Ductile Metals
Ductile metals are metals that can undergo significant plastic deformation under tensile stress before failure. Ductility is an important consideration in engineering and manufacturing, as it describes a material’s suitability…

The tipping angle of a load is an important consideration when dealing with the rotational equilibrium of machines or structures. In this article, we will learn more about the applicability…
Generally, the term ‘flexible’ is not technically accurate for describing the characteristics of metals. Rather, a flexible metal is one that combines two key metallic attributes, which are malleability and…
Surface finish symbols characterize the overall texture of a surface. Often, this characterization is in terms of only the surface roughness. But an in-depth description covers other parameters such as…
Concrete construction is everywhere, however, it does come with disadvantages. These disadvantages include low strength, high weight, and high costs. In this article, we review the disadvantages of concrete as…
The most reactive metal group on the periodic table is the alkali metals. In this article, we review why that is true and the use of these metals in laboratory…
Minor losses in pipes stem from a divergence in flow direction, diameter change, and the presence of disturbances. They do not include frictional (major) losses, which are the result of…
A battery room provides a suitable storage location for keeping batteries protected and isolated. These batteries may serve as a backup energy source or part of an uninterrupted power system….
A fight to the death? A bit dramatic perhaps. 🙂 Engineering and scientific notation are both ways to simplify very large or small numbers so that they are easier to…
Hz and dB, which represent Hertz and decibels respectively, are units that characterize sound waves. Both units are key in fields such as acoustics, quantum mechanics, and wave mechanics. In…
