Thickness Literature Reviews Samples For Students

Introduction

Thin films are in use since ages, and in old times people used to beat gold with hammers into thin films about less than one μm thickness and then used this thin film for gold coating of different stuffs. Thin films are used in many materials and do use them in daily life but are not aware of it. If one wax cars or paint homes that mean, they are applying a thin film.

Bulk Material VS thin film

Bulk materials are those materials that are mined. They are referred to as Bulk solid in mining and mineral industry. The material that can be stored ...

Women’s health is an important area to consider. Particularly, the critical stage in their life is the stage when they achieve the motherhood. Numerous care specialists investigated this specific stage so as to gain insights of clinical importance. In such context, the present description deals with a topic, Mammography-Literature review on Breast compression.
Briefly, a breast compression refers to ‘breast flattening’ such that the adequate quantity of tissue could be visualized through imaging and tested, during a mammographic examination (Breast Compression,2015)
Rationale: Breast compression, at the time of mammography, is one of the various fundamental technical approaches ...

In order to allow for free movement of electrons, graphitic carbon materials have a tendency of sharing crystalline domain (Fitzer & Köchling, 1992) for increased conductivity (Walker, P. L., 1973). In the study carried out by (Novoselov, et al.; Bazaroz & Nikolaev, 1989; Liu et al., 2004; Harfanist et al., 2004; Coleman et al., 2006), the use of graphitic carbon in several applications including the next generation electronics, composite materials (Coleman et al., 2006; Chen, I.-H., Chen, C.-Y., & Wang, 2010), activated carbon fibers, fuel cells (Wang, Zhao, & Niu, 2007; Marta, et al, 2008), sensors and batteries (Besenhard, 1999; Hess, Lebraud & Levasseur, ...

Introduction

Concrete refers to the mixture of Portland cement of any other form of hydraulic cement, fine, aggregate, the coarse aggregate, and water that could be with or without water. Concrete remains to be an ancient material of construction that was first in use in the Roman Empire. In the present world, concrete is part of the sophisticated material to which other constituents can be subject to add to produce a product that is capable of achieving the 50,000-psi compressive strength. According to Koren & Hall (2012, p. 35), the strength of concrete is subject to consider being the most ...

1.1 Overview
Quantum mechanics is a branch of Physics that deals with the behaviors of energy and matter in the smallest perspective such as the nuclear, atomic, and microscopic levels. Quantum, meaning “how much”, refers to the quantifiable units to energy and matter as observed and predicted through physics. This branch of studies stated with mathematical reasoning of certain experiments that are non-explainable through the classical mathematical methods. Physics revolutionized during the early 20th century (Coolman, 2014). Various models has been developed by scientists since them to help them in their experiments in studying particular behaviors of reaction mechanisms ...

Introduction

Tensile testing is usually conducted to select a material for its application, quality control, and to forecast how the material is likely to react on deployment of different types of forces. The properties evaluated through the tensile test include the ultimate tensile strength, the maximum elongation, X-area reduction and so forth. These evaluations facilitate determination of such properties as Young’s Modulus, yield strength, Poisson’s ratio, and the characteristics of strain hardening [1. 2]. Tensile testing on glass fibre is, thus, performed to determine the quality of the material it contains, and to ascertain its suitability for various applications.

Abstract

PEBAX (Polyether Block Amide) is essentially a copolymer that offers the most comprehensive range of advantages among the several thermoplastic elastometers (TPE) that are available today. TPE is popular by the trade names of Vestamid E and Pebax as they are manufactured by two companies namely Evonik Industries and Arkema respectively. There are a number of favorable properties that Pebax use and because of such properties, it is currently being extensively used in a plethora of applications like industrial and medical as well. . Remarkable elastomeric properties, a wide range of service temperature, and in several cases, exceptionally great resistance ...

Body armor, not a new phenomenon, has been progressively used by security and military forces to mitigate serious injuries during their professional activities. Soft body armor and hard body armor design became more effective against projectiles and stabbing, and light in weight for the comfort of wearers’ activities. Originally developed by the Japanese, soft body armor is constructed of woven or ballistic resistant fabrics and can surpass 30 layers. In 1970s, the manufacture of Kevlar® was sponsored by the National Institute of Justice. Modern hard body armor is much lighter and effective since it has a large amount of new generation ...

Literature Review

Several methods exist that are used to identify and characterize fractures (Burnett, 2011). Seismic method is the most effective method of identifying aligned fracture sets. Aligned fracture sets render a rock seismically anisotropic; this implies that the velocities of seismic waves moving through the rock will depend on their direction of propagation (Verdon & Kendall, 2010). The way through which seismic anisotropy manifests itself includes azimuthal variation in reflection amplitudes (Hall & Kendall, 2000). Fromme (2011) investigated the scattering directivity of the A0 Lamb wave mode at through-thickness defects in aluminum plate from FE simulations (Zhou, Li, Mao, Mevel & Ou, 2013). There ...

Abstract

This paper clearly presents and defines the numerical study on how hollow building block operates to suppress the convectional currents and reduce the amount of heat flux transferred across the petition of the building wall. The configuration and weight of these blocks have made them to fully be utilized in building the facades. The air filled cavities (hollow cells) together with the small cross-sectional area geometry provides an appropriate elevation for the building block. The hollow polythene bars inserted in this bricks also helps to reduce the heat by about 36% depending on the petition number (Mejad 2006).

Abstract

Computed Tomography CT refers to an imaging procedure that has been popular over the last decade in the imaging of the human body. In coronary artery imaging, this procedure is called Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography (CTCA). This technique is used specifically in the imaging and assessment of the cardiac and coronary anatomy to determine if one has a coronary artery disease or to determine the extent to which the individual has been affected by the disease. This procedure is also used to evaluate the coronary arteries and their anatomy. There are also other methods or techniques that are used in ...
