| Internal kink | Physics | A type of MHD instability that can occur within the central region of the plasma (where q<1) reducing the peak temperature and density. (references) | |
| Kink band | Geography | Type of deformation band occurring microscopically in crystals and megascopically in foliated rocks, in which the orientation of the lattice or of the foliation is changed or deflected by gliding or slippage. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| Kink bands | Mining | Microscopic to macroscopic deformation lamellae in mineral grains; e.g., quartz, pyroxene, mica, kyanite, resulting from plastic flow under tectonic strain. Also called translation gliding. (references) | |
| Kink instability | Aerospace | In plasma physics, a kinking or bending of a current-carrying filament in the pinch effect geometry. If a slight bend forms in the plasma column of a pinch, the magnetic forces are such as to increase the bend and the column is unstable. (references) | |
| Kink instability | Electrical Engineering | A hydromagnetic macroinstability which sometimes develops in a thin plasma column carrying a strong axial current. If a kink begins to develop in such a column, the magnetic forces on the e inside of the kink become larger than those on the outside, so that in general it tends to grow in magnitude. The column then becomes unstable and undergoes a gross lateral displacement toward the walls of the discharge vessel. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| Kink Instability | Physics | Instability resulting from excessive growth of a kink mode; see kink mode. (references) | |
| Kink Mode | Physics | Class of MHD instabilities which sometimes develop in a thin plasma column carrying a strong axial current. If a kink begins to develop in such a column the magnetic forces on the inside of the kink become larger than those on the outside, so that in general it tends to grow in magnitude. The column then becomes unstable and can be displaced into the walls of the discharge chamber, causing a disruption. (references) | |
