column. The resulted behavior is believed to be much degraded beyond the peak point due to dilation in concrete when using inadequate amount of confinement material (Harries and Kharel 2003). After the peak load was reached, the decrease in axial strength was more remarkable for larger dimensioned specimens. For instance, the axial stress decreased suddenly by 14% and 41.8% for specimens R1.5H2CL3 and R2.0H2CL3, respectively, comprising softening region as a second portion of the overall…

MANUFACTURING COSTS: Functional Elements: The baby stroller is mainly composed of three materials: Nylon (woven, as fabric) Plastic (injection molded, for plastic parts) Steel (tubing, for frame) Fasteners are included in the assembly of different components of the strollers. The stroller would have to be manufactured on an assembly line. The fabric weaving and seat making, the plastic molding and the frame can simultaneously be manufactured in their respective work areas. Following are…

place. Along with high load capacity and good fatigue properties, it is also an excellent wear-resistant material. The bimetallic bearing is the composite of low friction copper alloy and is perfect for use when provided with excellent requisite strength and the finest carrying capacity by means of derived remains and secondary wedging technology. It is extensively used in automotive applications such as compressors, pedal bearings, steering gear, tailgate pivots, power steering, king-pin bushes…

[Qin Yi, Fan Hui Li et.al, 2012] using Dimethyl terephthalate instead of part of phthalic anhydride prepared Polyester resin with the excellent flexibility. He then used sol-gel technology to prepare silicone-modified polyester resin. The properties of the coting film, such as hardness, flexibility, solvent resistance and adhesion were studied and optimized. When compared with commercially available coloured polyester coating SM 3911, the flexibility, adhesion, rigidity , MEK resistance and…

Graphite, natural or synthetic, is composed of covalently bonded carbon atoms that are crystalline in structure due to Van der Waals attraction of its layered carbon sheets. It has a gray or black color, with thermal and electrical conductivity. With its properties, it can be used in many “industrial applications like in batteries and fuel cells” (Olson 2003). Although graphite has its useful characteristics, its performance is limited due to its large particles’ size resulting to “low aspect…

2. Basic theories and principles 2.1 Chemical vapor deposition 2.1.1 Definition of chemical vapor deposition Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a versatile process which is widely applied to produce coatings, powders, fibers and monolithic components [1]. Applying the chemical vapor deposition, it is possible to produce alloy and compounds of metals and nonmetal materials. Chemical vapor deposition can be defined as the deposition of a solid on a heated surface from a chemical reaction in the…

copper which is mined throughout the world is used for electrical wiring and cables. It isnt however just used based on its electrical conductivity properties alone. It is chose because it has other benificial products as well. These include; high tensile strenght, ductility, corrosion resistant, low thermal expansion and is able to be soldered. So having these properties make it the clear option for use in electrical wiring. High Carbon Steel (Drill Bits): Steel is considered carbon steel when…

4.1 First Side by Side Geometry The first model shown in figure 3 was for twin tunnels already constructed at a centre to centre spacing of 3D. This model helped to identify the influence of construction sequence on surface and subsurface ground displacement upon excavating the first and second tunnels underneath the existing twin tunnels. Figure 3: First Side by Side twin tunnels 4.1.1 Surface Displacements The surface displacements at distances of 4.75m, 7.125m, 9.5m and 11.875m from the…

These are similar to mineral component that present in bones and hard tissues (Ilie et al., 2016). The combination of ceramic based materials - hydroxyapatite and natural polymer as sodium alginate will provide strength, stiffness and fracture toughness to bone (S. Lala et al., 2016). The composite materials have been used in load bearing application such as filler and bone defect. Alginate (Alg) is a natural polymer which synthesized from brown algae. Alginate…

According to cerakoteguncoatings.com (2017), Cerakote is a Polymer-Ceramic coating that can be applied to metals, plastics, polymers and wood. Cerakote is used on; knives, weapons, tools, some electronic covers, glasses and anything durable that needs a tough coating. This ceramic thin-film coating is intended to offer an appealing finish with unequaled performance. The ceramic coating of Cerakote provides the advantage of having extraordinary; adhesiveness, pliability, corrosion and wear…
