Poor durability in design may result in a structure losing its performance to the extent where structural integrity is no longer satisfied and human lives are at stake. Moreover, the associated costs of maintenance and repair due to inadequate design considerations are high. Thus, designing for durable structures not only helps sustain our infrastructure, it also reduces future costs. This thesis identifies the key factors that define and impact durability, with particular attention paid to the effect of material choice on overall durability. This follows a study of the different deteriorating mechanisms that wood, steel and reinforced concrete undergo over time, and the different enhancement techniques used to reduce the adverse effects of these mechanisms.

  • Applications of Aluminium Alloys in Civil Engineering

There are several reasons for such an adverse state. Those that stand out are the late development of a regulative framework for the design of structures, and still the need for improvement, lack of knowledge on application examples and not stressed enough potential areas of use. However, positive trends are present and aluminium alloys are competitive, especially if their positive properties can be utilized and negative properties diminished through purpose oriented design approach. Given examples present good application utilization of aluminium alloys characteristics, and shown new application research can provide directions for further expansion of competitiveness. Structural uses are grouped in suitable areas of application and put into local and global context.

Nekoliko je uzročnika takvog stanja. Ističu se relativno kasni razvoj normativnog okvira za dimenzioniranje konstrukcija, i još uvijek potreba za poboljšanjem, nedovoljna raširenost saznanja o primjenama te nedostatno naglašena potencijalna područja primjene. Međutim, pozitivni trendovi su prisutni, a legure aluminija su konkurentne, posebno ako se njegova pozitivna svojstva mogu iskoristiti, a negativna umanjiti kroz proračunski pristup orijentiran prema namjeni.

  • Structural Composite Materials Tailored for Damping
    L Journal of Alloys and Compounds 355 (2003) 216–223 www.elsevier.com/locate/jallcom S tructural composite materials tailored for damping D.D.L. Chung* Composite Materials Research Laboratory, University at Buffalo, State University of New York, Buffalo, NY 14260-4400, USA Abstract This paper reviews the tailoring of structural composite materials for damping. By the use of the interfaces and viscoelasticity provided by appropriate components in a composite material, the damping capacity can be increased with negligible decrease, if any, of the stiffness. In the case of cement–matrix composites, the use of silica fume as an admixture results in increases in both the damping capacity and the storage modulus. In the case of continuous fiber polymer–matrix lightweight composites, the use of submicron-diameter discontinuous carbon filaments as an interlaminar additive is more effective than the use of an interlaminar viscoelastic layer in enhancing the loss modulus when the temperature exceeds 50 8C. Surface treatment of the composite components is important. In the case of steel reinforced concrete, the steel reinforcing bar (rebar) contributes much to the damping, but appropriate surface treatment of the rebar further enhances the damping. 2003 Elsevier Science B.V.

Received: 23 February 2019; Accepted: 10 March 2019; Published: 14 March 2019 Abstract: Conducting polymers (CPs) have attracted significant attention in a variety of research fields, particularly in biomedical engineering, because of the ease in controlling their morphology, their high chemical and environmental stability, and their biocompatibility, as well as their unique optical and electrical properties. In particular, the electrical properties of CPs can be simply tuned over the full range from insulator to metal via a doping process, such as chemical, electrochemical, charge injection, and photo-doping. Over the past few decades, remarkable progress has been made in biomedical research including biosensors, tissue engineering, artificial muscles, and drug delivery, as CPs have been utilized as a key component in these fields. In this article, we review CPs from the perspective of biomedical engineering. Specifically, representative biomedical applications of CPs are briefly summarized: biosensors, tissue engineering, artificial muscles, and drug delivery.

  • Glossary of Materials Engineering Terminology
    Glossary of Materials Engineering Terminology Adapted from: Callister, W. D.; Rethwisch, D. G. Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction, 8th ed.; John Wiley & Sons, Inc.: Hoboken, NJ, 2010. McCrum, N. G.; Buckley, C. P.; Bucknall, C. B. Principles of Polymer Engineering, 2nd ed.; Oxford University Press: New York, NY, 1997. Brittle fracture: fracture that occurs by rapid crack formation and propagation through the material, without any appreciable deformation prior to failure. Crazing: a common response of plastics to an applied load, typically involving the formation of an opaque banded region within transparent plastic; at the microscale, the craze region is a collection of nanoscale, stress-induced voids and load-bearing fibrils within the material’s structure; craze regions commonly occur at or near a propagating crack in the material. Ductile fracture: a mode of material failure that is accompanied by extensive permanent deformation of the material. Ductility: a measure of a material’s ability to undergo appreciable permanent deformation before fracture; ductile materials (including many metals and plastics) typically display a greater amount of strain or total elongation before fracture compared to non-ductile materials (such as most ceramics). Elastic modulus: a measure of a material’s stiffness; quantified as a ratio of stress to strain prior to the yield point and reported in units of Pascals (Pa); for a material deformed in tension, this is referred to as a Young’s modulus. Engineering strain: the change in gauge length of a specimen in the direction of the applied load divided by its original gauge length; strain is typically unit-less and frequently reported as a percentage.

These steels generally offer interesting perspectives looking for improved mechanical properties. UFG Powder Metallurgy hot work tool steels (HWTS) can be fabricated by high energy mechanical milling (MM) followed by spark plasma sintering (SPS). However, similarly to most UFG and Nano-Crystalline (NC) metals, reduced ductility and toughness result from the early plastic instabilities in these steels. Industrialization of UFG PM Tool Steels requires the application of specific metallurgical tailoring to produce tools with sound mechanical properties or in a more optimistic way, to break the Strength-Toughness “trade-off” in these materials. Among the possible ways proposed to restore ductility and toughness without losing the high strength, “Harmonic microstructure” design seems to be a very promising endeavor in this regard.

  • Du Pont Family
    GENEALOGY of the DU PONT FAMILY 1739-1949 Copyright 1943 by PIERRE S. DU PONT Designed and Printed by HAMBLETON COMPANY, INC. Wilmington, Delaware 1949 GENEALOGY of the DUPONT FAMILY HIS WORK is one of compilation only. Members of the du Pont family have furnished Tthe information necessary for complete and accurate results and have earned thereby the gratitude of their fellow members. To Henry A. du Pont we are indebted for the greater part of our information con­ cerning the generations of the family prior to the year 1739. His voluminous work UThe Early Generations of the Du Pont and Allied Families" is of inestimable value. The collection of the genealogical data in chart form was started by Coleman du Pont in cooperation with Ferdinand La Motte, Sr., more than twenty-five years ago. Much in­ formation was supplied from the photograph album of the du Pont £e,mily compiled by Louisa du Pont Copeland about 1900. This album was republished and brought up to date by William Winder Laird, Jr., in 1935. These workers deserve our thanks for their part in this undertaking. Bessie Gardner du Pont's interest and years of work in examining and translating letters and documents continues to hold fust place in its inspiration for continued study of family history. Much of the _present work is due to her example and to the accuracy of her pen. Much of the credit for securing the information necessary to make this revised edition of the genealogy as complete and up-to-date as possible is due to Miss Aileen du Pont, who has spent much time and effort in obtaining data from various branches of the family.
