How is the failure of ductile and brittle materials under bending load? Brittle materials do not undergo significant plastic deformation. They thus fail by breaking of the bonds between atoms, which usually requires a tensile stress along the bond. Micromechanically, the breaking of the bonds is aided by presence of cracks which cause stress concentration. […]
Which is more important systolic or diastolic blood pressure?
Which is more important systolic or diastolic blood pressure? In this review we compare the relative importance of various blood pressure components. Recent findings: Generally, in studies in which readings of systolic and diastolic blood pressure have been compared, systolic blood pressure has been a better predictor of risk. Why is my diastolic high? A: […]
Which is better V8 or V12?
What are the four classifications of composite?
What are the four classifications of composite? Composites are usually classified by the type of material used for the matrix. The four pri- mary categories of composites are polymer matrix composites (PMCs), metal matrix compos- ites (MMCs), ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), and carbon matrix composites (CAMCs). Which of the following composites are dispersion strengthened composites? […]
How are producers and consumers similar?
How are producers and consumers similar? -Producers always start every food chain. A consumer, also called a heterotroph, is an organism that cannot make its own food. It must eat producers or other organisms for energy. -Plants or producers with the help of carbon dioxide and sunlight, synthesize food. How can a producer also be […]
What component can you use to turn the current in an electrical circuit on and off?
What is the relationship between hardness and toughness?
What is the relationship between hardness and toughness? Hardness: Hardness is the resistance to scratching, cutting or abrasion. Toughness: Toughness is the resistance to fracturing and this quality depends on the maximum energy that can be absorbed before fracturing. What is the difference between toughness and fracture toughness? Generally Toughness is the ability of material […]
What happens when your exhaust pipe falls off?
What happens when your exhaust pipe falls off? So what happens if your muffler falls off? If the muffler has a hole in it, carbon monoxide can leak into the passenger cabin and your vehicle is unsafe to drive. Carbon monoxide can cause dizziness, nausea, and headaches. Unconsciousness and death can occur if you are […]
