There is a new European regulation (10/2011) addressing plastic materials and components intended for food contact. It is important to understand this regulation to ensure compliance, thus protecting your company when it becomes effective. The new regulation applies to all unreinforced and reinforced plastics, including those that are reinforced with glass fibres. This presentation addresses glass reinforced plastics and the necessary changes that you should be aware of. To see more go to www.reinforcedplastics.com

crack-tip stress field

Submitted by s.r.ranganatha on
research

I am a post graduate student in mechanical engineering,
as  a part of curriculum  I am doing my thesis  work on fracture mechanics. My thesis title
is “ STUDIES ON CRACK-TIP STRESS FIELDS IN HOMOGENEOUS SOLIDS”.I  have modeled crack-tip using modified
boundary  layer. I have analysed  S22 (tangential stress) for T/σ=0, T/σ=0.34
&  T/σ=+1.my values are matching with
N.P.O’DOWD and C.F.SHIH for T/σ=0 and T/σ=0.34. But for T/σ=+1 the values of
S22 are coming for less than HRR
values.

The research group in Advanced Structural Materials and Nanomaterials (Department of Materials Science, Polytechnic Unviersity of Madrid) is looking for a graduate student to carry out his/her PhD within the framework of a collaborative research project among Michigan State University, IMDEA Materials Institute and the Polytechnic University of Madrid entitled "Understanding the Microstructural Evolution and Deformation Behavior of Mg-Mn-RE Alloys". The project is funded by the NSF of US and Spain within the Materials World Network program.

Theoretical investigation on polar dielectric with large electrocaloric effect as cooling devices

Submitted by Bo Li on
research

Polar dielectric based cooling devices are
modeled as a system with two degrees of freedom and represented by either an
entropy-temperature or electric displacement-electric field plane. A typical
thermodynamic energy cyclic path is proposed for polar dielectric as cooling
devices to experience. With the influence of temperature taken into
consideration, the free energy of a thermal electrical coupling system of polar
dielectrics is formulated, and the variation of temperature and entropy, the
absorption of heat, and the work under different electric fields are calculated
for BaTiO3, Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O3, P(VDF-TrFE), and water. And the simulation results
obtained agree well with the recently published experimental data [B. Neese, et
