The threshold values of the maximum energy release rates, GImaxth, under R = 0.1 were 70 J/m2 for Zanchor 0 (base laminate without Zanchor reinforcement) and 240 J/m2 for Zancor 2 (the density of Zanchor reinforcement is twice as high as the unit density), respectively; those under R = 0.5 were 80 J/m2 for Zanchor 0 and 400 J/m2 for Zancor 2, respectively.
Two different fibre architectures, varying only by the density of through-thickness reinforcement, were investigated.
The main inhibition mechanism is most likely due to the adsorption of the corrosion inhibitor on the steel surface, leading to a reduced corrosion current density of the steel reinforcement.
The discussion addresses additional control procedures that would be needed to evaluate the role of reinforcement density during treatment.
The crosslink density values and extent of reinforcement were estimated in order to correlate with the gas barrier properties.
In this note, five series of numerical parametric studies are carried out, to investigate the effects of length, density, reinforcement area, axial rigidity of face bolts and strength of soil on tunnel face stability and deformation in soft rock.
For a given volume fraction of inclusions, the compaction pressure to achieve a given relative density increases with diminishing size of reinforcement.
Manoharan and Gupta (1999) measured the density of SiC-reinforced AA 1050 as-cast and extruded composite samples by the Archimedes principle and observed that the density increased with the weight percentage of reinforcement.
Reinforcer Type of reinforcement applied.
The slope of this decline in reinforcement effectiveness is the delay-of-reinforcement gradient [ 68, 69].
