Strength mechanism

Explosive Pipe Closure System. A fast, high-strength mechanism for closing off inaccessible pipes is explosively actuated. The system, devised to protect instrumentation mounted in pipes from flying debris during uunderground nu-... 

Locus of failure studies 75 80) on metal/epoxy joints that had been exposed to water indicate that corrosion of the metal substrate does not occur until after interfacial failure has occurred. This suggests that corrosion itself does not play a primary role in the loss of adhesion strength mechanism of metal/epoxy joints, but rather is a post-failure phenomenon. However, for the case of metal/epoxy protective coating systems, Leidheiser and coworkers 88-91 -92) and Dickie and coworkers 5 87-89-90> have proposed that localized corrosion processes are part of an important delamination mechanism. 

With the possible exception of common line insulators, electrical porcelain is especially formulated and may contain varying percentages of zirconia and beryllia. These ingredients increase both strength (mechanical) and resistance to high temperatures. Hard porcelains are especially formulated to resist thermal shock as well.

The CD of bilirubin-complexes with serum albumin from a variety of species are very different under identical conditions. In several complexes, the observed CD spectrum is far more complicated than what is observed in the case of HSA. Other rotational strength mechanisms, such as coupling with protein groups, were suggested as additional sources of optical activity [239]. 

Another requirement is that the capsule should have sufficient strength. Mechanics tells us that the strength is determined by the mechanical properties of the (dry) wall polymer and by the ratio of the wall thickness to capsule diameter. We settle on a wall thickness of 3% of the diameter. Because capsule diameter and wall thickness are coupled, the release time turns out to be proportional to the capsule diameter squared. This makes it difficult to use very small capsules. With our dispersing method we do not want very small capsules anyhow the gardener should not inhale them We settle on a diameter of 0.3 mm. 

Initiation and propagation of water trees depend on a multitude of parameters electric field strength, mechanical stress, type and concentration of ions in the water, constitution of the polymer and its additives, etc. At this stage there is no satisfactory model that explains the process of water treeing. In a comprehensive review, Crine (1998) carefully considers the various types of possible mechanism in relation to a vast amount of experimental investigation, but is unable to come to any definite conclusion about primary mechanisms. Rather surprisingly, oxidation appears to play no major role (Bulinski et al., 1998). It seems only likely that ingress of water, aided by the presence of... 

The lead-free solders are mostly based on Sn-containing binary and ternary alloys. Among them, the Sn-Ag system is one of the earliest commercially available lead-free solders and has been recommended for general-purpose use as a substitute for Sn-Pb eutectic solder. Addition of nano-particles of second phase helps in improving thermo-mechanical properties such as melting temperature, mechanical strength, mechanical fatigue resistance, creep resistance and solder-joint reliability.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes are known to possess extraordinary strength. Mechanical properties of BN nanotubes would be worthy of exploration. Unlike carbon nanotubes, BN nanotubes are predicted to have stable insulating properties independent of their structure and morphology. Thus, BN tubes can be used as nano-insulating devices for encapsulating conducting materials like metallic wires Filled BN nanotubes are expected to be useful in nanoscale electronic devices and for the preparation of nano-structured ceramics. 

Mechanical stren fth tensile, flexural, impact and compressive strength Mechanical properties such as tensile and flexural strength are mainly affected by reinforcements but the addition of these materials (especially glass fiber) may also create a more brittle compound (as with reinforced polyamides), and an elastomeric modifier may often be added to counter this tendency. Elastomeric additives are also widely used to improve impact strength, especially at subzero temperatures. Mineral fillers can improve compressive strength. 

Key properties are inherent dielectric strength, mechanical toughness, thermal stability, chemical compatibility, cryogenic capability, moisture insensitivity, and radiation resistance.
