composed of glass fibres nested in a polymer resin matrix. The glass fibres provide stiffness and tensile strength, whilst the resin matrix binds the material together, provides compressive strength and transfers the loads to the fibres. The final product is impermeable, corrosion resistant and weather resistant which makes it suitable for long-term use in external conditions. Its specific strength is high, typically exceeding that of both ... ... middle of paper ... ...acture, and Damage Theories

5.1 Introduction Structurally, the Salt Range is the result of tectonic forces imposed during the lateral phases of the Himalayan orogeny in the late Cenozoic time; the occurrence of the thick, incompetent Salt Range formation at the base of the sedimentary sequence has strongly influenced the structure. 5.2 GENERAL STRUCTURES OF THE PAIL-BAHDRAR AREA Structural features were essentially the result of gravitative flow process (a tectonic diaprisim) involving the subsurface flow of highly incompetent
Writing 1 I begin my hike in comfortable clothes, a camelbak, flashlight and my ticket to view the caves. The first thing I see is the large rockslide above the visitor’s center. The rockslide is called talus slop. A talus slope describes a type of rockslide that is a loose debris piles. Talus slopes have mild to moderate rockslides as rocks slide down the pile. I was surprised when one such rock hit my head dead center. Facing the American Fork Canyon in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah, USA I see
Area of the Long Point Fault The Long Point Fault is located in Harris County, which covers 83,450 square miles located with in Houston, Teaxas City Limits. Research specifies that there are three sections of the Long Point fault that appear to be active; some sections of the Long Point fault have averaged more than 2 cm per year of vertical offset over the last 20 years. Evidence of the faults concludes it is a natural fault. The reason for activity is not caused by man, even though man’s activities

initial dispersion of the binder in the powder depends upon viscosity and shear rate applied. (Schaefer, 1996) Binder viscosity also controls the consolidation rate and hence subsequent growth via coalescence. (Ennis, et al., 1991). Results from Rough et al (2005) showed that increased temperature (lower viscosity), the regimes are reached faster because the binder is able to distribute more effectively in the mixture at a given shear rate which is in accordance with the work reported by Schaefer et al
Thunderstorm Introduction According to Harding (2011), thunderstorms is dangerous and it has the capabilities to produce severe uneven movement within area of air, low level wind shear, low ceiling and visibility, hails and lightning. Thunderstorm is convection is developed based on three fundamental atmospheric conditions; warm humid air, a steep vertical temperature gradient where colder air over moist air and an updraft that makes water vapor turns into water droplets which makes the clouds
Microburst and wind shear avoidance As we all know, safety is fundamental to the aviation industry. There are many factors will cause dangerous to flights, such as human factors, problem of aircraft structures and so on. Flight safety has many challenges. Due to the climate variability and suddenness, meteorology has become a severe problem in aviation. Many air crashes are in the result of bad weather. In generally speaking, there are several weather phenomenon have much influence on flights, like
Motivation for Research and Objectives Louisiana contains approximately 40% of the coastal wetlands of the lower forty-eight states. Louisiana has lost up to forty square miles of marsh per year for several decades (accounting for 80% of the nation’s annual coastal wetland loss) (lacoast.gov). From a hydrologic standpoint, the wetlands replenish aquifers, hold excess floodwaters from intense rainfalls, and provide storm surge protection. The Nation also benefits from Louisiana’s coastal lands
3. Types of autofrettage Autofrettage introduces compressive hoop stresses in the region surrounding the internal diameter, to reduce the magnitude of the hoop stresses developed there when the tube is pressurized. This may be accomplished in one of two ways, as described in sub-sections 3.1 and 3.2. 3.1 Hydraulic Autofrettage Hydraulic autofrettage involves the application of hydrostatic pressure to the internal diameter of the tube. The stress produced due to the hydraulic pressure should exceed
Summary Brian Cox took the astronomy readers to a 5 minutes 11 sec trip to give a visual explanation about the solar system and the formation of tornados with a brief history of its emergence and how the solar system came into existence. According to the visual explanation in the video Brian Cox; tornados are one of the most biggest and bizarre as well as powerful natural phantasm. Cox had given us an unveiled the spectacular and extreme process of making of tornado and revealed the extremely powerful
the three equations of equilibrium. 2: Hooke’s Law, Poisson’s Ratio and Modulus of rigidity. Hooke’s law, Poisson’s ratio and shear modulus (modulus of rigidity) all share a common bond. They are considered to be individually the same for a specific material. hooke’s law is formulated as F=kx; Poisson’s ratio is formulated as = (lateral strain / axial strain) and shear modulus is formulated as G= E/(2(1+" " )). 3: polar moment of inertia and angle of twist. Determinate systems: (ISO-STATIC)
Tornado Facts: What You Need to Know About the Spinning Air of Destruction Most people know what a tornado is, but not all of them know what a tornado really is. There is more to it than just a swirling mass of wind that only scares the bejeezus out of you or leaves destruction on its wake. What is a tornado? Also known as twisters, cyclone and funnel, a tornado is a tube of air that touches both the ground and clouds and spins rapidly. For a vortex of wind to be called a tornado, it must touch
Langmuir adsorption model assumesthat adsorption occurs at specific homogeneous adsorption sites onthe adsorbent surface and intermolecular forces decrease rapidlywith the distance from the adsorption surface. The model further basedon the assumption that all the adsorption sites are energeticallyidentical and adsorption occurs on a structurally homogeneousadsorbent. The Langmuir (Hadi et al., 2010) non-linear form is pre-sented in Eq. (6).which may be unfavourable (RL > 1), linear (RL = 1), favorable
Tornadoes largely hit the United States, and the media is fast to rule the leading causes. The media attribute the intensity and number of the tornadoes to the existing "clash of the air masses". They hold to this theory without enough evidence on the main causes of the tornadoes as well as establishing the leading causes of these tornadoes. The media mainly argues that there is a clash between the cold polar air and the warm tropical air. According to the author, the argument presented by the media
Journal bearing is a type of bearing that supports the load by providing a plain surface which uses a lubricant to reduce the friction between the rotating and the stationary part. These types of bearings are also known as fluid film bearings because of the presence of a film of lubricant between shaft and bearing. When the journal and bearing are in relative motion, the amount of eccentricity between two depends on the pressure generated in the lubricating film in order to balance the external loads
Munson, Young, Okiishi, and Huebsch (2010), is defined as “a substance that deforms continuously when acted on by a shearing stress of any magnitude” (p. 4). Fluids can also be described as a component that constantly undergoes physical changes due to shear force which is a force that acts tangentially to its area (Massey & Ward-Smith, 2012). Fluids have certain properties that liquids and gases have in common which differentiate it from solids such as its ability to flow and change shape. However, the
Some might say that it takes a lot of patience and experience to open up a new campus not knowing whether it will succeed or fail. Texas A&M San Antonio like many other colleges first inaugurated in 2011, expanding the A&M branch further South left a lot of people wondering what the outcome would be. At first it started off only offering upperclassman courses making it very rigorous for students who were interested in attending to apply straight out of high school. Then in the fall of 2016 TAMUSA
(perimeter) S= Sheet thickness in mm. f (max) = shear strength of stock material in N/mm2 Method of reducing press force- In some cases it is necessary to reduce cutting force to prevent press overloading.Following are the methods to reduce press force Provide shear angle with reference to horizontal plane. It reduces shock to press & smoothen cutting operation. Shear angle should be 1 to 1.5 times the sheet thickness. Double shear angle is preferred over singe shear angle
