Strength of materials

manufacturing process As you can see from the above illustration, Riordan Manufacturing current process for the receiving of raw materials is a manual system, which could cause inaccurate information due to human error. With the slow process of each station information could take days before entering the system for others to see. Raw Material is inventoried when it is being used for final products and handed to the clerk; the clerk enters the forms into the database. Final…

This lab module covers the subjects of optical spectroscopy of gas discharges and bond stiffness of materials. Optical spectroscopy can be observed using different types of equipment, such as, a spectrometer, a light collecting fiber, and tubes of certain types of gas (He, H2O, H2 and O2). The data collected displays the peak wavelengths for each of the gases, which can be used to determine the energy released when the electrons change energy levels. Overall, it was interesting to see how…

include tensile strength, tension, elasticity, and temperature. Information on these topics will also include how their properties can differ, as well how they are affected under various circumstances. The strength of materials and how different properties affect it can change the circumstances they are put under. Tensile strength is the resistance of a material put under stress. It is different than compression or shear strength because of the direction of the force that the material…

interfacial attachment is the use of bioactive materials (type3). The concept of bioactive materials is intermediate between resorbable and bioinert. Certain compositions of glasses, ceramics, glass-ceramics, and composites have been shown to bond to bone. These materials are also called bioactive ceramics. Some, even more specialized compositions of bioactive glasses, will bond to soft tissues as well as bone. A common characteristic of such bioactive materials is a modification of the surface…

individuals. Oscar Vazquez wanted a career in the military but ran into some problems when he went to a meeting to become a soldier. The team also ran into the problem of not having enough money for the robot and had to keep a tight budget for materials. In paragraph 15 it explains that Oscar Vazquez’s parents brought him to the U.S. from Mexico without proper paper work, not allowing him to receive a scholarship, nor get into the military. This is an obstacle because he was kept from…

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…

The assigned material for this week's article summary assignment is titled "Metal polishing: Do this, not that". The article is authored by CTD Mike, and was published on 06 Oct 11. The article appears on the cheaperthandirt.com website, and may be sourced at: http://blog.cheaperthandirt.com/metal-polishing-this/. The article begins with the assumption you have a task to perform that involves removing metal. Should I use the Dremel rotary tool? Stones? If you want to make sure you don't jack up…

Carbon fibre is a material made up of thin strips of crystalline filaments of carbon woven together to create a cloth or combined with a resin or ceramics to strengthen the material. Carbon fibre is now overtaking traditional metals in where it is being used and the reasons why will be discussed further on in the report (Happian-Smith 2001: 1). Carbon fibre composites have become the leading material in the automotive, aerospace and sporting equipment. This is due to its high strength, high…

travel is increasing, it places a pressure on the aerospace industry to improve material performance and the efficiency of their transportation.2 Classically aircraft were constructed from metallic materials such as aluminium and titanium. Therefore, new materials must have specific properties and characteristics that the metallic materials possess, but in addition, present further beneficial properties. Aeronautical materials must possess a high Young’s modulus to prevent shape deformation…

factors that could drive that price up or down substantially. Here are some of the considerations that influence the cost of a commercial roofing job. Type of Existing Commercial Roof The existing roofing materials will need to be removed before the new roof can be applied. Some roofing materials are more difficult to remove and require additional labor. For example, a built-up roof or modified bitumen roof usually…
