Two column stubs of 900 mm height and 135 mm × 135 mm cross section are provided at both ends of specimen for providing sufficient anchorage for the longitudinal reinforcement.
For the dynamic compression, the honeycombs failed with the stubbing of cell walls at the ends of specimens.
The 200 kN capacity load cells were installed on both ends of specimens to trace the stress incremental in unbonded tendons.
Three-dimensionally reinforced C/C was found to have an inclination to induce kinks at the ends of specimens due to extremely low shear strength.
The paper also discusses some loading conditions effects in the compressive strength of granite: load distribution; constraints of transversal deformation on the loaded ends of specimens; long term loads; cyclic loads.
After many plot twists, Derek Briggs started dissecting another ill-defined fossil in very thin slices and found a pair of Anomalocaris-like structures on one end of a specimen of Laggania, which also had a specimen of Peytoia attached just behind those of Anomalocaris.
The specimen under consideration was vibrated in the middle, and the frequency was picked up at the end of the specimen by an accelerometer and was recorded.
The specimens were cast in the inverted position such that each bar protruded out of one end of the specimen by 15 mm when in the upright position.
from each end of the specimen.
