Sustainable Design – Innovative design techniques

...careful to make sure that these did not contain load-bearing seams. As all of the fibers used were natural, biodegradable and renewable. Industrial composting would be an environmentally friendly option at the end of the functional life of the garment, providing that all synthetic elements (clip fastenings) were removed. For this reason, I needed to incorporate complete...

Electrochemical Grinding (ECG)

...careful control of operating conditions. Outside corner radii of 0.025 mm are possible, although inner corner radii are limited to 0.25–0.4 mm due to “overcut” during electrochemical reaction. Accuracies are typically ±0.025 mm on a one-pass cut, but ±0.005 mm can be achieved on the final pass without the use of electrolyte. See Also: Electrochemical machining and...

Photochemical Machining (Photo-fabrication; Chemical milling)

...careful design of photo-masters, but can be an advantage as it reduces stress concentrations. Surface finish depends largely on the surface of the initial material, but is typically in the range Ra = 1.6–6.3 μm. Surfaces show the grain structure of the metal, due to attack by the etchant. Dimensions and tolerances depend on material, thickness and design of the...

Soil as the book of nature

...care for soils? Knowledge of the soil's physical, chemical and biological make-up is important for various disciplines. For example, nutrient levels are important for crop production, soil shear strength is crucial for engineering construction, and its structure could also be a deciding factor for football pitches! It also has more exotic uses, such as a beauty accessory...
