Plasticity and formability: Due to its thermoplastic properties, PP can be made into various shapes through blow molding, injection molding and other processing methods. Fatigue resistance: PP has good fatigue resistance under fatigue stress, making it perform well in some applications that require durability. ...
Every organisation has its own socio-environment, and thus, its own psychosocial stress factors. The employees have to work under these stressors that induce in them mental fatigue. This paper identifies the main psychosocial stressors in accordance to their effectiveness value that would help in reducing mental fatigue of engineers and thus ...
Mixing techniques used to reduce porosity in bone cement demonstrate large improvements in fatigue behaviour in test specimens, but do not appear to reduce the rate of loosening of implants in vivo. We examined data showing the effect of notches on fatigue strength and found, surprisingly, that notches with low stress-concentration factors (Kt ...
It has been suggested that the "low-cost" model of air travel generates excessive levels of stress and fatigue amongst flight crew. Pilots were interviewed at a UK-registered low-cost carrier (LCC). Most said they felt stressed and fatigued. Despite its subjectivity, the pilots' testimony suggests that ...
