This decision may be based on field experience, on the evaluation of a particular material for a given environment, or on modeling.
The choice of a particular material, for a certain product, to perform a certain function, is a task that is all too often jumped over, either because the choice looks obvious, or because habits of convergent thinking lead the engineering designer to persist in the most usual material for the application.
Here x specifies the fraction of atoms that are silicon atoms, and Au1 - xSix denotes a particular material in this family of materials.
The conductivity of a particular material with respect to electrical current is called electrical conductivity (EC), and expressed in units of Micro Siemens to centimeter.
This knowledge could be beneficial when attempting to determine the behavior of a particular material from its three-dimensional structure.
Typical structures corresponding to cyclic strain localization are shown in each class of materials and they are discussed in relation to the characteristic internal structure of a particular material and the types of dislocations participating in cyclic plastic deformation.
Choosing a particular material triggers a cascade of related events, including changes to the supply chain, the impact of recycled versus raw material, the processing technology for that material, the products it goes into, and its disposal or recovery at its end of life.
The Young's modulus is a measure of the stiffness of a particular material.
Then, if the majority of pixels certify the presence of a particular material, it would imply that this material could be present dominantly in the contiguous pixels too.
While there is a growing number of thin film materials that can be used for MEMS devices, the selection of a particular material is rarely based on quantifiable criterion that relates directly to the optimum performance of the device.
Following hair pipes to their contexts of exchange and consumption is second part of this project, where hair pipes are best understood as an innovation in the use of a particular material culture type to sustain, form, and reify identities and relationships in the face of increasingly violent colonial dispossession.
