"I'm not sure exactly what fatigue looks like in a composite structure," he said Thursday.
In all other major groups of vertebrates, the pectoral girdle is a composite structure.
These pieces provide a connection between beam and slab, thus producing a composite structure.
Another funicular form used in concrete, though it is really a composite structure, is the inverted dome, or dish.
And sometimes these properties can be used to provide desirable features, especially when substances are formed into a composite structure that combines a number of abilities.
David P. Maass, an aviation engineer and an expert on composites, said that one method was ultrasonic testing, in which high-frequency sound waves, too high for the human ear to hear, are pumped into a composite structure.
Liquid cobalt then reacts with the surface of the WC, and when the part is cooled the cobalt freezes, holding the WC tightly together to form a composite structure with enough toughness to be used for tools and dies.
The fibres can be aligned in different directions, allowing engineers to tailor the strength and flexibility of a composite structure precisely.The large-scale use of carbon fibre began in aerospace.
These powders, and the binders that bond them to the cellulose fibres of the paper, form a composite structure that sits around the fibres, control of which changes the weight, shininess and stiffness of the paper that allows the look and feel to be manipulated.
Both tissues owe their properties to a composite structure.
Thus, the foam fills the gaps between structures, and the robot can build a composite structure.
