Talk:GLARE

Glare is NOT a composite!!!
I see that Glare has again been pushed into the "composite material" category, when I clearly explain in the introduction that it is NOT!

If it must be classified, then "heterogenous mixture" is the only correct description.

Glare is itself a MIXTURE of a METAL and a COMPOSITE. The Wikipedia description of a composite material (at the time of writing) states quite clearly that a composite consists of reinforcement and matrix... which only describes the fibre layers, totally ignoring the metal layers which make up the majority component!

I will have to edit the article again since people seem unable to grasp this concept.

 * The above Wikipedia definition was not in accord with industry or materials science usage of "composite material"; the current WP article is, and quite properly GLARE matches the current (and industry and materials science) definitions of being a composite material. I have put the category back in and fixed the description in the article intro.  Georgewilliamherbert 19:01, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

How about filling this in for Glare?

 * Poisson ratio=0.35

Nice idea, but impossible to fill in such figures since they vary depending on the layup and layer thicknesses... as well as the alloy, glass type and matrix materials applied. - MossMan (talk • contribs) 09:40, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

References or Sources
I see that the article has been flagged as missing sources. Well I used my own work and experience - so apart from the "Around Glare" book, there's not a lot of generic description to cite from. MossMan 09:50, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Someone directed me to this page in a Patent search.

There is a phrase in this article:

"GLARE is currently (2004) the most successful FML, patented by Akzo Nobel in 1987"

I found this Patent, or at least the Published Application, EP 0 323 660.

The Patent can be found here:

http://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/originalDocument?CC=EP&NR=0323660A1&KC=A1&FT=D&ND=3&date=19890712&DB=worldwide.espacenet.com&locale=en_EP

If you want to add that as a "source" please do so. I leave it up to you expert Wikipedians to figure out whether it is relevant or not.

Good article!

 * Support. The page GLARE already redirects here, and as what User:Marcus Qwertyus said, the capitalisation is a sufficient disambiguation. Yours faithfully, Kotak  kasut . 13:26, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
