In particulate-reinforced viscoelastic materials, the interfacial debonding between particles and matrix is usually a significant damage mechanism.
A significant damage to the historical architectures in the Durbar Square of Downtown Kathmandu was observed, while the damage to masonry structures in the surrounding area was limited.
In such cases, there is a significant damage accumulation as a result of multiplicity of earthquakes, and due to lack of time, any rehabilitation action is impractical.
In general it was found that in C/C SiC composites a significant damage-related increase in AE energy was observed close to the ultimate tensile stress.
In particle or short-fiber reinforced composites, cracking of the reinforcements is a significant damage mode because the broken reinforcements lose load carrying capacity.
However, a significant damage enhancement factor has been observed for 1.8 MeV electron irradiation when the classic non-ionizing energy loss (NIEL) is used for calculating equivalent displacement damage.
The effect of the irradiation is a significant enhancement of the critical current in the sample not exhibiting intrinsic defect ordering and a significant damage in the sample exhibiting a fishtail effect.
Conclusion: Based on the above observations it was concluded that the administration of Centella asiatica ©1,000 mg/kg b.wt for a period of 30 days may cause a significant damage to liver tissue in rats.
Testing results demonstrate that delamination at the interface between composite and integrated device is a significant damage mechanism in tensile performance degradation and the delamination propagation depends on the ply angle of the SUS/θ interface.
However, particle fracture is not a significant damage mode during the shearing deformations of the composite, and this is reflected in differences between the torsional and tension behaviors of the material.
Simultaneously it comes along with higher numerical effort concerning modelling and computation which is justified only in case of important structures having a significant damage potential as it is with low coverage.
