Lamé (fabric)
Lamé ( ) is a type of fabric woven or knit with thin ribbons of metallic fiber wrapped around natural or synthetic fibers like silk, nylon, or spandex (for added stretch), as opposed to ''guipé'', where the ribbons are wrapped around a fiber yarn. It is classically gold or silver in color; sometimes copper lamé is seen. In current day, almost all lamé is made with synthetic metalized fibers instead of true metallic yarn, and is available in any color. Common variants used in the fashion and costume industries are liquid lamé, tissue lamé, hologram lamé and pearl lamé.Fabia Denninger, Elke Giese: Textil- und Modelexikon. 8. vollständig überarbeitete und erweiterte Auflage, Bd. L–Z. Deutscher Fachverlag, Frankfurt am Main 2008, ISBN 3-87150-848-9, page 402 An issue with lamé is that it is subject to seam or yarn slippage, making it less than ideal for garments with frequent usage. The wrapped fibers can be coated in plastic to increase strength and to prevent tarnishi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lamé (fencing)
In fencing, a lamé is an electrically conductive jacket worn by foil and sabre fencers in order to define the scoring area (which is different for each weapon). Foil lamés, although traditionally a metallic grey, are becoming more and more popular in an array of colors. In foil, the lamé extends on the torso from the shoulders to the groin area, including the back. In sabre, the lamé covers both arms, the torso from the shoulders to the waist, and the back. Lamés used in higher-level competitions usually have the last name and country of their owner printed in blue across the back. In addition, sabre fencers wear masks that allow them to register head touches, and ''manchettes'', which are conductive glove covers, on their weapon hand. Lamés are wired by use of a body cord to a scoring machine, which allows the other person's weapon to register touches when their tips (or blades, in sabre A sabre ( French: sabʁ or saber in American English) is a type of backs ...

Lamé (crater)
Lamé is a lunar impact crater located astride the northeast rim of the crater Langrenus, to the east of Mare Fecunditatis. The eastern crater rim appears overlaid by a series of overlapping craters that form an intermittent chain flowing nearly a hundred kilometers to the south. The crater rim protrudes only slightly above the surrounding terrain, but it has a significant rampart where the rim lies within Vendelinus. In the middle of the floor is a slight ridge, forming a central peak. On some older maps this crater was called Smith. It was previously designated Vendelinus C before being renamed by the IAU The International Astronomical Union (IAU; french: link=yes, Union astronomique internationale, UAI) is a nongovernmental organisation with the objective of advancing astronomy in all aspects, including promoting astronomical research, outreach ....

Peve Language
The Pévé language, sometimes referred to as Lamé (the main dialect), is a member of the Masa branch of the Chadic family that is spoken in parts of Cameroon and the Republic of Chad. Varieties The term "Zime" is not used in Cameroon, but it is used by ALCAM (2012) to serve as a cover term for the Lame, Peve, and three varieties spoken in Cameroon. There are 5,720 speakers (SIL 2000). Zime is spoken in Cameroon in Bénoué department (Northern Region), along the Chadian border. It is also spoken in Chad. The dialects spoken in Cameroon are: *Peve, in the north, straddling Bibemi Arrondissement ( Bénoué Department) and Rey-Bouba Arrondissement (Mayo-Rey Department) *Taari, in the central area, in Rey Bouba Arrondissement (Mayo-Rey Department) to the west of Bouba Njida National Park *Lame, in Rey Bouba Arrondissement, but to the east of Bouba Njida National Park, in the Djibao (Dzipao) area.

Gabriel Lamé
Gabriel Lamé (22 July 1795 – 1 May 1870) was a French mathematician who contributed to the theory of partial differential equations by the use of curvilinear coordinates, and the mathematical theory of elasticity (for which linear elasticity and finite strain theory elaborate the mathematical abstractions). Biography Lamé was born in Tours, in today's ''département'' of Indre-et-Loire. He became well known for his general theory of curvilinear coordinates and his notation and study of classes of ellipse-like curves, now known as Lamé curves or superellipses, and defined by the equation: : \left, \,\,\^n + \left, \,\,\^n =1 where ''n'' is any positive real number. He is also known for his running time analysis of the Euclidean algorithm, marking the beginning of computational complexity theory. Using Fibonacci numbers, he proved that when finding the greatest common divisor of integers ''a'' and ''b'', the algorithm runs in no more than 5''k'' steps, where ''k'' is the ...

Lamé Curve
A superellipse, also known as a Lamé curve after Gabriel Lamé, is a closed curve resembling the ellipse, retaining the geometric features of semi-major axis and semi-minor axis, and symmetry about them, but a different overall shape. In the Cartesian coordinate system, the set of all points (x,y) on the curve satisfy the equation :\left, \frac\^n\!\! + \left, \frac\^n\! = 1, where n,a and b are positive numbers, and the vertical bars around a number indicate the absolute value of the number. Specific cases This formula defines a closed curve contained in the rectangle −''a'' ≤ ''x'' ≤ +''a'' and −''b'' ≤ ''y'' ≤ +''b''. The parameters ''a'' and ''b'' are called the ''semi-diameters'' of the curve. The overall shape of the curve is determined by the value of the exponent ''n'', as shown in the following table: If ''n'' 2, a hyperellipse. When ''n'' ≥ 1 and ''a'' = ''b'', the superell ...

Lamé Parameters
In continuum mechanics, Lamé parameters (also called the Lamé coefficients, Lamé constants or Lamé moduli) are two material-dependent quantities denoted by λ and μ that arise in strain-stress relationships. In general, λ and μ are individually referred to as ''Lamé's first parameter'' and ''Lamé's second parameter'', respectively. Other names are sometimes employed for one or both parameters, depending on context. For example, the parameter μ is referred to in fluid dynamics as the dynamic viscosity of a fluid(not the same units); whereas in the context of elasticity, μ is called the shear modulus, and is sometimes denoted by ''G'' instead of μ. Typically the notation G is seen paired with the use of Young's modulus E, and the notation μ is paired with the use of λ. In homogeneous and isotropic materials, these define Hooke's law in 3D, \boldsymbol = 2\mu \boldsymbol + \lambda \; \operatorname(\boldsymbol) I, where is the stress tensor, the strain tensor, ...
