In terms of specimen configuration, tests can be performed with cracked round bar and compact type specimens.
This article reviews the requirements in terms of specimen preparation, imaging, and image analysis for quantitative FSM (qFSM) experiments.
An experimental ASTM procedure is therefore first adapted to the studied material, in terms of specimen dimensions.
The definition of an effective experimental procedure for multiaxial fatigue testing is carefully discussed in terms of specimen geometry, specimen manufacturing and local stress state.
In this study, ETFE foils in terms of specimen number, material direction and thickness were investigated with dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) over a temperature range of -70-100 °C at frequencies of 0.1, 1, and 10 Hz.
The use of an amplification assay for the detection of CT and NG facilitated the study in terms of specimen collection and transport, but the laboratory sites faced problems with DNA contamination.
In terms of specimen recovery and analysis, we are only beginning to reconstruct the biotic history of this ancient landscape.
Specimens in PBS showed greater differences in terms of specimen core diameter and visual appearance of cross sections, as compared to H2O and serum solution, which had more similar appearances.
Although these datasets can be used to generate highly resolved digitized 3D models of invertebrates as well (see, for example, [ 47, 48]), these analyses are extremely demanding in terms of specimen preparation, slice alignment and 3D reconstruction.
Protocols for the HI assay may differ between laboratories in terms of specimen source and preparation (serum or plasma, erythrocyte adsorption), reagents (erythrocyte species, antigen preparation), procedure (incubation conditions), and controls.
