The theory explaining this fracturing recognizes two general types of behavior exhibited by material under stress: elastic and plastic deformation.Elastic deformation occurs when stress is placed or a brittle material, whichdeforms and then returns to its original shape when stress is removed. If thematerial is stressed too heavily, however, excess energy builds up and the material fractures. This behavior makes brittle material fracture suddenly whe n subjected to mechanical impact by powder-making machines. Nonbrittle, or ductile, materials by contrast, are harder to fracture, since they respond to comparable amounts of stress by deforming plastically, that is, by changing sh ape permanently.Excess energy that builds up in the strained material is expended in deformation of the material rather than in fracturing. Plastic behavior can al so be exhibited by brittle materials as their particles become smaller during processing and thus less susceptible to fracturing.反义词28.

However, to their contemporaries in philosophy and the arts, thisdevelopment suggested society’s disintegration into conflicting interests.The political economists acknowledged that diverse occupations represented com peting perspectives on society, since what one knew was a function of what one did, but they viewed specialization as a source of social unity. Individualswho produced only one product or service must depend on others for most of the ir needs; this, specialization was the basis of social cohesion. The common go od depended upon everyone’s dependency guaranteed the unity and therefore the health of society.A fundamental problem with this concepts recognized even then, was that specialization seemed to preclude anyone’s being able to demonstrate that thesociety was unified.If everyone’s knowledge of society was tied to specialized occupational interests, who was in a position to monitor society’s overall functioning?作文一It is primarily through formal education that a culture tries to perpetuatethe ideas it favors and discredit the ideas it fears.If a goal is worthy, then any means taken to attain it is justifiable.作文二For the past 5 years, consumers in California have been willing to pay twiceas much for oysters from the northeastern Atlantic coast as for Gulf coastoysters. This trend began shortly after harmful bacteria were found in a few raw Gulf coast oysters. But scientists have now devised a process for killing the bacteria. Once consumers are made aware of the increased safety of GC oysters, they are likely to be willing to pay as much for GC as for northeastern ACoysters, and greater profits for GC oyster procedures will follow.。
