Does anyone know the tensile strength and other mechanical properties of reduced graphene oxide? I know that it has some similarities to both graphene and graphene oxide, but I can't find any data on its tensile strength.

I am wondering why the material thickness is not factored into calculating bolt shear strength in a joint. I know that it is used when calculating the strength of the material itself and its susceptibility to deformation and tear out but why not the bolt? When you cut a piece of cheese you use...

Hello all I need a high K material to cancel out E-field in some direction (induced by electromagnetism). This high K material (above 5000) must work in high frequencies above 10MHz. I did use the ceramics but there is no clue that it will work in that range of frequencies or not. I am really...

Last year in a Intro to Radiation Oncology lecture I was sitting in on, a physics professor at my school said that all a terrorist (or otherwise bad guy) would need to do to kill or at least harm a bunch of people is take a small amount of radioactive material and hide it somewhere in a desk. He...

Would you explain what "mechanical expansion or compression of a material" is? It makes no sense to me I only know thermal expansion or compression. https://www.google.tl/patents/US5004946 Thank you.

Hi PF! When doing a force balance in fluid mechanics, ##\sum F = D_t(mV)##. This equation typically results to the Navier-Stokes equations. I'm reading a the following problem: For small particles at low velocities, the first (linear) term in Stokes’ drag law implies ##F = kV##, where ##k##...

Hey guys just classified some soil according to USCS. Came up with either SM or SC. Been searching for about an hour on them but haven't stumbled upon anything that states whether they are good as a fill material or not. Any ideas?

Hello! My question is: If you travel in a material at the same speed as the speed of light (I assumed this is possible due to the existence of Cherenkov radiation) you will see the light basically stationary so you see a constant electric field which means no magnetic field. But light has both...

I have a project for my softball team and I need a material, probably a plastic, that is stiff enough to stand vertically for 24-36", yet thin like a broom bristle and can take impact. I don't want to damage the bats or break the bristles! Any help is appreciated! Thanks
