Properties determined by mechanical testing, such as yield strength, ductility, ultimate tensile strength, hardness, bendability, impact strength, etc.
This paper introduces calculation of bolt connectin supported by eccentric sheal force on the basis of ultimate strength and compares ultimate strength method with elastic method.
After experimental data processing, material's viscousness coefficient was acquired and a new method to determine fatigue limit by the threshold of plasticity energy dissipation was given.
I do not focus on the Limits to Growth world model because I want to pick on its potent political implications (the first version did, after all, inspire a generation of antigrowth activists).
