Final Essay Amalgam Vs. Composite; Which one is the better of the two? There are two types of dental fillings that most people know about‚ the amalgam also known as those big silver fillings‚ which seem to be not the prettiest looking ones in your mouth. Or the other choice is the composite also known as tooth-colored fillings‚ which you can’t even tell they are in there. The most common known that has been used for over one hundred and fifty years is the amalgam. The newest craze

The composite or white fillings offer various advantages over amalgam. The majority of today’s patients will choose white fillings over silver. The reason for that is the mercury in the amalgam is often viewed as potentially toxic and cause sensitivity. Depending on which tissue it settles in‚ it will differ from one person to another. The suggested answer is that mercury from fillings doesn ’t cause a specific disease. It causes poisoning‚ and a very small number of people are allergic to metals

Composite Materials A composite is a combination of two or more materials bonded together to gain some overall necessary goods. Types of composite include: laminated materials fibre composites particle composites. A laminate contains thin pieces of material fused together. Common examples are plywood and car windscreens. Wood is durable when exposed to a ductile force equivalent to its grain‚ but if the strength is across the particle it splits simply. A windscreen is made in a parallel way; two

Composite materials A composite material consists of two or more physically and/or chemically distinct‚ suitably arranged or distributed phases‚ with an interface separating them. It has characteristics that are not depicted by any of the components in isolation Most commonly‚ composite materials have a bulk phase‚ which is continuous‚ called the matrix‚ and one dispersed‚ non-continuous‚ phase called the reinforcement‚ which is usually harder and stronger. The arrangement of the fiber in the matrix

COMPOSITES COURSEWORK DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF A LAMINATED COMPOSITE TUBE ABSTRACT This report details the process for the design of a composite laminate tube‚ the software package ’MathCAD’ was used to determine a lamina design with a configuration that avoids mechanical failure under loading conditions. It was also used to obtain twist angles and maximum stresses for specific lamina wind up angles. The report will provide analysis of the methods used to obtain these criteria. AIM Use a Mathcad

In Computer science client-server is a software architecture model consisting of two parts‚ client systems and server systems‚ both communicate over acomputer network or on the same computer. A client-server application is a distributed system consisting of both client and server software. The clientprocess always initiates a connection to the server‚ while the server process always waits for requests from any client. When both the client process and server process are running on the same computer
