Their behaviour has been evaluated on the basis of several parameters, namely: the in-section arrangement of hoops, the effective confinement ratio, the spacing of hoops normalized to the longitudinal bar diameter, etc.
The mechanical behaviour has been evaluated in terms of cold crushing strength (CCS) at room temperature and three point bending modulus of rupture (MOR) at 25 and 1260 °C.
New composites of carbon with different metal compounds (tin, iron, nickel and vanadium oxides and sulfides) have been obtained at low temperature from petroleum residua, and their electrochemical behaviour has been evaluated in lithium test cells.
The influence of environment and fatigue waveform shape on crack growth behaviour has been evaluated in a workhorse turbine disc material, Inconel 718, at 600°C through an experimental programme that investigated crack growth from a notch geometry.
The catalytic behaviour has been evaluated by choosing two transesterification processes: a simple model such as the reaction between ethyl butyrate and methanol and the production of biodiesel from sunflower oil and methanol.
To this purpose aliquots of Cu-NPs mixed to four types of commercially available consolidant/water-repellent products have been applied to different stone and plaster surfaces located in the archaeological area of Fiesole, and their behaviour has been evaluated for more than two years, showing appreciable performances [8].
Financial incentives may be used as a means of influencing professional behaviour but these have been evaluated almost entirely in high-income settings.
By using the main constitutive laws proposed in the technical literature to model the confined concrete behaviour, the moment curvature diagrams have been evaluated for a significant number of study cases by means of a specifically developed computer program based on a refined fibre model.
Electrical insulating behaviour and micro-hardness evolution have been evaluated.
