Shear strength

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…

2.9 Material Properties 2.9.1 Hardness Test Hardness is defined as a measure of a material’s resistance to contained plastic deformation (e.g., a small dent or scratch). Hardness testing comprises a small indenter being enforced into the surface of the material being confirmed under organized circumstances of load and rate of application. The depth or size of the resulting indentation is measured, which in turn is linked to a hardness number; weaker the material, indentation will be the…

\par Magnesium: As aluminum has been established as a leading role in automotive industry, the use of magnesium in automobile applications is yet limited. Magnesium exhibits a poor formability whereas aluminum has superior formability at room temperature. The main features of ductile magnesium alloys are that they have homogeneous microstructure which is free of brittle inter-metallic particles and having uniform plastic deformation promoted by its grain size as well as its crystallographic…

There are many reasons why people choose to wear weighted clothing and the most important ones include the fact that it helps building strength, toning muscles, building bone mass, and so on. But what exactly is the weighted clothing? Well, in simple words, the weighted clothing is clothing with built-in weights added to different parts of the body in order to increase the intensity during a resistance training. Moreover, the weighting clothing is adjustable for the user and comes in a wide…

Wire Rope Wire Rope Definition and Types Wire rope is machine composed of individual wires that have been twisted to form strands and work together to achieve optimum results for the selected operation. Strands are then twisted, to form a wire rope. The parts of a wire rope illustrated in the figure below. The core is the foundation of the rope design. The main functionality of the core is to support the wire stands and maintain them in their position during the lifecycle of the product…

The polyurethane segments show high intersegment attraction such as hydrogen bonding and may be able to crystallize and form hard segments. In such polymers hard segments with Tg well above normal ambient temperature are separated by polyol soft segments, which in the mass are rubbery in nature. Hard and soft segments are arranged alternate along the polymer chain. Fig.7. Polyurethane chain configuration [32] 4.2.2. Polyurethane properties and advantages for product development…

Even if it's not the season for outdoor walking in your area, there are places you can walk to stay healthy. The local gym is one choice, of course, but you can also get creative with your walking workouts. Years ago, there were tapes where women would walk in place in the comfort of their own home.
