In laminated materials, repeated cyclic stresses, impact, and so on can cause layers to separate, forming a mica like structure of separate layers, with significant loss of mechanical toughness. Delamination also occurs in reinforced concrete structures subject to reinforcement corrosion, in which case the oxidized metal of the reinforcement is greater in volume than the original metal. The oxidized metal therefore requires greater space than the original reinforcing bars, which causes a wedge like stress on the concrete. This force eventually overcomes the relatively weak tensile strength of concrete, resulting in a separation or delamination of the concrete above and below the reinforcing bars. The cause of fiber pull out another form of failure mechanism and delamination is weak bonding. ref Serope Kalpakjian, Steven R Schmid. Manufacturing Engineering and Technology .

  1. Delamination (geology)

    File Sierra Nevada Mountains.JPG thumb 250px Sierra Nevada Mountains formed by delamination as seen from the International Space Station . In geophysics , delamination refers to the loss and sinking of the portion of the lowermost lithosphere from the tectonic plate to which it was attached. This can occur when the lower portion of the lithosphere becomes more dense than the surrounding Mantle geology mantle . Because of the instability of higher density material atop lower density material, the lower lithosphere separates from the tectonic plate and sinks into the mantle. ref cite journal last Kay first RW coauthors Mahlburg Kay, S. year 1993 title Delamination and delamination magmatism journal Tectonophysics volume 219 issue 1 3 pages 177 189 doi 10.1016 0040 1951 93 90295 U ref Delamination is of two basic types brittle or ductile.

    Red rot also redrot is a degradation process found in vegetable tanned leather . ref Applebaum, Barabara. Guide to Environmental Protection of Collections p. 185. Sound View Press, 1991 ref Red rot is caused by prolonged storage or exposure to high relative humidity , environmental pollution, and high temperature. In particular, red rot occurs at pH values of 4.2 to 4.5. Sulfur dioxide converts to sulfuric acid which forms hydrogen peroxide . The peroxide combines with residual tannin s in the leather to oxidize proteins, creating ammonium sulfate and ammonium bisulfate ref Stambolov, Todor. Environmental influences on the weathering of leather . From International leather and parchment symposium, vol 8. May 1989.

  1. Moisture Sensitivity Level

    Moisture Sensitivity Level relates to the packaging and handling precautions for some semiconductors. The MSL is an Electronics electronic standard for the time period in which a moisture sensitive device can be exposed to ambient room conditions approximately 30 C 60 RH . Increasingly, semiconductors have been manufactured in smaller sizes. Components such as thin fine pitch devices and ball grid array s could be damaged during Surface mount technology SMT reflow when moisture trapped inside the component expands. The expansion of trapped moisture can result in internal separation delamination of the plastic from the die or lead frame, wire bond damage, die damage, and internal cracks. Most of this damage is not visible on the component surface. In extreme cases, cracks will extend to the component surface. In the most severe cases, the component will bulge and pop. This is known as the popcorn effect. IPC electronics IPC Association Connecting Electronic Industries created and released IPC M 109, Moisture sensitive Component Standards and Guideline Manual. Moisture sensitive devices are packaged in a moisture barrier antistatic bag with a desiccant and a moisture indicator card which is sealed. IPC M 109 includes seven documents. According to http www.siliconfareast.com msl.htm IPC JEDEC s J STD 20 Moisture Reflow Sensitivity Classification for Plastic Integrated Circuit IC SMDs, there are eight levels of moisture sensitivity.

  1. Porcelain tile

    Refimprove date December 2009 Image Chinese porcelain tiles, Cochin synagogue.jpg thumb right 285px Hand painted Chinese porcelain tiles on the floor of a Jewish synagogue in Kochi, India Cochin , Kerala , India Porcelain tiles are ceramic tiles with a water absorption rate of less than 0.5  percent that are used to cover floors and walls. They can either be unglazed or Ceramic glaze glazed . The hardness of the tile is rated from zero to five according to the ASTM C1027 or ISO 10545 7 test for surface abrasion resistance of glazed tile. This rating, sometimes mistakenly called the PEI rating determines the tiles suitability for various end use conditions. Large scale production of http www.acorntiles.com porcelain tile is undertaken in many countries, with the major producers being China , Italy , Spain and Turkey . There are also countries undertaking small scale production, such as Australia and strong growth in developing countries such as Brazil . Porcelain Tile is also a very common trend in tile installation. There are many different styles of porcelain tiles on the market and they have proved to outperform ceramic tile in durability and looks. It is important to note that the differences of the body of the porcelain tile, as it relates to ceramic tile, has caused many job failures of tile installations. Tile setters that are self trained and novices to the industry will often use cements or mastic to install the impervious body of the porcelain tile to a substrate only to have delamination occur rather quickly. Highly Modified cements are necessary for installation of this material due to the very qualities that make it such a durable long lasting decorative surface. Those specifications are determined by and dictated as industry standards by the Tile Council of America, ref http www.tileusa.com ref and supported by the Tile Contractors Association. ref http www.tilecontractor.org ref references See also Ceramic tile cutter Diamond drilling porcelain Pag ...   more details

  1. SympaTex

    Unreferenced date June 2008 SympaTex is a type of fabric that is branded as waterproof with breatheable fabrics made or licenced by SympaTex Technologies GmbH. The fabric features a waterproof, windproof and breatheable artificial membrane membrane that is laminate d to fabrics either on its inner surface or sandwiched between two fabric layers often marketed as 3 layer laminate . The latter system offers greater durability, by better protecting the integrity of the SympaTex layer from abrasion to both the outside and the inside of the garment. Overview Image Laminierprozess.jpg thumb 250px Lamination The SympaTex membrane is made of hydrophilic polyether ester block copolymer , which is closed i.e. it has no pores . Like its more common polyurethane equivalent, it can also be referred to as a monolithic membrane. No water can get in from the outside, but water vapour molecules are transported through the membrane from the inside to the outside by way of an absorption and evaporation process. This moisture transfer through the membrane is what is referred to as breatheability. A closed membrane like SympaTex differs from microporous membranes such as eVent or now discontinued Triplepoint Ceramic which have microscopic pores that let air and water vapour pass through, yet have such low surface energy that the surface tension of any liquid water in contact remains too high to allow it to squeeze through the pores. Microporous membranes have traditionally been let down by the contamination of their pores which significantly degrades their breatheability and commonly also have poorer adhesion to fabrics making them more susceptible to delamination. SympaTex s co polymer consists of polyester for molecular strength, and polyether to transport water molecules. The membrane weighs about 30g per average jacket. The membrane is at least 5 micrometres thick, translucent, and stretchable with good stretch recovery. The SympaTex membrane is completely recyclable and relatively ...   more details

The system became operational in 1981. The satellites were manufactured by TRW . The solar arrays of the satellites had a span of over 13.2 m. A special characteristic was an UHF transmit antenna reflector 4.9 m in diameter. The satellites had 12 transponders, which worked in the UHF range from 240 400 megahertz. Additionally FLTSATCOM 7 and 8 had an experimental EHF transponder built by Lincoln Laboratory intended to test the MILSTAR ground terminals. The first seven satellites had a launch mass of 1884 kg and the remaining two were 2310 kg, with the additional mass due to the EHF payload module. The fifth satellite reached geosynchronous orbit, but was unusable due to damage to the solar arrays and antennas. The failure was attributed to explosive delamination of the fiberglass Composite honeycomb honeycomb fairing during flight.
