Strength chart for a [0, 0 ] cartxin-epoxy laminate containing 60 vol.% fibres, showing the maximum allowable stress in 0° direction as a function of 0 and A, the fraction of angled plies (after R. Tetlow). 

The first industrial hardboard was developed by W. Mason in the mid-1920s he found that a mat of wet fiber pressed in a hot press would produce a self-bonded flat panel with good strength, durabiUty, and stabiUty. The product was patented in 1928, trademarked as Masonite, and commercial production began. Over time several other processes for producing hardboards have been developed from modifications of the original process. Brief descriptions of these processes foUow and a flow chart of the process is shown in Figure 5. 

External-pressure failure of shells can result from overstress at one extreme or n om elastic instability at the other or at some intermediate loading. The code provides the solution for most shells by using a number of charts. One chart is used for cylinders where the shell diameter-to-thickness ratio and the length-to-diameter ratio are the variables. The rest of the charts depic t curves relating the geometry of cyhnders and spheres to allowable stress by cui ves which are determined from the modulus of elasticity, tangent modulus, and yield strength at temperatures for various materials or classes of materials. The text of this subsection explains how the allowable stress is determined from the charts for cylinders, spheres, and hemispherical, ellipsoidal, torispherical, and conical heads. 

Data for the yield strength, tensile strength and the tensile ductility are given in Table 8.1 and shown on the bar-chart (Fig. 8.12). Like moduli, they span a range of about 10 from about 0.1 MN m (for polystyrene foams) to nearly 10 MN m (for diamond). 

Let us now see whether materials really show this strength. The bar-chart (Fig. 9.2) shows values of Oy/E for materials. The heavy broken line at the top is drawn at the level it/E = 1/15. Glasses, and some ceramics, lie close to this line - they exhibit their ideal strength, and we could not expect them to be stronger than this. Most polymers, too, lie near the line - although they have low yield strengths, these are low because the moduli are low. 

The manner in which the laminate design is approached can be expressed in flow-chart form as in Figure 7-59. There, some initial laminate is arbitrarily selected to start the procedure. Then, the laminate load-deflection behavior is evaluated by use of the laminate strength analysis procedure described in Section 4.5. That evaluation is theoretical in nature. The next step is to evaluate the laminate fatigue life, and that evaluation can only be done experimentally, although progress is... 

Initial blast strength in Figure 4.24 is represented by a number ranging from 1 (very low strength) up to 10 (detonative strength). The initial blast strength number is indicated in the charts at the location of the charge radius. 

Once the energy quantities E and the initial blast strengths of the individual equivalent fuel-air charges are estimated, the Sachs-scaled blast side-on overpressure and positive-phase duration at some distance R from a blast source can be read from the blast charts in Figure 4.24 after calculation of the Sachs-scaled distance ... 

To consolidate multiple reports efficiently, you may want to develop an enlarged chart based on the assessment report form (questionnaire, protocol, other), which can be filled in as assessments are completed. This may help to illustrate common strengths and weaknesses, as well as highlighting pacesetter programs and gaps. 

Aside from type of claim (fiber dominant or interfacet matrix dominant), the efficiency of surface treatments depends noticeably on the fiber content within the composite. At a fiber content of 30 vol%, tensile strength increases by 10% and shear strength increases by about 100% (Fig. 12). In contrast to modified fibers where shear strength rises with increasing fiber content, the chart, after having reached a maximum, shows a...

The first group of tests is carried out on specimens generally fabricated into a dumb-bell shape, with forces applied uniaxially. The usual apparatus consists of a machine with a pair of jaws, which during the test are moved relative to each other, either together or apart, in a controlled manner. A chart recorder is employed to give a permanent record of the results obtained, so that the force at fracture can be determined. Whether this kind of set up measures tensile, compressive, or flexural strength depends on how the sample is oriented between the jaws, and on the direction that the jaws are set to travel relative to one another. 

The process profile is presented as a bar chart, with a separate bar for each parameter. The width of each bar reflects the relative importance of a parameter s maximum impact. The bar chart highlights process strengths and weaknesses. This is illustrated in Fig. 2.7, which shows the process profile for 1. It is immediately apparent that the weakness of the process is. its environmental abuse potential. 

It is particularly noteworthy that the acceptor strengths of nitropyridinium cations as measured by the oxidation potential (Ep) parallel the acidities of the corresponding hydropyridinium cations (pXa) as shown in Fig. 17.235a Such a remarkable correlation derives directly from the interconvertibility of oxidants and acids (Chart 6)... 

Moreover, the thermal nitration of various aromatic substrates with different X-PyNO cations shows the strong rate dependence on the acceptor strength of X-PyNO and the aromatic donor strength. This identifies the influence of the HOMO-LUMO gap in the EDA complexes (see Chart 3), and thus provides electron-transfer activation as the viable mechanistic basis for the aromatic nitration. Indeed, the graphic summary in Fig. 18 for toluene nitration depicts the isomeric composition of o-, m- and p-nitrotoluene to be singularly invariant over a wide range of substrate selectivities (k/kQ based on the benzene... 

Indeed, the extent of disproportionation of NO according to equation (89) clearly depends on the donor strength of the aromatic hydrocarbon.240 For example, hexamethylbenzene which is a strong donor (IP = 7.85 V) promotes the ionization of NO to an extent of 80% whereas the weaker donor durene (IP = 8.05 V) affords less than 25% ion-pair formation. Furthermore, the resulting NO+ cation is a powerful electron acceptor (Erea = 1.48 V versus SCE) in contrast to NO (Ered = 0.25 V versus SCE) and thus readily forms donor/acceptor complexes with a variety of aromatic, olefinic and heteroatom-centered donors. Accordingly, the donor/acceptor complexation and electron-transfer activation are the critical steps in various transformations in Chart 8 as described below. 

An increase in the strength of silyl Lewis acid leads to an increase in the rate of the ABENA process and allows one to use milder conditions. In addition, the rate ratio K4/K2 (Chart 3.20) sharply increases. For example, the generation rate of respective BENA is approximately equal to the rate of consumption of the corresponding intermediate SENA in double silylation of 2-nitropropane with Me3SiCl (187). This SENA was not detected among the products of silylation of 2-nitropropane in the presence of even a smaller amount of Me3SiOTf. 

Sets of parameters such as burette volume, reagent strength, increment size and time interval, end-point potential, format of results, etc., can be stored and recalled from memory as standard methods for routine analyses. An alphanumeric keyboard is used to enter or change the parameters, to take individual pX or mV readings and to control the rinsing and the refilling of the automatic burette. Raw titration data and computed analytical results can be printed out as a permanent record, and titration curves can be produced on a chart recorder or VDU. 

A first example is represented by the Mn(III)/Mn(II) redox switch. The complexes of Mn(II) and Mn(III) with the water-soluble tetraphenylsulpho-nate porphyrin (TPPS, Chart 13) display significantly different ri values at low magnetic field strength (lower than 1 MHz), but very similar values at the fields currently used in the clinical practice (> 10 MHz) (141). However, the longer electronic relaxation rates of the Mn(II) complex makes its relaxivity dependent on the rotational mobility of the chelate. In fact, upon interacting with a poly-p-cyclodextrin, a 4-fold enhancement of the relaxivity of [Mn(H)-TPPS(H20)2] at 20 MHz has been detected, whereas little effect has been observed for the Mn(III)-complex. The ability of the Mn(II)/Mn(III)...
