Background Theory. Polyethylene Polyethyene is a type of polymer that is used in our daily life. Polyethylene(abbreviated PE) is a thermoplastic polymer‚ meaning that is can be melted to a liquid state and remolded as it returns to a solid state. PE is chemically synthesized from ethylene‚ a compound that is usually made from petroleum or natural gas[1]. The main mechanical properties of PE are the ultimate tensile strength and the modulus of elasticity. There are different types of Polyethylene

The force and extension results gained‚ can be converted to stress and strain values according to the following equations: Tensile Stress: σ = F / A Tensile Strain: ε = ΔL / L Where these expressions stands for: σ: Stress (Pa) F: Force (N) A: Area (m2) ε: Strain ΔL: Change in length (m) L: Length (m) Theory: In this experiment‚ a test was carried out to investigate two materials‚ the GF

The strength of the bond to a loved one can be used as an indicator to gauge the level of criminal deviance (Hope & Paat‚ 2015). Justin Bourque underwent a psychiatric assessment after he was arrested and charged for the Moncton shootings. The assessment shows that there was significant strain between Justin Bourque and his mother‚ who home-schooled him and also resented his interest in video games (Bissett‚ 2014). The majority of

Identifying the symptoms‚ along with an accurate diagnosis of the underlying cause of the pain‚ is the first step in obtaining effective pain relief.1 A lot of lower back pain is caused by damage to the muscles and/or ligaments in the low back. While a muscle strain doesn’t sound like a serious injury‚ the resulting

Also‚ I implemented several other instruments such as mechanical strain gauge‚ crack measuring instrument‚ deflection dial gauge and inclinometer. In the project‚ firstly I tested three specimens; SP1‚ SP2‚ SP3 which had the varying detail of the reinforcement. For further investigation‚ I chose specimen‚ SP 2. Fig: Detail of

L = level (in m) g = acceleration of gravity (g = 9.81 m.s-2) Ms= specific mass of the liquid (kg.m-3). Consequently‚ it is sufficient to measure the pressure to obtain the level. Among the different available pressure transducers‚ the STRAIN GAUGE ones have become the mostly used. The operating principle of these transducers is the piezoresistivity (property of the materials which change their resistance as function of the deformation to which they are subjected). The four resistors
