As the automobile industry re- structures itself to produce more fuel-efficient vehicles, many of the industries that depend on the automobile will be forced to re- structure themselves as well. The industries supplying steel, castings, aluminum, glass, plastics, and paint and their trends toward restructing are covered in this report. The organization of this report reflects an automotive focus 17. 18. and special attention is paid to the impact of changing automotive requirements. At the same time, an effort has been made to recog- nize that each industry has its own unique 4yria-mics and that auto- motive demand is only one factor influencing ^y-nQinir-c 19. 20. department of TRANSPORTAT/ON library Kay Word* Distribution Stotamont Automotive Material Suppliers, DOCUMENT IS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC Aluminum, Glass, Steel, Castings, THROUGH THE NATIONAL TECHNICAL Paint, Plastics, Tires INFORMATION SE R VICE, SPRI NGF I E LD, VIRGINIA 22161 Sacurity Clossif.

  • New Methodologies for the Documentation of Fortified Architecture in the State of Ruins
    The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume XLII-5/W1, 2017 GEOMATICS & RESTORATION – Conservation of Cultural Heritage in the Digital Era, 22–24 May 2017, Florence, Italy NEW METHODOLOGIES FOR THE DOCUMENTATION OF FORTIFIED ARCHITECTURE IN THE STATE OF RUINS F. Fallavollita a, A. Ugolini a a Dept. of Architecture, University of Bologna, Viale del Risorgimento, 2, 40136 Bologna, Italy - (federico.fallavollita, andrea.ugolini)@unibo.it KEY WORDS: Castles, Laser Scanner, Digital Photogrammetry, Architectural Survey, Restoration ABSTRACT: Fortresses and castles are important symbols of social and cultural identity providing tangible evidence of cultural unity in Europe. They are items for which it is always difficult to outline a credible prospect of reuse, their old raison d'être- namely the military, political and economic purposes for which they were built- having been lost. In recent years a Research Unit of the University of Bologna composed of architects from different disciplines has conducted a series of studies on fortified heritage in the Emilia Romagna region (and not only) often characterized by buildings in ruins. The purpose of this study is mainly to document a legacy, which has already been studied in depth by historians, and previously lacked reliable architectural surveys for the definition of a credible as well as sustainable conservation project. Our contribution will focus on different techniques and methods used for the survey of these architectures, the characteristics of which- in the past- have made an effective survey of these buildings difficult, if not impossible. The survey of a ruin requires, much more than the evaluation of an intact building, reading skills and an interpretation of architectural spaces to better manage the stages of documentation and data processing.

  • Elastomeric Materials
    ELASTOMERIC MATERIALS TAMPERE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY THE LABORATORY OF PLASTICS AND ELASTOMER TECHNOLOGY Kalle Hanhi, Minna Poikelispää, Hanna-Mari Tirilä Summary On this course the students will get the basic information on different grades of rubber and thermoelasts. The chapters focus on the following subjects: - Introduction - Rubber types - Rubber blends - Thermoplastic elastomers - Processing - Design of elastomeric products - Recycling and reuse of elastomeric materials The first chapter introduces shortly the history of rubbers. In addition, it cover definitions, manufacturing of rubbers and general properties of elastomers. In this chapter students get grounds to continue the studying. The second chapter focus on different grades of elastomers. It describes the structure, properties and application of the most common used rubbers. Some special rubbers are also covered. The most important rubber type is natural rubber; other generally used rubbers are polyisoprene rubber, which is synthetic version of NR, and styrene-butadiene rubber, which is the most important sort of synthetic rubber. Rubbers always contain some additives. The following chapter introduces the additives used in rubbers and some common receipts of rubber. The important chapter is Thermoplastic elastomers. Thermoplastic elastomers are a polymer group whose main properties are elasticity and easy processability. This chapter introduces the groups of thermoplastic elastomers and their properties. It also compares the properties of different thermoplastic elastomers. The chapter Processing give a short survey to a processing of rubbers and thermoplastic elastomers. The following chapter covers design of elastomeric products. It gives the most important criteria in choosing an elastomer. In addition, dimensioning and shaping of elastomeric product are discussed The last chapter Recycling and reuse of elastomeric materials introduces recycling methods.

Methods of siege warfare and siege defense before and after the advent of artillery are compared. Literary research conducted describes evolutionary changes made in the engineering design of fortifications. The Venetian influence in the design of Famagusta's defensive structures due to the progression of Fourteenth to Sixteenth century military warfare demonstrates the effect engineering technology has on society. CHAPTER I Introduction Engineering design change has been a result of technological advances made by societies, both past and present. During the Renaissance period in the Mediterranean, the city of Venice (Fig.
