QUESTION 1 Why would an engineer be interested in yield strength of a material for a particular application? In civil engineering‚ an engineer should always be concerned in yield strength of a material for a particular application. Yield strength is defined as the point where materials begin to deform plastically. Before the prior of yield strength the materials deform elastically and will return to its original shape when the applied stress is removed. The knowledge of this is important for engineers

“SMART MATERIALS” ABSTRACT The world has undergone two materials ages‚ the plastics age and the composite age‚ during the past centuries. In the midst of these two ages a new era has developed. This is the smart materials era. According to early definitions‚ smart materials are materials that respond to their environments in a timely manner. The definition of smart materials has been expanded to materials that receive‚ transmit or process a stimulus and respond

Investors of asset backed securities (ABSs) are subject to interest rate risk. When interest rates rise‚ the prices of ABS fall‚ and vice versa. The risk of rising interest rate will affect yields because it may influence the pace of prepayments of the underlying loans. This is normally in the case of mortgages consumer asset backed securities. The underlying borrowers of asset backed securities may fail to make interest and principal payments when due and unable to meet other obligation such as
