Constructor Detail

MaterialFactory

public MaterialFactory()

MaterialFactory - A constructor that adds the default materials.

MaterialFactory

public MaterialFactory(java.io.Reader r)

MaterialFactory - Create a material factory from the XML library specified by the Reader r.

Parameters:

r - Reader

Method Detail

canCreate

public static boolean canCreate(Element el)

createMaterial

public static Composition createMaterial(java.lang.String name)

createMaterial - Creates the material based on the type identified as one of the integer constants listed above.

Parameters:

name - String - One of the predefined named constants

Returns:

Material

createPureElement

public static Material createPureElement(Element el)
                                  throws EPQException

createPureElement - Create a simple material based on a pure element and a nominal density for a typical solid manifestation of this element.

Parameters:

el - Element

Returns:

Material

Throws:

EPQException

append

public void append(java.io.Reader r)

append - Append the materials in the XML library specified in the Reader R to the current library.

Parameters:

r - Reader

write

public void write(java.io.Writer wr)

write - Write the current library to the specified Writer as an XML file.

Parameters:

wr - Writer

addMaterial

public void addMaterial(Material mat)

addMaterial - Add a material to the current library.

Parameters:

mat - Material

estimatedDensity

public static double estimatedDensity(Material mat)

estimatedDensity - Compute an estimated density for a mixture of the element specified by the Material. The assumption is that the density of the Material is the weight percent weighted average of the densities of the constituent elements. (Ok! So its just an estimate.)

Parameters:

public Material getMaterial(java.lang.String name)

getMaterial - Get the Material specified by the given name.

Parameters:

name - String

Returns:

Material
