Sentence examples for decreasing toughness from inspiring English sources

However, with increasing Mg content the area fraction of the grain boundary precipitates (GBPs) and the yield stress contrast between grain interiors and precipitate free zones (PFZs) at grain boundary can be increased greatly, consequently promoting intergranular fracture and decreasing toughness.

This phenomenon explains the decreased toughness observed for PLAmed SC).

When the collagen network becomes weaker with age, it will result in decreased toughness, possibly due to a reduction in natural cross-links or silicon content.

Therefore, we interpret the decreasing fracture toughness upon the degradation of expansive clays with increasing water content.

Al Cu matrix composites free of coarse Al2Cu matrix intermetallics and reinforced with 60 vol% high-strength polygonal alumina particles exhibit strength/toughness combinations that are in the same range as unreinforced high-strength aluminium alloys: the strength of the composites can be increased without decreasing their toughness.

Fracture toughness result showed that an addition of 0.05 to 0.1 wt.% ZnO decreased fracture toughness values of PMNT ceramics.

Unidirectional preforms were found to decrease fracture toughness as compared to plain weave preforms due to reduced inter-ply interaction.

The Tgs decreased, and toughness increased, as the phenolic Novolac content in the network was increased.

The stripped undissolved carbides at lower quenching temperature promoted crack propagation and cleavage fracture and thus decreased the toughness of the steel.

The long chain carbides distributed along the grain boundary and the martensitic laths with a high density of dislocations at the lower tempering temperature decreased the toughness.
