What are some beneficial or harmful implications of genetically engineering?

What are the implications of strengthening mechanism on engineering materials?

• Answer:

  strengthening mechanisms reduce the stresses in the engineering material thereby increase the load bearing ability of a material, in other words its life is increased Like in case of composites (material that is made by physically combining two or more different materials) strenthening mechanism such as induced fibre enhances the mechanical properties of the material such as toughness, flexibility, hardness etc. In addition the weight of the material is also less than the very material having the same set of above mechanical properties, this advantage opens wide range of applications for composites, for example in aeroplanes, automobiles, tyres, etc
