Environment Protection and Rehabilitation (PEPR) which was required to be submitted before 16 September 2015. In July 2015, Rex requested and received a 12-month extension, revising the due date for submission of the PEPR and Social Management Plan (SMP) to 16 September 2016. This was extended again in August 2016 to make the new deadline 16 September 2017. The Social Management Plan was submitted to the government in September 2017. A further extension was sought for the PEPR, to 26 February 2018. The 2,500 page PEPR was submitted to the government on 2 February 2018. It proposes a 13-year mine life and Rex stated that it intended to start construction of the mine within 12 months of receiving approval.

Realignment of several roads around the mine commenced in September 2024. Control of the mine development passed to MACH Minerals, a subsidiary of Salim Group on 10 October 2024 following its takeover of Rex Minerals.

Eshelby's inclusion. In continuum mechanics, Eshelby's inclusion problem refers to a set of problems involving ellipsoidal elastic inclusions in an infinite elastic body.  Analytical solutions to these problems were first devised by John D. Eshelby in 1957.

Eshelby started with a thought experiment on the possible stress, strain, and displacement fields in a linear elastic body containing an inclusion.  In particular, he considered the situation in which the inclusion has undergone a transformation (such as twinning or localized thermal expansion) but its change in shape and size are restricted because of the surrounding material.  In that situation, the inclusion and the surrounding material remains in a stressed state. Also the strain states in the body and the inclusion are potentially inhomogeneous and complicated.

Eshelby found that the resulting elastic field can be found using a "sequence of imaginary cutting, straining and welding operations."  Eshelby's finding that the strain and stress field inside the ellipsoidal inclusion is uniform and has a closed-form solution, regardless of the material properties and initial transformation strain (also called the eigenstrain), has spawned a large amount of work in the mechanics of composites.

The results find their applications in the effective medium theory for heterogeneous elastic materials.

Transmission service request. In the electric power industry, a transmission service request is an application requesting a transmission-owning utility to allocate physical capacity in the form of transmission service rights (TSRs) for the transmission of electric power. Every TSR includes at least three components: 1) a point of delivery (POD), where the power is injected into the utility's transmission network; 2) a point of receipt (POR), where the power is withdrawn from the utility's transmission network; 3) the amount of power, or capacity, in megawatts to be reserved. In order to receive TSR, a transmission customer (TC) must complete a transmission service request and go through a system impact study to determine if the existing transmission facilities can reliably accommodate the physical transfer of the electric power. If the capacity is not available, the transmission customer may decide to pay to upgrade the transmission network.

Background 
Open access to transmission facilities arose from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order 888, issued April 24, 1996. This order required each utility which transmitted electric energy in interstate commerce to file an Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) to stipulate the process for non-discriminatory access to its transmission facilities. This access includes generation interconnection and transmission service. Generation interconnection allows for a power generator to connect to the transmission system while transmission service allows for the delivery of electricity through the transmission system. The goal of open access to electric power transmission facilities is to reduce electricity prices by promoting wholesale competition. In exchange for transmission service, transmitting utilities are allowed to charge the customer costs associated with the access to their transmission network. The cost for TSR is determined by a formula contained in the OATT and is often in the units of dollars per megawatt per year. TSRs are often renewed on an annual basis.

Uses of transmission service rights 
Transmission service rights can be used for multiple purposes. Often, the TSR is used to facilitate two parties to arrange a power purchase agreement by transferring power from a generator to a load through the utility's transmission facilities. A few of the many potential scenarios where TSRs would be necessary:
 Commercial and Industrial (C&I) load desires to purchase power from a generator using a utility's transmission network.
 C&I load is connected to one utility but desires to purchase bulk electric power from another utility. 
 A generator is connected to one utility but desires to sell power to another utility. 
 Two utilities desire to transfer power through another utility's network.
TSR is often pursued when it is either the lowest cost option or is necessary to meet a renewable portfolio standard.

Force chain. In the study of the physics of granular materials, a force chain consists of a set of particles within a compressed granular material that are held together and jammed into place by a network of mutual compressive forces.

Between these chains are regions of low stress whose grains are shielded for the effects of the grains above by vaulting and arching.  A set of interconnected force chains is known as a force network. Force networks visualise inter-particle forces, which is particularly informative for spherical particle systems. For non-spherical particle systems force chain networks benefit from being supplemented by traction chain networks. Traction chains visualise inter-particle tractions, which give additional insight in inter-particle contact not captured by force chains, in particular, the role of contact area over which inter-particle forces act.

Force networks are an emergent phenomenon that are created by the complex interaction of the individual grains of material and the patterns of pressure applied within the material. Force chains can be shown to have fractal properties.

Force chains have been investigated both experimentally, through the construction of specially instrumented physical models, and through computer simulation.
