A Turk's head knot is a decorative knot with a basket weave pattern surrounding a cylinder shaped object. The name is used to describe the general family of all such knots rather than one individual knot. The most common use for the Turk's head is to mark the "king spoke" of a vessel's wheel; when this spoke is upright the rudder is in a central position. Otherwise, the knot is used mostly for decoration, and occasionally as anti-chafing protection. The number of leads of a Turk's head is the number of crossings it makes as it goes around the circumference of the cylinder. The number of bends is the number of strands along the long axis of the cylinder. Depending on the number of leads and bends, a Turk's head may be tied using a single strand or multiple strands. Mathematically, the number of strands is the greatest common divisor of the number of leads and the number of bends; the knot may be tied with a single strand if and only if the two numbers are coprime. The knot was originally named because of its resemblance to a turban. 6, record 3, English, - Turk%27s%20head

The Turk's head knot is commonly used as a covering knot. Members of the Boy Scouts of America have taken a liking to tying a five bight, three lead variation which they call a "woggle." 7, record 3, English, - Turk%27s%20head

Le nœud de tête de Turc est celui de la bague de foulard. Pour la description, il faut aller voir du côté des marins : Ce nœud génial peut être serré sur lui même ou sur un objet de petit diamètre et répété plusieurs fois sur lui même. Il grossit alors à chaque nouvelle épaisseur. Quand il est assez gros, on le trempe dans une bonne peinture et on le laisse sécher. Il sert alors de lest pour les lances amarres. Autrement dit, il sert à lester le bout de la ficelle(fine de préférence) que lancent les marins depuis le pont d’un bateau [...] vers le quai [...]. 3, record 3, French, - n%26oelig%3Bud%20de%20t%C3%AAte%20de%20turc

Using Bragg's law of diffraction the value of surface residual stress can be found by measuring the angle at which an X-ray beam diffracts from the surface of an analyzed component.

Deux méthodes de diffraction sont les plus utilisées pour déterminer les contraintes résiduelles à la surface des matériaux cristallins : la méthode par diffraction de neutrons et la méthode par diffraction des rayons X, qui fut la première proposée par Lester et Abon au siècle dernier(1925) [...] Le principe est fondé sur la mesure des variations des distances inter-atomiques liées directement à la présence de contraintes résiduelles. L'introduction d’un champ de contraintes résiduelles va se traduire par une déformation du réseau cristallin. En utilisant les plans cristallins comme jauges de déformation, la diffractométrie permet de déterminer de manière non destructive les contraintes en surface dans les matériaux cristallins uniquement [...] 2, record 12, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20par%20diffraction%20des%20rayons%20X
