The large strains to failure result primarily from a high degree of damage, not from a microstructure that remains self-similar throughout deformation (as in superplasticity).
Compared with mechanical polishing, surface grinding of 304L has been found to induce a higher degree of damage leading to an obvious fatigue life reduction (Poulain et al. 2013); they stated that the surface finish should be taken into account when designing components against fatigue.
Other studies report much the same thing, with only moderate levels of soreness associated with a high degree of damage.
Interestingly, we see clearly in M. tardigradum that the protection is not perfect but rather a high degree of damage is tolerated (eg, DNA lesions and oxidation).
The plausible attack scenario is the one that exhibits the highest degree of system damage.
The patient with the highest degree of pretreatment damage was patient 16, who was a known cigarette smoker.
Only microthrombosis showed marked differences among the groups, appearing significantly more frequent in groups 3 and 4. Interestingly, the highest degree of endothelial damage was observed in the animals of subgroup 4.
The results showed that CQD is an accurate method and is sensitive enough to very low and very high degrees of damage.
At last the obtained results show that the considered TP-based laminates are characterized by a very good impact behavior and a high-degree of damage tolerance.
Plantations established on good site quality have higher degrees of damage than those on poor site quality (Choldumrongkul, 1989).
The underlying assumption is that for a given PGA, material with higher degrees of damages would result in higher degrees of nonlinear response and larger reductions in resonance frequency (Vidale and Li, 2003; Rubinstein and Beroza, 2004b).
