the specimens‚ but both tests make use of a pendulum-testing machine. For both tests‚ the specimen is broken by a single overload event due to the impact of the pendulum. A stop pointer is used to record how far the pendulum swings back up after fracturing the specimen. The impact toughness of a metal is determined by measuring the energy absorbed in the fracture of the specimen. This is simply obtained by noting the height at which the pendulum is released and the height to which the pendulum swings

Pros and Cons of Nuclear Power What’s nuclear power’s biggest advantage? It doesn’t depend on fossil fuels and isn’t affected by fluctuating oil and gas prices. Coal and natural gas power plants emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere‚ which contributes to climate change. With nuclear power plants‚ CO2 emissions are minimal. According to the Nuclear Energy Institute‚ the power produced by the world’s nuclear plants would normally produce 2 billion metric tons of CO2 per year if they depended on

Conor Morrison Dec. 8‚ 2011 From Grimm to Gorgeous When we live in the world we live in‚ there will be conflict‚ confrontation‚ and a solution. Often times‚ when it is a matter of someone being offended‚ this results in censorship of whatever happened‚ or the artwork that was displayed. That is not always a bad thing though‚ for example the Grimm brothers’ children’s and household tales. These gruesome tales have been changed and edited due to their nature of murder‚ incest‚ rape‚ and other

Camshaft-controlled diesel engines have been the state of the art ever since the birth of reciprocating machinery and have been refined and developed ever since. However‚ a mechanical cam is fixed once made and‚ in spite of various mechanical and hydraulic add-on devices like VIT‚ etc.‚ timing control possibilities are limited with mechanical cams. Not least fuel injection pressure control and variation over the load range have limitations with a camcontrolled engine. Therefore‚ the main purpose

Presentation within is a synopsis of the conceptual development of a piezoelectric controlled hydraulic actuator. This actuator was develop for use as a replacement for the camshaft in an internal combustion engine (ICE). Its development results in a new device; called‚ the camless engine (CLE). The objective of the project was to prove the concept of a CLE. More specifically‚ it is a electro/hydraulic device capable of producing engine valve displacement at typical automotive demands. The goals

melting produces magma chambers above the subducting oceanic plate. These magma chambers are less dense than the surrounding mantle materials and are buoyant. The buoyant magma chambers begin a slow ascent through the overlying materials‚ melting and fracturing their way upwards. The size and depth of these magma chambers can be determined by mapping the earthquake activity around them. If a magma chamber rises to the surface without solidifying‚ the magma will break through in the form of a volcanic eruption
