The phrase "a strength increase" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to fitness, physical training, or any situation where an improvement in strength is being discussed.
Example: "After several weeks of consistent training, I noticed a significant strength increase in my upper body."
Alternatives: "an increase in strength" or "a boost in strength."
This corresponds to a strength increase of 40% confirming the quantitative strain-rate effect observed in the earlier study.
It was concluded that the addition of nanoparticles, mainly nano-Al2O3, to the concrete mixtures can lead to a strength increase, both in shear and in bending.
Using these data, our modelling predicts a permeability reduction of four orders of magnitude (for volcanically relevant temperatures and depths) and a strength increase of a factor of six on the order of days to weeks.
Results show that there is an optimum value for the activator:solids ratio and the alkali concentration, and that a decrease in the Na2O:ash ratio results in a strength increase.
As with limestone, a strength increase was observed when dolomite is added at temperatures >5°CC due to the formation of additional carbonate AFm phases and the stabilization of ettringite.
Considering the properties evaluated, blended lime-cement mortars can be used but cement content should be higher than 25% (of total binder mass), so that there is a strength increase at early age, and lower than 50%, in order to not significantly affect compatibility.
However, a significant strength increase is observed with increasing strain rate for the X-ray micro CT based particle model.
A 60% strength increase was measured for UD carbon-fiber-reinforced polyamide-6 at the same strain-rate levels.
This would result in a larger diameter and thinner cortex than would be expected with isometry, resulting in a mechanical strength increase over bones of similar mass but with relatively thicker cortices and smaller outer diameters.
This year saw Samsung claim a 1.7 times strength increase within its Galaxy S6 smartphones to try and stop bending.
Addition of slightly denser foams can lead to an even larger strength increase.
