This contains characters and animals made out of wire‚ scraps of cloth‚ wood‚ cork‚ labels‚ bits of scrap metal and pieces of rubber. Calder transported his little theater in suitcases and performed it for his friends. During his performances‚ Calder invented ways to simulate

Thesis Modern architecture is new ideologies of architectural that show up in many Western countries in the decade after industrial revolution I. It was based on the rational use of modern materials‚ the principles of functionalist planning‚ and the reject of what it is exists and miscellaneous decoration. This style has been generally designated as modern‚ although the labels International style and functionalism have also been used. In rudimentary architecture the human presence can seem subject

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Rotor dynamics is the study of rotating machines and has a very important part to play throughout the modern industrial world. Rotating machinery is used in many applications such as Turbo machinery‚ Power stations‚ Machine tools‚ Medical equipment‚ etc. Failure of machinery in applications such as aero engines‚ turbo-machines‚ space vehicles‚ etc. creates enormous repair costs and more importunately may put human life in danger. Rotor dynamics is a collective terms for

applications of the experiment are to study about how to establish the shear and moment for beam and shaft. Beam and shaft are important structural and mechanical element in engineering. THEORY Consider the cantilever beam shown subjected to a number of transverse loads [pic] At any transverse section X-X: 1. the shearing force: Q=W3-W2-W1 Q=∑W 2. the bending moment:

New air technologies in the early mid-twentieth century had played major roles in war. The United States air forces were rapidly evolving between World War I and World War II. Aircraft structures and weapons developed along with the manufacture of new systems and devices. The United States Air Force made technological advancements in aviation‚ including weaponry‚ aircraft structure‚ and navigation‚ during the World Wars (1914-1945). Most strategists during the First World War saw no military

Introduction We often see bicycles in the streets and only see them as a mean of transportation or a hobby. They are easy to use‚ affordable‚ and does not harm the environment. "A vehicle with two wheels tandem‚ a steering handle‚ a saddle seat‚ and pedals by which it is propelled." Webster ’s dictionary Fair enough‚ this is true for the contemporary view of this vehicle. But actually the bicycle has evolved from different stages and forms before reaching our view of the "modern" bike. A long
