The two most important polyamides are poly(hexamethylene adipamide) (Nylon 6,6) and polycaprolactam (Nylon 6). Both have excellent mechanical properties including high tensile strength, high flexibility, good resilience, low creep and high impact strength (toughness).
Answer:
Sheet metal forming dates back to the days of the blacksmith who used a hammer and hot oven to mold metal into the desired form. Today’s aircraft technician relies on a wide variety of powered and hand-operated tools to precisely bend and fold sheet metal to achieve the perfect shape. Forming tools include straight line machines, such as the bar folder and press brake, as well as rotary machines, such as the slip roll former. Forming sheet metal requires a variety of tools and equipment (both powered and manual), such as the piccolo former, shrinking and stretching tools, form blocks, and specialized hammers and mallets.

Reflection helps designers to learn from their experiences, to integrate and co-ordinate different aspects of a design situation, to judge the progress of the design process, to evaluate interactions with the design context, and to plan suitable future design activities.
Answer:
11.6 mm
Explanation:
With a factor of safety of 5 and a yield strength of 900 MPa the admissible stress is:
σadm = strength / fos
σadm = 900 / 5 = 180 MPa
The stress is the load divided by the section:
σ = P / A
σ = 4*P / (π*d^2)
Rearranging:
d^2 = 4*P / (π*σ)
