Material

Over the years, the 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 velocities (typically in aerospace applications), and that can induce additional costs. [1] Auxetic materials are a relatively new class of materials that may be used in place of typical materials while being structurally sound and…

On the site visit from 7th October there were many materials that were playing an important part in the development of the roadworks, including steel, concrete/cement and many more. Below I have selected three materials from the site visit and identified properties and uses. • Steel There are over 3000 different grades of steel all with unique physical and chemical properties. The production of steel is made in accordance with its application. Due to its high strength Steel is one of the most…

M1 - Justify the selection of suitable materials and techniques for use in the construction of substructures for low-rise domestic and commercial buildings, for two different tutor-specified scenarios Concrete is used for foundations as when compressed, concrete can suffer extremely high compressive stresses before any type of cracking of failure occurs which makes it an ideal substance for supporting large masses such as buildings. Concrete will also be less prone to movement. Also concrete…

ASTM STANDARDS Short introduction – ASTM standards are consensus standards for systems, services, materials and products. ‘ASTM International’ is one of the largest voluntary standard developing organization in the world. It is a non-profit organization that provides a forum for the development and publication of international voluntary standards. There are approximately 12,575 ASTM standards that operate globally. TESTING ASTM STANDARDS- Scope- There test methods help in the determining of…

many different types of landscaping materials available to anyone and you do not have to be a landscaping professional. Do-it-yourself landscaping has become popular and materials that were once available only to contractors and landscapers are now available to the general public. There are now many more stores that supply exotic landscaping materials then there once was. If you have an area to landscape and can lift, dig and use a shovel then you can create an attractive design using plants and…

Recently our class lectures, discussions, and readings have focused on the significance of material objects in life and in museums. We explored this topic in depth when we each created a personal “shoebox” exhibit, meant to accurately illustrate who we are. As soon as I began thinking about what objects constitute me, I felt overwhelmed. What could I possibly fit into one small shoebox that sums up all of me? I ended up putting tons of small items in my box, like an acorn to show how much I love…

situations of being dropped and/or hit, to maintain its form. Potty that breaks under usual types of contact, such as those mentioned above, will result in unhygienic scenes, which are totally undesirable in healthcare environment, that require lots of cleaning. Sufficient and constant supply of potty is in dire need because of its short use time as well as the large number of present patients, hence the need for ease of storing because customers don’t want them to take too much space, or…

In the world of Operations Management, especially in manufacturing, change is inevitable. There can be changes to the product based on customer feedback and product improvement. There can be changes to the processes due to new technology, think about robots, or product redesign. There can also be changes to the basic way you extrapolate data to determine how your operations are running. We used to keep track of production data on paper, it was inefficient at best and lacked the timeliness to…

Cold water is sometimes fast, but not as fast if you combine hot water and hot water with the same amount of water than the water will become warm and warm water is also faster than cold water. It also might depend on the material you are melting it all doesn't depend on the water. Skittles are in all kinds of different flavors and skittles are very soft when they are all licked. Skittles are chewy and also hard. Hot water and cold water don't have much difference for one hot water is water…

the same time verbal should connect with the visual within limited time they have. So in this case you have to organize your visual and verbal speech such a way that within time slot that you have; you can deliver the message the message to the audience clearly. Conciseness would be the least I will use as English is not my first language I won’t be able to use correct word which can save time. One day may be I am able to do that but for now I will use Tone strategy to deliver my message.…
