Composite materials, often shortened to composites or called composition materials, are engineered or naturally occurring materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties which remain separate and distinct at the macroscopic or microscopic scale within the finished structure. A common example of a composite would be disc brake pads, which consists of hard ceramic particles embedded in soft metal matrix. . Another example is found

The history and evolution of materials used to make automotive engine blocks The engine is an essential part of an automobile that provides tractive force to drive the entire vehicle. Most of the current engines are the integral section of a vehicle which is built in different arrangements and more complex as compared to the early engines. The common parts present in an engine include camshaft, rocker arms, pistons, crankshaft, flywheel, both oil and fuel pumps and other various components. The

of anticorrosion coatings that both possesses passive matrix functionality and actively responds to changes in the local environment has prompted great interest from material scientists. Corrosion is one of the most major destruction processes involved in material loss, and its prevention is paramount in protecting investments. Active corrosion protection aims to restore material properties (functionality) when the passive coating matrix is broken and corrosion of substrate has started. The

is rare for a single technology to have the power to dramatically influence almost every major industry in the world. Nanotechnology falls into this category and offers fundamentally new capabilities to architect a broad array of novel materials, composites and structures on a molecular scale. This technology has the potential to drastically redefine the methods used for developing lighter, stronger, and high-performance structures and processes with unique and non-traditional properties.

Conor Glettenberg English 101 Professor Turner 23 July 2014 Lightning Rod Attraction: Blunt Tip vs. Pointed Tip Abstract: This paper explores the effects that lightning rod tip geometry has on lightning. To determine the most effective tip geometry various types of rods including pointed, concave, blunt, flat, and conical were tested with electric pulses in a lab and in real lightning situations. It was observed that the blunt shaped rod was the most efficient shape for creating a path

a figure of 5% to 17% reduction in CO2 emissions can be derived by the use of solar energy to pre-heat water. This report details the equipment necessary for such a domestic solar hot water system (DSHW). The information has been used in a design matrix to create a viable system for southern Ontario from the many alternatives available.
