Virginia Commonwealth State Agency-Northrop Grumman Critical System Outage The commonwealth of Virginia experienced an information technology storage area network outage on August 25th 2010. This affected several agencies and caused 13% of the file servers to fail. The failure mainly impacted the Department of Motor Vehicles and Department of taxation. Because of the outage problem, DMV couldn’t process driver’s licenses and couldn’t share data with other agencies. (1) DMV has been unable to…

Compound Bow: Introduction Introduction Bows are tools or weapons used by archers and archery hunters to compete in competition and harvest wildlife for food and trophies. The compound bow in particular, is a mechanical tool/weapon that enhances the primitive technology originally created by man to enhance accuracy when hunting or shooting at a target. Compound bows can be used for hunting various types of game as well as used for competition shooting. People of most ages with practice and…

correctly and consistently. The shaft of an arrow is a thin material like wood, carbon fiber, or aluminum in a cylindrical shape that has a point on the front called the tip usually made out of metal or something hard enough to penetrate through the target or animal, if bow hunting. At the other end of the shaft there are the fletchings, usually three, which are made from a wide variety of materials including; feathers, natural materials, plastics and metals. These fletchings help stabilize the…

compression test results for Granite epoxy specimens is documented and listed in Table 5.1. Table 5.1 Compression Test results for Granite Epoxy Specimens Figure 5.1 shows the compressive strength plot of granite epoxy composite specimens without the inclusion of filler material. From the graph, it is observed that the compressive strength of the fabricated specimen’s increases up to 70% granite content and further decreases with the increase in epoxy percentage. The maximal compressive…

Wisdom teeth received their name because they erupt much later in life than other teeth. Despite what their name suggests, though, wisdom teeth are neither wise nor superior to other molars. In reality, they're more problematic and less useful than their pearly white neighbors. Listed below are five reasons to have your wisdom teeth removed soon. 1. Wisdom Teeth are Prone to Tooth Decay Thanks to their location in the very back of your mouth, wisdom teeth are difficult to clean properly.…

The tensile testing was done on the three composite specimens (90°, and two 45°) were completed with a servo-hydraulic load frame with a wedge. The one in the lab was an MTS 647 Hydraulic Wedge Grip and an 810 Material Test System. The specimens had strain gages with a Wheatstone bridge to collect data such as time, distance, load, axial strain, and transverse strain in volts which was converted into pounds per force (lbf), pressure (psi), and etc. for data analysis. From the strain gages,…

FIG.15Total deformation of Mono Composite Leaf Spring The fig: 16 shows the von-mises stress at different positions of the leaf spring and it varies from 0.0097MPa to 40.66MPa FIG.16 Von-Mises Stress Plot of E-Glass/Epoxy Composite Leaf Spring 6.1.4 Modal Analysis Modal analysis is performed to determine the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the leaf spring. After the post…

industries of structural, mechanical, aerospace engineering, materials science, medicine, prosthetics, and many more have called for stronger, lightweight, low maintenance materials to withhold the stresses and loads that come with everyday usage of materials. Material scientists and engineers have studied and manufactured composite materials to cater to the needs of these various industries; however, composites have limitations as well. Many composites need repairs after damage from high impact…

dimensional stability, Good wear resistance, Better internal damping. Difficult to be machined, scarce, high price, low conductivity, absorbs coolant. Granite has some major flaws, like the ones which are listed below. • It is difficult to machine this material into required size andshape • Its scarcity and price • Low thermal conductivity leading it to heat concentration andeventual cracking, Ceramics- Stiffness, strength, corrosion resistance, dimensional stability, good surface finish.…

3 SHORE DUROMETER HARDNESS STRENGTH Hardness was defined as materials resisting property to prevent permanent indentation. Durometer is a measure of hardness in polymers, fibre and rubbers where it measures the indentation depth in the material. According to ASTM D2240 tests were conducted on specimen using Durometer in the room temperature [5]. The test is done on the surface by supplying load and measuring the indentation. The material under test must be a minimum of 6.4 mm thickness. It was…
