In engineering and materials science, necking is a mode of tensile deformation where relatively large amounts of strain localize disproportionately in a small region of the material. The resulting prominent decrease in local cross-sectional area provides the basis for the name "neck".
noun. Informal. kissing, caressing, and other sexual activity between partners that does not involve stimulation of the genitals or sexual intercourse. Architecture.
(ˈnekɪŋ) noun. 1. informal. the act of embracing, kissing, and caressing amorously; petting.
neck (v.) "to kiss, embrace, caress," 1825 (implied in necking) in northern England dialect, from neck (n.). Compare Middle English halsen "to embrace or caress affectionately, to fondle sexually," from hals (n.) "neck." Earlier, neck as a verb meant "to kill by a strike on the neck" (mid-15c.).
Necking off" is an accepted term for the narrowing of an inlet, extrusion, etc., before separation, like when a cell divides into two.
Necking occurs when an instability in the material causes its cross-section to decrease by a greater proportion than the strain hardens when undergoing tensile deformation.

A kiss on the neck usually means that he just can't get enough of you. If he kisses you on your neck, it means that he loves you and is passionately drawn towards you.
Some believe that kissing with tongue is a natural evolutionary progression that aids in mate choice. Others, citing cultures where kissing with tongue is not only absent but looked down upon, believe making out is a specific learned behavior that's gained popularity due to media consumption and globalization.
Neck kisses are, very simply, as the name suggests, kisses along and all around your neck. This ignites all those nerve endings around your neck that send tingly feelings to your brain.
Necking begins after ultimate strength is reached. During necking, the material can no longer withstand the maximum stress and the strain in the specimen rapidly increases. Plastic deformation ends with the fracture of the material.
Making out is a colloquial American term for a sexual activity involving two (or more) people engaging in deep kissing and non-penetrative sexual touching (heavy petting). Making out can include French kissing, kissing each other's necks (necking), grazing erogenous zones, and sucking and licking earlobes.
necking in British English
(ˈnɛkɪŋ ) noun. 1. informal. the activity of kissing and embracing passionately.
Anyone who's ever had the pleasure of being kissed on the neck knows that it feels almost surprisingly wonderful. But why? "For one, there's a lot of nerve endings on the neck, so it's super pleasurable,” says Morse. Plus, it's a super sexy extension of a make out.
You get all giddy. When you kiss someone, your body releases happy hormones. A rush of dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin hits your system the moment your lips lock. With this positive cocktail and a heart-fluttering kiss, you'll feel like you're on cloud nine!
A wet kiss is an open-mouthed kiss, and can be done with or without using your tongue. A little bit of wetness while kissing can be a turn on, but doing it excessively can be a messy affair.
Adrenaline Is Unleashed
"The heart rate goes up, muscle tension increases, our breathing rate speeds up, and blood flows to our internal organs." It's why you might feel "weak in the knees." But this feeling also plays a role in assessing your chemistry.
A long kiss releases dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin, feel-good chemicals that will make him smile. A single smile produces endorphins, another hormone that lifts his mood. Endorphins also create a “feedback loop” that will make him smile over and over.
A butterfly kiss is an affectionate gesture made by fluttering the eyelashes against someone's skin or eyelashes.
"For one, there's a lot of nerve endings on the neck, so it's super pleasurable,” says Morse. Plus, it's a super sexy extension of a make out.
Based on Considère's Construction, necking should occur at ε T = 0.25, ε N = 0.28. This condition is commonly expressed in terms of the nominal strain. The condition can therefore also be formulated in terms of a plot of true stress against nominal strain.
2), necking will start where a line from the point eN = -1 forms a tangent to the curve. Necking starts when the plot of nominal stress against nominal strain reaches a maximum (plateau) – see Fig.
Neck, Necking
A neck is formed in a tensile test specimen when the UTS of the engineering stress/strain curve is reached. Prior to this stress-strain condition the plastic deformation occurs throughout the sample and the material deforms under constant volume conditions.
