Recent research suggests that the choice of scaffold material and its internal porous architecture significantly affect regenerate tissue type, structure, and function [2,3].
The shape and inner microstructure are the two critical properties of customised scaffold for repairing defective bone.
These characteristics and properties are often considered to be critical factors in their designing and fabrication [4].
Solid Model Creation The customised bone scaffolds are porous materials and their properties and mechanical behavior are largely determined by their porous microstructure.

These regard mix proportion, materials mechanical properties, working and curing conditions, minimal structural dimensions and so on.
Therefore, for each XS exposure class, a consistent corrosion initiation and propagation model is developed, taking into account all the relevant factors affecting the corrosion phenomenon.
The critical chloride ion concentration (or chloride concentration threshold level) Ccrit is one of the main parameters affecting the service life of RC structures.
Table II Critical chloride content for XS exposure classes Water/cement ratio XS1; XS2 XS3 0.6% 0.5% 0.5% 0.4% 0.4% 0.3% The surface chloride ion concentration depends on many factors, for example, the distance of the structure from the sea, the region of structure (i.e., atmospheric, tidal, splash, or submerged zones), and concrete properties.
These prescriptions regard materials compositions and their mechanical properties, working and curing conditions, minimal structural dimensions and so on.

The variation of mechanical properties depends on the microstructure.
Therefore, morphology, size, distribution and amount of graphite flakes are deciding factor of mechanical properties of cast iron [2-3].
Therefore eutectoid transformation plays an important role in deciding the mechanical properties of cast iron.
However, very few have studied the effect of cooling rate and mechanical properties of the casting experimentally.

With perfect mechanical property and excellent resistance to corrosion and environment degradation, Carbon fiber reinforced composite is widely used in the strengthening of metallic structures.
There are many factors that may affect the improvement of the load carrying capacity of steel structures strengthened with CFRP, such as the elastic modulus and cross section of CFRP and steel elements, the bond property between CFRP and steel elements, the type of load that the strengthened beam suffers to.
Deng [9] investigated the influence of various factors on the strength of the metallic beams reinforced with a bonded CFRP plate.
These factors include the types of CFRP plates, the tapers at the plate ends and the spew fillets of adhesive beyond the plate ends.
(3) According to the material properties of Deng [9], Linghoff [3], Colombi [8], one can compute that k is between 2.42% and 5.60%, which means the increment of the elastic load carrying capacity was insignificant.

Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) differ from natural aggregate concrete in mechanical and durability properties.
The amount of attached cement is the major reason that affects the quality of recycled aggregate (RA) [1].
Results and discussion The attached old mortar is the major factor that weakens the link between aggregate and cement past, so pre-treat RA is necessary for improvement of concrete mechanical behaviour.

The quantity of these values obtained as a result of the preliminary experiments are taken for the main levels factors.

Experimental results suggested that temperature and humidity could individually reduce the mechanical properties of Hemp fibre.
Semi empirical and neural networks were used to predict the hygro-thermal effects on the mechanical properties under static tensile loading.
It was found that the lost in stiffness of Hemp fibre following immersion in water was identified as one of the major factors in the lost of tensile modulus and strength of polyester/hemp fibre composite [10].
It was claimed that besides the humidity, micro fibril angle could also affect the mechanical properties of Hemp fibre.

Effects of Calcination Factors on the Composite Cathode Powder LSCF-SDC Carbonate by Using Dry Milling M.S.A Bakar1,a, M.F Kamaruddin1,b, S.
The effects of calcination factors on the La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-δ-SDCC (LSCF-SDCC) composite cathodes powder were investigated.
Research has been conducted in developing LSCF with SDCC and this combination is expected to yield outstanding properties to serve as composite cathode materials for low temperature SOFCs (LTSOFCs).
The molten carbonate in SDCC powder exist as an amorphous phase and not affected the phase of the pure SDC.

The vulcanizate of this compound showed good physical properties, highly electrical conductivities and also complied with Malaysia Standard 1097 [1].
The usage of these electrically conductive tire components readily affected the physical properties of tire tread, such as lowering its elasticity, increasing its rolling resistance and also reducing its wet performance.
At the first stage, ENR based masterbatches with different proportions of hybrid electrical conductive fillers and silicas (accordingly to Table 1) were prepared by using an internal mechanical mixing device (fill factor of 0.70, starting temperature 70oC and rotor’s speed 100 rounds per minute).
All vulcanized compounds were submitted for physical properties testing and also electrical volume resistances measurement.
Test samples of sulfur-vulcanized ENR based compounds showed some tensile properties values (measured accordingly to the Malaysian Standard, MS ISO 37) as summarized in Tables 3-4.

This parameter is recognized as the quality measurement of waste cooking oil that might be affecting the performance of WCO in binder modification.
The high quality of WCO affected the good performance of rheological properties where the higher rutting resistance and temperature failure at 64 0C is achieved by the modified asphalt binder with the addition of WCO in December sample.
