Sentence examples for constant specimens from inspiring English sources
Some calcified demosponges grow by only 0.2 mm per year and, if that rate is constant, specimens 1 m wide must be about 5,000 years old.
Specimen void ratio was calculated from the volume change measurements during the drained shear tests while a constant specimen volume was maintained in the undrained shear tests.
They are calculated according to Eq. (1), assuming a constant specimen thickness of 30 nm as it was estimated by EFTEM [46].
The quantity H TOT exhibits a decreasing trend with increasing laser pulse energy between 40 and 80 pJ at laser pulse frequencies of 100, 250, and 500 kHz at a constant specimen tip base temperature of 20 or 50 K.
At any given time beyond the first 14 days, the expansion was more for the constant current specimens than for the constant voltage specimens as seen in Fig. 9.
With respect to corrosion damage, it was observed that during the corrosion process, there were more longitudinal cracks in the constant current specimens than in the constant voltage specimens.
Since, circumferential expansion is one of the primary indicators of damage, it can be said that the constant current specimens suffered more damage than constant voltage specimens, although the percentage steel losses were comparable (8.10 % for constant current versus 8.13 % for constant voltage).
Also, the maximum crack widths for the constant current specimens were greater than those of the constant voltage specimens.
Furthermore, the constant current specimens also experienced greater circumferential expansion than the constant voltage specimens.
Considering all of these visual indicators of damage, and considering that both methods produced similar steel loss, it can be said that the constant current specimens showed greater signs of damage than the constant voltage specimens.
The cracks observed in the constant current specimens were also longer and the maximum crack widths measured were also larger than those in the constant voltage specimens as shown in Table 1.
