Mechanical properties of several products from a single heat of type 304 stainless steel
From winter meeting of American Society of Mechanical Engineers; Detroit, Michigan, USA (11 Nov 1973). Tensile and stress-rupture tests were run on several products from a 90-ton heat of type 304 stainless steel. The yield stress of the products in the as-received condition varied from 26,500 to 57,200 psi at 75 deg F. There were significant differences between the strengths of various products and considerable variation for a single product due to nonuniform residual cold work. Reannealing 0.5 h at 2000 deg F resulted in yield stresses in the 25,000 to 27,000 psi range; only the properties of the hot- reduced tubing fell below this range. At a test temperature of 1100 deg F, the as-received products had yield stresses from 14,800 to 35,500 psi. Reannealing caused the yield stresses of all but three products to fall in the range 10,200 to 11,700 psi. Stress-rupture tests at 1100 deg F on the reannealed products did not reveal significant variation in properties. (auth
Thinking disability orientation : practicing affirmation
Introduction: Occupational therapy’s theoretical base is
informed by beliefs in empowerment, partnership, choice and
hope — all key components in client-centred practice (Sumsion
and Law 2006). In order to be client-centred, it is important
to appreciate an individual’s perception of their own disability,
known as their disability orientation.
Disability orientation, as described by Darling and Heckert
(2010), includes three aspects: disability identity; adherence to
a particular model of disability, and involvement in disability
rights activism. Each type of disability orientation will affect the
disabled person’s beliefs and feelings about themselves, their
impaired bodies and their disabled lives. This, in turn, is likely to
influence their expectations of and satisfaction with occupational
therapy services. Therefore, occupational therapists aiming to
work within a client-centred approach should be cognisant of
this concept and consider its possible impact on their therapeutic
approach.
This seminar will:
– Explore the concept of disability orientation and discuss
examples of different orientations;
– Examine the affirmative disability orientation as it relates to
occupational therapy;
– Enable participants to analyse and understand their clients’
disability orientation;
– Discuss strategies to provide intervention informed by a client’s
disability orientation.
Case studies will be used to promote discussion and explore
practical ways to ascertain an individual’s disability orientation.
The affirmative disability orientation will be discussed in
particular.
Impact on service users: Understanding disability orientation
could lead to enhanced client-centred and culturally sensitive
practice.
Implications for occupational therapy: Contribution to the
improvement of practice through the development of culturally
sensitive therapeutic strategies
