1 To what extent is the cork industry guilty of complacency and a lack of innovation? The cork industry is guilty of complacency and lack of innovation because they failed to recognize the changes in the wine industry. The wine industry was experiencing a revolution where new producers from Australia, California and Chile had new and different requirements. It took only a matter of years for the industry to change completely and the cork industry did not jump on the band wagon when it needed to

Engine Fastener Safety Michael Adams Embry Riddle Aeronautical University As everyone in the Aviation industry knows safety is paramount to all aspects of flight operations.one aspect that gets overlooked by most people is how exactly the little bits and pieces create an aircraft that can operate safely. The importance of aircraft hardware is often overlooked because of the small size of most items. However, the safe and efficient operation of any aircraft depends upon the correct selection

stopping by each workstation during the next two weeks to implement these settings on your computer. In addition to these energy- and cost-saving strategies, recycling initiatives will be implemented. Containers for several types of renewable materials will be placed throughout the building. Containers for the following items will be placed in the break rooms, kitchens, and other central gathering areas on each floor. Metals: Metal products include items constructed primarily out of aluminum

We need to stop and think before we open the bottle and drink. Plastic water bottles and plastic in general, is destroying our environment. Here are some simple facts to help you see my point. In 2012 32 million tons of plastic waste was generated in the U.S., and that represents close to 13 percent of the total MSW (municipal solid waste) (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2014). Out of the 32 million tons of plastic waste that was created in 2012 only 9% was recycled (U.S. Environmental Protection

LIQUID METAL EMBRITTLEMENT (LME) RAGHAV MOHAN Graduate Student M.S in Technical Entrepreneurship and Management University of Rochester INTRODUCTION Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) is a phenomenon of practical importance, where certain ductile metals experience drastic loss in tensile ductility or undergo brittle fracture when tested in the presence of specific liquid metals. Generally, a tensile stress or a residual stress is needed to induce embrittlement. Many mechanisms

stress and strain for various materials. The Stress-Strain Apparatus stretches (and in some cases breaks) a test coupon while it measures the amount of stretch and force experienced by the test coupon. Software is used to generate a plot of stress versus strain, which allows Young's Modulus, the elastic region, the plastic region, the yield point, and the break point to be ascertained. Theory The ratio of the force (F) applied to the cross-sectional area (A) of a material is called the stress:
