“Making Stuff Stronger‚” David Pogue explores the various types of strength in a material and how scientists can change the amount of it. Scientists can strengthen either a material’s compressive strength‚ tensile strength‚ or toughness. In addition to that‚ they can also create entirely new materials for real world purposes by altering the chemical structure. One example of this is a synthetic polymer with very high tensile strength and toughness called Kevlar®. Soldiers wear it as part of their uniforms

assume wood-plastic composite and that EF is 1‚000‚000 psi and Em is 175‚000 psi (HDPE for example)‚ then PF 6V F = PC 6V F + (1 − V F ) Then‚ PF/PC = 0.6 or 60% Strength – Unidirectional Continuous Fiber Lamina: In general‚ fiber failure strain is lower than the matrix failure strain. Assuming all fibers have the same strength‚ the tensile rupture of fibers will determine the rupture in the composite. Therefore‚ estimation of longitudinal

How effective are gugo and okra on the tensile strength of the hair? 3. Which treatment is more effective – treatments with greater concentration of okra than gugo or more gugo than okra? Procedure A. Preparation of Materials About 10‚000 hair strands were gathered from four respondents
