Stainless Steel (Car Components): Stainless steel which is also known as inox steel, is a steel alloy which features 10.5% of chromium. Stainless steel does not rust or stain like normal steel would and even though it is called stainless steel, it is not entirely stainless, because in low-oxygen, high salinity environments it is able to be stained. The main difference between stainless steel and general carbon steel is the amount of chromium present. Due to the amount of chromium that stainless…

HSC Assessment Task 1: Recovery Strategies - Thea Djukic (PDHPE 01) Recovery Strategies The aim is to certify that athletes are suitable to recommence back to previous or normal training and competitions. Many athletes tend to limit the use of recovery strategies at times when they are ill or injured. Recovery strategies have many advantages and benefits towards an athlete’s performance which aid with rehabilitation or recuperation. Recovery is one of the main principles of training. The…

My Healthy Active Living Action Plan- Pola Cwiek My Goals Are SMART GOAL #1: Component of Fitness: Muscular Strength- Standing Long Jump My Healthy Active Living Goal is to improve my standing long jump by 15 cm by January 2018. My goal is specific because I've stated the test i want to improve in: standing long jump, the amount i want to increase in 15 cm and the time frame January 2018. My goal is measurable because I’m going to be able to see the difference in centimetres since the first…

the short-term muscle strength. The performance of muscles enhances. It is a strength exercise that uses resistance to muscular contractions. There are many different methods to perform anaerobic exercises. The most common of which are weight and resistance exercise. These two types of exercise use gravity (through weight stacks, plates or dumbbells) or machines to oppose muscle contraction, and the terms can be used interchangeably. Benefits When properly performed, strength training can…

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…

proper race you need to have good muscular endurance to avoid fatigue. For a rower to improve their muscular endurance, they will need to undergo weight training. Weight training uses weights to provide resistance to the muscles. It improves muscular strength (high weight, low reps), muscular endurance (low weight, high reps) and power (medium weight and reps performed quickly). Weight training will improve 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…

1.1 What is a composite material? Composite materials are materials in which a homogenous matrix is reinforced by a stronger and stiffer constituent that is usually fibrous but may have a particulate or other shape (web.mit.edu). They are produced when two or more materials or phases are used together to give a combination of properties that cannot be attained otherwise. For example steel reinforced concrete, plywood and fibre glass. 1.2 What is a Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC)? CMCs are a…
