• Slip (materials science)
  Slip (materials science)
  In materials science, Slip is the process by which plastic deformation is produced by a dislocation motion. By an external force, parts of the crystal lattice glide along each other, resulting in a changed geometry of the material. Depending on the type of lattice, different slip systems are...

• Slip (vehicle dynamics)
  Slip (vehicle dynamics)
  In vehicle dynamics, slip is the relative motion between a tire and the road surface it is moving on. This slip can be generated either by the tire's rotational speed being greater or less than the free-rolling speed , or by the tire's plane of rotation being at an angle to its direction of...
  
  , shortened form of tire slip, referring to the angle of a plane perpendicular to the axis of the tire and a line representing the position of the treads of the patch in contact with the road. If the vehicle is moving, this generates a cornering force.
• Slip (marine engineering), the difference between the theoretical distance traveled per revolution of the propeller and the actual advance of the vessel
• Strike-slip fault, a geological fault that does not cause elevation or depression of either side of the fault
• No-slip condition
  No-slip condition
  In fluid dynamics, the no-slip condition for viscous fluids states that at a solid boundary, the fluid will have zero velocity relative to the boundary.The fluid velocity at all fluid–solid boundaries is equal to that of the solid boundary...
  
  , in fluid dynamics, the assumption that a fluid has zero velocity where it is in contact with a solid boundary
