In the three hanging sculptures titled "Skin" Mr. Ortega achieves a meaningful transformation by substituting soft materials for rigid ones.
The chapter also discusses the selection of material grades for rigid pipelines and risers.
Glassy carbon (GC) was chosen as the material for the rigid master mould, as no release coating is needed for replicating the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mould.
For ideal liquid crystalline materials of rigid rods, a clear-cut first-order transition between isotropic (I) and nematic (N) phase is expected when going from lower to higher densities [ 38].
Figure 1 Classification of materials from rigid to soft.
The rod is made up of a rigid material for applying the valve to an elastic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchannel.
Stochastic finite element equations for rigid – poroplastic materials are solved for the first two probabilistic moments.
The high resolution of HRMAS spectra is due to the reduction of H H dipolar couplings to few hundred Hz in many semi-solid samples, in respect to the 20 50 kHz usually found for rigid solid materials.
The stress localization aspect did not receive much attention in the past and even more so for materials modeled as rigid- or pin-jointed lattices.
Cement-stabilized aggregate reinforced with polypropylene filament fiber (CAPFF) is a new material for road base course of semi-rigid pavements whose bending fatigue performance has been rarely studied.
Overall, the success rate was 74% for rigid complexes and 18% for non-rigid complexes.
