Calculations from multiple regressions indicated that compression cone firmness and dynamic stiffness have stronger influences on static stiffness than breakage force strength.
This procedure allows a sufficient number of particles that accurately result in the reliable breakage force, strength and energy distribution and prevent unnecessary tests.
Some reports in the literature indicate tensile breakage strengths of 115 N for vertical loop sutures, 75 N for horizontal loop sutures, and only 38 N for biodegradable arrows [9, 10, 11].
Finally, it was concluded that the influence of the material strength (breakage force) upon total eggshell strength (crack detector) is limited.
Most of the concepts described illustrate beneficial failure behaviour when subjected to bending, meaning significant post-breakage strength and ductility.
Several concepts even possess a post-breakage strength that is larger than the initial glass failure load, while demonstrating extensive deformation capacity.
Laboratory outcomes highlight the enhanced initial-breakage strength of the XLAB plates, as well as the influence of the laminate type on the post-failure safety, since the use of thicker (double or triple ply) and/or stiffer (such as SGP and XLAB) interlayers seemed not to improve the residual load-carrying capacity.
Furthermore, it is concluded that the reinforcement percentage has a significant effect on the structural performance of the reinforced glass beams, as it influences the initial height of the compression zone and the post-breakage strength and stiffness of the beams.
Considering that micronaire reading is used by the HVI to estimate fiber plug mass and convert breakage force to g/tex (strength unit), it might be important to bear in mind that the parent VH8-4602 anumberumber of RILs had an extremely low micronaire reading (<2.0) and this could cause a biased estimation of bundle strength.
Classical laminate theory and Hashin's criteria are used to predict strand breakage, while interlaminar strength and fracture toughness are implemented to account for strand debonding.
