    Radiation effects on materials.

    Can anyone point me toward a good resource that relates the effects of radiation on materials? I had asked my material science professor about it, but it seems we do not cover it in this introductory class. This class is the only material science class I have to take, and I want to learn more.

    Integer quantum hall effect - edge states/bulk effects

    Hi there, I am currently learning about the quantum hall effect and am a bit confused about the edge states picture and how this fits in with the rest of the theory. In most books/review texts the theory is dicussed from the point of view of an infinite 2D system the magneteic field collapses...

    Strain rate effects on steel strength

    I was wondering exactly how yield and tensile strength increases with increasing levels of strain rate for a typical steel grade? I understand dislocations are generated during straining (work hardening), but what happens at higher strain rates which increases the strength?

    Questions about Benzene: Substituent Effects & -Cl Group

    I have some questions here about Benzene. So the presence of one substituent in a benzene ring will affect the ease and position of any further substituent group, such like -CH_3,NO_2,Cl. And it's known that the Ortho,para-directing groups or electron donating groups are ring activating...

    Exploring the Effects of Propeller Placement on Wing Lift

    If the propeller is placed in front of wings and since the job of the propeller is to accelerate the airflow, wouldn't it result in faster airflow around the wing resulting in increased lift?

    Aperture Effects: Explaining Brightness & Dimming

    If a distant object is viewed through a small ciruclar aperture that is placed close to the eye, there is an apparent "shadowing" of the center of the viewed image, while the inner perimeter of the aperture is bright. The small aperture enhances the depth of field for good focus, but the...

    Effects of Rotation on Strain in a Disk

    If a hollow disk of say radius R is heated which causes it to expand a bit and a solid disk of radius slightly greater than R is fixed inside it after which both cool down, the solid disk will be in compression and the hollow disk in tension right? Now if this disk is rotated at a some speed...

    Effects of spontaneous gravity reduction

    Can anybody direct me to a discussion on the effects of a sudden reduction of the Earth's gravity - say by 50%? Purely speculative, of course. I'm assuming its orbit around the sun would be essentially unchanged, but that the moon would recede or maybe head off on its own merry way. Any other...

    Vacuum polarization and optical effects.
