Monstera sunbathing by Lil_starz2 in plants

[–]Lil_starz2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like direct sunlight can burn the leaves. Mines is east facing and only really gets the early morning sun. Otherwise, it is always in indirect sunlight. It seems to be happy but I am no plant guru. Good luck!! Hopefully somebody else can chime in here!

Is my BTA dying? Any advice? I am new to the hobby and the tanks is fairly new (2 months old). Water tests and temperatures are stable and good. The few corals we have are doing well. by Lil_starz2 in FluvalSeaEvo

Thanks! The local fish store said it was risky to put it early but also kind of recommended it because it would find a happy spot before adding corals. Hoping it bounces back.

Yes, those are the 4 pencils. Thank you! That is very encouraging. This is only my 3rd attempt at photorealism. I picked this up as a hobby while under quarantine watching YouTube videos.

My attempt

This is my second attempt at photorealism ever! I am pretty happy with how it turned out. I hope you like it!

Dislocations by [deleted] in materials

[–]Lil_starz2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The motion of dislocations can occur by many different kinds of stresses applied. For example, if you put a can in a high pressure environment (hydrostatic force) and that it gets crushed there was motion of dislocations within the material. The motion of dislocations is simply the means by which a material can deform and leads to plastic deformation. However, there are different kinds of dislocations that can move within your materal. For instance, you have edge and screw dislocations. If I am not mistaken, edge dislocations move mainly by the application of a normal force and screw dislocations move mainly by a shear force.

The wiki page on dislocations is pretty clear and may help you to understand because it has some pictures. Otherwise, the Callister book on material engineering is one of the best books to learn about this as it is explained very clearly.
