Dersios sinkhole SELAS caving club in Greece has been exploring the cave, doubling the depth and more than tripling the length of the sinkhole. The new discoveries were made in 2003 by cave diving the first sump and emptying it by siphoning the water and in 2005 by emptying sumps in side passages of the sinkhole. Dersios sinkhole The Dersios sinkhole (Greek: Σπηλαιοκαταβόθρα "Ο Δέρσιος" "Spilaiokatavothra "O Dhersios"") is a sinkhole in Arcadia, Greece. The sinkhole, which has a depth of , has been known since antiquity and is located towards the north end of the plateau of Palaiochora at a height
Void (composites) void content of approximately 1% is appropriate for performance while other grades of composites can have between 3%-5% void content. A small change in the percentage of void content may not seem like a large problem however for a loaded carbon fiber laminate composite, a 1%-3% increase in void content can reduce the mechanical properties of the composite by up to 20% Void content in composites is represented as a ratio, also called void ratio, where the volume of voids, solid material, and bulk volume are taken into account. Void ratio can be calculated by the formula below where e
