A composite number has non-trivial factors (ie factors other than itself and 1) Thus 13 is prime but 15=3*5 is composite A number which is not composite is called prime A polynomial which has non-trivial factors is called reducible
A combination of one or more materials differing in form or composition on a macroscale The constituents retain their identities; i e they do not dissolve or merge completely into one another, although they act in concert Normally, the components can be physically identified and exhibit an interface between one another (see FRP Composite)
- A material made up of two or more different elements is classified as a composite The advantage is that multiple materials with their own unique properties can be blended together to form a better "hybrid" material, possessing qualities of each
considered the most highly evolved dicotyledonous plants, characterized by florets arranged in dense heads that resemble single flowers a modified Corinthian style of architecture (a combination of Corinthian and Ionic) used of color consisting of separate interconnected parts of or relating to or belonging to the plant family Compositae
Material brought about by combining materials differing in composition or form on a macroscale to obtain specific characteristics and properties The constituents retain their identity; they can be physically identified, and they exhibit an interface between one another
Is a combination of two or more materials, combined in such a way that individual materials are easily distinguishable Most composites have both binders (matrix) and reinforcements corona An electrical discharge caused by ionization of the gas surrounding a conductor when the voltage exceeds a certain critical value Ozone is produced in an oxygen atmosphere and this attacks most electrical insulation
A composite object or item is made up of several different things, parts, or substances. Galton devised a method of creating composite pictures in which the features of different faces were superimposed over one another. Composite is also a noun. Spain is a composite of diverse traditions and people
An average that is calculated according to specific criteria For example, one might want a composite for the rainfall at a given location for all years where the temperature was much above average
A material that combines fiber and a binding matrix to maximize specific performance properties Neither element merges completely with the other Advanced composites use only continuous, oriented fiber in polymer, metal and ceramic matrices
A "matrix" and an additional phase or additional phases consisting of particles, whiskers, fibres or any combination thereof, present for a specific purpose or purposes
