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.

Geoff Morris, February 2006

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)[reply]

How about filling this in for Glare?

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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!

The new name differs from glare only by case of letters. Is that enough? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 07:54, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I put a hatnote, which should do it. Hatnotes, not title dabs, are the customary way of doing it. Miracle Pen (talk) 12:19, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Capitalization is sufficient disambiguation. Marcus Qwertyus 21:08, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
