This repeated material stiffening at the beginning of each loading block delayed crack growth.
The algometer was calibrated before the beginning of each test using a load of 100 kPa.
One minute after the beginning of each experiment, cells were loaded with the potentiometric dye TMRM (Sigma-Aldrich) in Krebs-Ringer at a final concentration of 30 nM at 37°C.
Moreover, at the end of construction and at the beginning of the surcharge load applications, the values of ΣTmax and sum of the connection load, ΣTo, were similar.
OTS-affected athletes are usually able to perform normally in the beginning of the training load, but are not able to complete at the expected pace (i.e., OTS-affected subjects tend to fatigue too early compared to healthy athletes).
The results show that the pop-in behavior occurs at the beginning of the loading process.
The pressure gradient is quite uniform at the beginning of the loading, when the fracture is wide open (Fig. 7a).
At the beginning of the loading procedure, tensile, compressive, and shear stresses reached the minimum at about 65 mm away from the middle of the beam.
The tensile behaviour of woven reinforcements is specific because the undulations due to weaving lead to strong non-linearities at the beginning of the loading.
The stress strain state of the cross section was investigated from the beginning of the loading up to the stage exceeding ultimate limit state.
