Andrew Carnegie Andrew Carnegie was a good man. He was born in Dunfermline, Scotland in 1835. His father was a weaver, and part of the Chartist group which wanted better for the working class. After his father's weaving business was shut down, the family moved to the United States. They moved there because there would be more opportunity to succeed. Carnegie's first job was a bobbin boy and he only earned $1.20 each week. He thought he was meant for better things, so at age 14, he got…

Explain why? Based on my results I believe the Mild Steel is the most suitable component for structural application, because the 0.3% Mild Steel had the highest E/GPa value of 212.77 E/GPa compared with all the other materials used. Steel is a metal, so it is made up of metallic bonds, which means that the element largely consists of positive ions (positive charge) and delocalized electrons (free…

AC 2.3: Explain the method of making titanium alloy and investigate how the composition and structure of metal alloys, polymers and poly-matrix composites influence the properties of the parent material. 1. Extraction process. 2. Melting process. 3. Storage process. Extraction of Titanium by Kroll process: First titanium ore Rutile (TiO2) is taken. Rutile is converted into titanium sponge by the following process: Titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) – a colourless compound is obtained as a result…

Being the largest organ in your body, your skin works really hard to protect you against germs, pollution and extreme temperatures. It keeps you warm in winters and cool in summers. Your skin is also the first to show indications of an underlying problem in your body and the signs include dryness, oiliness, eczema, sores, moles, bruises, etc. And these are a few of the reasons why you should take care of your skin. Skin care is not just about using expensive skin care products. It entails…

Bending Strength requirement This is the first body requirement and its task is to support all the vehicle subsystems. The body in static is going to suffer bending due to the weight of the components, passengers, fuel and cargo, Figure 42. Similar to a beam simple supported, the very first requirement is that the structure bend sufficient to absorb the energy due to the weight, but has to withstand the weight under different loading scenarios. Figure 42: Body loading under a static scenario…

The crash box is the car component that is attached at each end of a car’s bumper and its function is to absorb the energy produced during collision or impact. Chapter 1 describes briefly on crash boxes and their characteristics. As mentioned earlier in Chapter 1, crash boxes are designed with or without patterns. Each one of the designs have different energy absorbing characteristic depending on the design and its patterns, shape, size, etc. Most crash boxes are designed with several grooves…

2. Calcium “Calcium is a metal, a bright shiny metal like all other metals. Calcium is not the white powdery substance most people believe.” Calcium is found in our body very abundantly and it is very important mineral, but its absorption, assimilation and utilization is very difficult in the cell. It is present in the bones as a main component and bones are rigid and hard due to it. We can get it from milk. Bones receives calcium and fills up with it at the age of 21 years. After it, there is…

Rivalry among competing firms: The competing companies against Luck Industries is Vulcan Material and Marietta Materials. Vulcan Material is the number supplier of Stone. The risk of the rivalry companies is high because if price is what matters to the consumer the other larger companies can always lower price which would make it more difficult for Luck to compete. Luck industries always cares about it’s employees first along with it’s customers which make their products more expensive. Luck…

Chapter 5 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 5.1 Compression Test 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…
