Experimental investigations of the strength of small objects – such as micropillars or nanowires – often point towards a trend of increasing strength with decreasing dimension, 1– 3 approximating the theoretical shear strength when the size drops to the lower nanometer region.
Figure 3 illustrates a trend of compressive strength development of HESC with different ( f_{cd}^ ) for the same T max.
Correspondingly, the cumulative meta-analysis for comparison of the loss of function variants with stent thrombosis showed a trend of decreasing strength of association as information accumulated.
For PP/CaCO3 composites, an increasing trend of stiffness with filler loading was found while a decreasing trend of strength, ductility and fracture toughness was observed.
In our study, there is an increasing trend of strength with increasing Vp but, as shown in Figure 9, there is a high degree of spatial anisotropy with respect to Vp such that a robust correlation of strength to elastic wave velocity is difficult to obtain.
A trend of increasing bond strength with reducing notch spacing is identified and analyzed in terms of local stress state, the onset of microyielding and crack shielding.
In the concentration dose-response study, peak stress was greater for all treatments when compared with the control but not different among treatment groups; however, there was a trend of increased bonding strength with increased concentration.
Detection limits for PCBs are equivalent to or lower than for EI with a trend of increasing signal strength with increasing degree of chlorination.
Both testing procedures revealed a trend of improved interfacial shear strength for the lignin-treated fibres compared with untreated fibres for all investigated matrices.
Overall, those changes led to a trend of decrease in bending strength after SCI (a 17% decrease in pMOI, P = 0.056).
In general, the predicted values showed the general trend of strength development as a function.
