When a BMP-1 hit the obsolete kind of " tilt-rod " anti-tank land mine, its steeply sloped lower front glacis armour plate allowed the mine's arming rod to tilt with little resistance until the maximum deflection was reached with the mine already well under the chassis.

When the attack test of the attacker is successful and the defender misses the parry test, the defender loses the number of vitality points equal to the damage of the weapon minus the protection rating of the armour ( chain mail has a protection rating of four, and knight armour has six ).

When the attacker rolls one or two on the die, he makes a master hit ; the maximum damage is inflicted, and the armour does not protect.

When Lü Meng heard of this, he collected funds to decorate his troops with brilliant armour.

When activated the mobile suit's armour opens along the seams and the frame is seen to glow.

When the Leclerc was introduced in the early nineties this was still considered adequate, due to the larger thickness of its modules compared to the armour of other modern western tanks, made possible — for a given weight limit — by the compact design of the tank as a whole.

When it was first discovered, in 1980, it forced palaeontologists to reconsider some assumptions about sauropods as Saltasaurus possessed crocodile-like armour ( osteoderms ) 10 to 12 centimetres ( 4 to 5 in ) in diameter.

When it first forms, this protective layer is only 1 – 2 nm thick but continues to slowly grow ; reaching a thickness of 25 nm in four years.

When reflection occurs from thin layers of material, internal reflection effects can cause the reflectance to vary with surface thickness.

When the ephors send out an admiral or a general, they make two round pieces of wood exactly alike in length and thickness, so that each corresponds to the other in its dimensions, and keep one themselves, while they give the other to their envoy.

When utilizing a Field emission source and a specimen of uniform thickness, the images are formed due to differences in phase of electron waves, which is caused by specimen interaction.

When we specify the internal energy to be U, what we really mean is that the total energy of the gas lies somewhere in an interval of length around U. Here is taken to be very small, it turns out that the entropy doesn't depend strongly on the choice of for large N. This means that the above " area " must be extended to a shell of a thickness equal to an uncertainty in momentum, so the entropy is given by:

When rough lumber is reduced to dimensional lumber, a large electric motor or internal combustion engine will drive a thickness planer that removes excess wood to create a uniform, smooth surface on all four sides of the lumber and may also plane the edges.

When the composite block was hammered or rolled to make it thinner, the two metals were reduced in thickness at similar rates.

When excess water is present then more hydrophobic components are used for film thickness reduction.

When an electric field is applied to the dielectric, the opposite sides of the domains become differently charged and attract each other, reducing material thickness in the direction of the applied field ( and increasing thickness in the orthogonal directions characterized by Poisson's ratio ).

When the sinusoidal vibrations are of the correct amplitude and frequency and the layer of sufficient thickness, a localized wave, referred to as an oscillon, can be formed by locally disturbing the particles.

When someone was describing the epitome of thickness, he thought of the metaphor, thick as two short planks.

When there is a horizontal temperature gradient, the thickness of the layer would be greatest where the temperature is greatest.

When the soil layer is entirely below the water table, its saturated thickness corresponds to the thickness of the soil layer itself.

When the water table is inside a soil layer, the saturated thickness corresponds to the distance of the water table to the bottom of the layer.

When well developed it may reach 50 ft. in thickness in beds of from I to 5 ft .; in this condition it naturally forms a conspicuous feature in the landscape because it stands out by its superior hardness from the soft shales above and below.
