Composite materials are comprised of fibres and matrices. Most of the loads applied to a composite material will be carried by the fibres. However, as composite materials are anisotropic in nature if an applied load cannot be carried by the fibres then it must be carried by the matrix. As a result there needs to be an efficient interface between the fibres and matrix for load transfer.
Due to their low weight, high strength and resistance to creep composites are becoming increasingly attractive for high temperature applications. Epoxies degrade at these temperatures so another matrix, such as silicon carbide, are necessary. However, carbon fibres do not bond well with a silicon carbide matrix and as shown here will be pulled out of the matrix when a threshold load has been exceeded. Improving this interface is critical if the utilisation of composite materials is going to increase in high temperature applications.

Disclaimer: The photo albums in this Flickr account are not intended to be collections of my best hand-picked images. Such images are included but the vast majority of images, 4800 and counting, commingled amongst the few gallery-worthy images, are snapshots, bad shots and missed shots (the bad shots containing some element of the composition that strikes my fancy despite its flaws thus saving it from the Recycle Bin and the missed shots being those photos where the exposure and/or DoF were not completely appropriate). There is trip documentation and there are pure experiments (including multiple treatments of the same scene such as different angles, different post processing, different times of day, sunrise/sunset progressions, zoom progressions, etc.).

Bike racing fan of the 80's was not only about the racing, the innovation around access to watch saw a revolution.
This era of the 80's saw the beginnings of Satellite TV, suddenly access to these races for generality across continents was possible. We were in a world where we could now follow riders, racers across a season, at the time also free.
That is, if you had a satellite dish.
Eurosport, and those early German channels were a great way into the world of Grand Prix, Superbike, Club racing. Following a British rider as said through a season was of course a new luxury.
Up's and downs of a year in racing to view in real time was to me a new exciting innovation in access.
Scotland's Niall Mackenzie timing wise was among those in this new media of satellite tv. Print media readership was still strong, social media was not a thing as now where riders can manage their own content to a degree. With that in mind.
Took it upon myself to file up what was in storage at my once parents house and garage. The T-Shirts I kept going and do pick up occasionally even still now. Old racing T's now a collectable it appears..
Road Racer magazine and RPM issues I have just filed up Mackenzie although do have some other back issues. Birthday cards were designed by Kevin Sheppard, T's Mostly by Mick Fisher. .An assortment of memorabilia from mugs to phone cards.
Reasons for, worked as a photojournalist and researcher, archival. A case of news desk national and, which I still do, 17th Century archives. So kinda what I did and do.
Mackenzie files really are a source file, looking at 80's 90's which was a golden age really racing wise. A personnel project to see in regards of a rider of that time, coverage via publications, where print gives a profile of and the dynamics of that.

A pullout of the close-up below showing most of the carvings found between two large rock formations in Wadi Rum, Jordan.
The carvings depict a variety of nomadic activities that Bedouin who reside in the area would have carried out.
See the bubbles?
For many years there has been a pullout and a sign indicating the location of Frying Pan Spring but no way to see the whole feature which is a short distance from the road through a very healthy and thick lodgepole pine forest. Finally when the road was rehabilitated some years ago, the pullout was slightly enlarged and a first rate boardwalk back through the woods to the site of this complex (though not especially beautiful) geothermal feature was built. It is still one of the least-visited interesting sites in Yellowstone.
It's name derives from the constant bubbling of some of the feature's pools, (visually, but not aurally) reminiscent of a sizzling pan. The pH of this feature is a remarkable 1 - about as acidic as it gets - so don't stick a finger in it. Fine place to hide a body, though.
Folks are seeing the booby from Hwy 1 pullouts, so caveat emptor. I walked down from the Highway pullout to this rock for an excellent scope view.
This is at the Laguna Pueblo vista point pullout in NW New Mexico. About an hour after I made this shot, I started getting into a line of storms that were coming right up I-40. In this car, I decided safety first, and went to ground to try again the next day.

Beautiful Moose Lake, at the pullout on the East end of the lake along Highway 16 through Mount Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia
This is a view towards the east from a pullout on Montezuma's pass.
Maybe I did not explore closely enough but It sticks in my mind from a previous trip that the border to the west is pretty much a wire fence. However from this point east it appears to be a tall well fortified fence. It appears in this photo as a strong dark straight line that bends to the east near the center.
Given the level of hardship and poverty I can understand why illegal want to come across. I believe that we need to protect the border from drug runner and other forms of crime that come across. Also we need to stop the illegals for their own safety.
What really concerns me is what I have heard on PBS (Bill Moyers) about large corporations encouraging them and then hiring them because they are a large cheap labor force that is afraid to complain because of their fear if being deported.
If you want to get rid of prostitutes you start arresting the Johns. If you want to stop a minor in possession then go after the adults that supply them.
When is the last time you ever heard of a corporation getting busted for hiring illegals!
We could make getting work visa easier but the human resource departments of these corporations do not want them coming legally because then then they might have a right to complain about working conditions.
Yes, we need to protect our borders but as long as it is in our business interest to keep them coming the problem will not be solved.
We need severe and stiff penalties to the employers, both large corporations and small businessmen, before this will stop.
...with frequent pullouts, as one can see - but driving that zig-zaggy road for the first time, in the fog, was not pleasant. It goes over a mountain pass that is only 200m lower than the highest mountain in the Faroes.
This is the wall-side bedside table (a shelf with a pullout extention). The extension is very precarious and even smaller than the tiny "table top." Items can easily fall off and between the wall and cabinet. Shifting bedcovers knock items off the shelf and tabletop. The light switches and a 110 outlet are above the tabletop. The light switches can easily be hit and reset by an elbow when sitting up in bed. There is no space to stand so you kind of have to slide in and out -- way too small for even an average size person. It's been a big topic in the lounge and dining room discussions among passengers.
There's a pullout about a half mile below the summit of Signal Mountain and a trail leads to a viewing area which gives a somewhat less obstructed view of the Tetons. This shot was taken from that viewing area and looks to the south and west across the southern end of Jackson Lake.

Mt. Tom from a 395 scenic pullout. John Muir Wilderness is in the mountains to the left. We're on our way north out of Bishop. I didn't realize this was the other side of the mountain that we had been below in the morning while in the Buttermilk Country until after we got home and examined the map, and noticed the similarities.

A lifer for me today. Seen at Portland's 122nd NE Pullout of Marine Drive on the Columbia River in Multnomah Co. Oregon; Feb 19 & 20, 2014.
A view from the pullout at the north end of Kamloops Lake. I took this pano on my way to Prince George. I got this shot by hiking above the pullout to almost the top of the rock outcrop above the pullout.

Snapped with my high-performance Kodak Instamatic along the northern bank of the Colorado River and from a pullout on whatever road preceded the construction of this portion of Interstate 70.
It took me many hours to do it, but I finally found this exact spot, or its highly altered modern version, on Google Earth Street View. There I happened across an exact match of the requisite landforms sitting in just the right relation to one another.
I was, it turns out, adjacent to what is now the Hanging Lake Tunnel. I want to give my field-course profs a lot of credit for having us stop here: it was the teaching moment that was that summer’s most resounding refutation of their own reductionist souls. For this was science of geology at its most operatic, full of dramatic effects and epic scenery.
Regrettably, I have not revisited the canyon since this part of the interstate was put in. But I’ve recently discovered that even a virtual drive down it on Google Earth reveals much of the astounding civil engineering that went into squeezing the roadway through even the most seemingly inaccessible nooks and crannies of that narrow defile. The soaring cliffs are one wonder of nature; the ribbon of concrete below them is another. For, as I keep reiterating, our busy little species and all of its works are as much a part of the natural order as the mountains themselves.
In a post on FM 170, the Rio-Grande-skirting two-laner in Big Bend Ranch State Park, I noted that there were certain stretches of it, festooned with recent rockfalls, that must be driven through as an act of faith, on days when one is feeling nice and lucky. If you take a look at its accompanying photo, you’ll see why I say that.
I-70 in Glenwood Canyon is one of those places, too, and even more so. According to the first of my sources cited below, “about $11 million has been spent trying to protect this highway, which has been one of the most rockfall-prone sections of the entire interstate highway system.”
But geologists do feel lucky to be here, because this is undoubtedly one of the most awe-inspiring exposures of the Great Unconformity anywhere.
To explain what this famous feature is, it’s best to first point out what makes up the great cliff that dominates the background beyond the narrows. The darker bottom half, which lacks stratification, is an assemblage of both igneous and metamorphic rocks dating to about 1.7 Ga. This makes them Paleoproterozoic in age. But the more orderly set of lighter-toned layers above this mass is an impressive sequence of Paleozoic-era sedimentary units.
The Cambrian-period Sawatch Sandstone lies at the bottom of the stack. Above it, in order of ascent and decreasing age, are the Cambrian Dotsero Formation, the Ordovician Manitou Formation, the Devonian Chaffee Group, and the Mississippian (Lower Carboniferous) Leadville Limestone.
But the contact between the Sawatch and the Paleoproterozoic rock beneath it represents a significant gap in the geologic history of the Earth. And that is the essence of an unconformity. It’s a place where there’s a break in the sequence of the rock record that was caused either by a long phase of no deposition or by quite a bit of subsequent erosion.
Much closer to my home, in northern Illinois’ Buffalo Rock State Park, there’s an unconformity where Pennsylvanian (Upper Carboniferous) beds lie directly atop Ordovician ones, with a truly imposing gap between them of about 200 Ma. But here in Glenwood Canyon, the missing portion is a staggering six times that—1,200 Ma, or 1.2 Ga. And the Great Unconformity is, using more geo-jargon, a great nonconformity as well. That means the break in the rock record separates underlying crystalline (igneous or metamorphic) rocks from sedimentary strata above.
Curiously, the same gap is found exposed by the Colorado River far downstream, in Arizona’s Grand Canyon. It was there that explorer John Wesley Powell coined the term “Great Unconformity.” And it’s also visible in many other places, including Wisconsin’s Devil’s Lake State Park. Can you think of a reason why, in various places on the planet the same immense gap exists? You can be sure that this problem has powerfully exercised the intellects of many geologists. Could have it had anything to do, for instance, with the “Snowball Earth” conditions that existed for part of that interval?
I’m sure there’s much to be said about each of the rock units visible in this image. But I suffice it to single out the Leadville Limestone, at the very top of the layer cake. Normally bluish in color, there is a place about 37 straight-line mi / 60 km due south of here where this carbonate rock has suffered significant contact metamorphism. This transformation was caused by the intrusion of a nearby body of magma. As a result, the Leadville has been cooked into the lustrous, pure-white to golden-veined Yule Marble.
The Yule’s tight-grained texture and appearance is of premium quality. This fact has not been lost on the greatest marble experts of them all, Italian quarriers from the Carrara Marble district of Tuscany’s Apuan Alps. Despite the Yule’s remote location, they have undertaken the considerable challenge of extracting it from a giant chamber within Yule Mountain. Amazingly, much of this sought-after rock type is shipped to their own country’s ornamental-stone market, where it competes successfully with the Carrara itself.
