    Use Of Composite Materials For Aircraft Value – Aerospace Applications

    An aircraft is made of several components. Though it takes off and flies as a single flight. Yet it comprises numerous components separable and continuous as a single independent aircraft. Composite structure makes the 787 dreamliner light and strong. It also reduces the cost of components made.  Picking up or choosing a material for  aircraft…

    Composite Material Matrix – Types of Composites | Fiber Composite | Uses

    Composite materials have played a predominant role throughout human lives. From early civilization to enabling future innovations. A composite is a material obtained by amalgamation of two or more distinct materials to achieve a material with enhanced properties compared to the parent materials. These two or more different materials are quite dissimilar  in toughness, compression…

    Guide to Sieve Analysis Test for Fine Aggregate

    Sieve Analysis is a common method adopted to measure the grain size distribution of an aggregate which is termed as gradation. It is often used in civil engineering and material testing field. This analysis can be done both in fine and coarse aggregates.  Aggregates having mean grain size which are less than 4.75 mm are…

  • types of column failure

    Column Failure and its Different Types

    Column is a very important structural component that boosts the structural integrity . It transfers the load from the structure to the ground through foundation. The entire stability of structure lies on how perfect the column is designed and constructed. When designing structures, understanding column failure is crucial to ensure the safety and stability of…

    Alternatives to Aggregates for Cheap and Better Concrete

    Traditional aggregates can be replaced by a number of other materials while making concrete. Aggregates are one of the main components of concrete, which is the most widely used construction material in the world. However, the extraction and consumption of natural aggregates, such as river sand and gravel, have negative impacts on the environment and…
