The shape of the strain gauge, 15 mm × 5 mm in size and 33 μm ~ 38 μm in thickness, was adjusted with dimensions base on the curve of femoral head.
For fabricating the pristine nanofibers by electrospinning, the silk/PEO solutions were injected using 10 ml disposable plastic syringe fitted with a 22needle gauge (0.7 mm OD × 0.4 mm ID).
Under isoflurane anesthesia, guide cannulae (20 gauge, 10 mm long) were implanted 2 mm over the CeA of mice using the following coordinates from the mouse brain atlas of Paxinos and Franklin (2004): AP: −1.25; ML: ±2.70; DV: −2.70 mm from Bregma.
and implanted with a guide cannula (18 gauge; 4 mm long) aimed above the dura mater (AP: +1.0 mm; ML: +1.0 mm; DV: 0.8 mm).
Both layers were baked 1 hr at 80°C, pealed off the wafers, trimmed to size, and holes were punched with 20 gauge (0.812 mm) for solution inlets (flow layer), 14 gauge (1.628 mm) for solution outlets.
In order to acquire strain profile along the bonded GFRP, three/four strain gauges with 10 mm gauge length and 119.9 ± 0.1 Ohms resistance were glued to the GFRP surface.
In addition, 2 strain gauges of 6 mm gauge length were mounted on the mid-height of the column longitudinal bars in order to measure the developed normal strain at the mid-height section.
About 60percentt of the world's railroad mileage has been built to standard gauge, 1,435 mm (4 feet 8.5 inches).
However, such alloy modification has proven to be economically unviable for thick gauge (>10 mm) plate products and therefore unstabilised 12%Cr (3CR12) material is still currently being used for heavy gauge structural applications in many parts of the world.
For example, in Europe, except track gauge (1,435 mm), all other parameters are dependent on the maximum design speed.
