Sentence examples for increased softening from inspiring English sources
Addition of RPPW reduced penetration, increased softening point and penetration index of both base asphalt and SBS modified asphalt.
The introduction of RBP resulted in reduced penetration, increased softening point, apparent activation energy, complex shear modulus in the low frequency area and high-temperature viscosity.
The results showed that incorporation of Sasobit/Deurex into AMB could effectively reduce the viscosity and exert a distinct modification on high temperature performance of asphalt binders in terms of reduced penetration, increased softening point and decreased ductility.
The result of decreased penetration, increased softening point, elastic recovery, viscosity and complex modulus indicates that WTR/APAO compound modification improves the high temperature performance and rutting resistance of asphalt binders.
After mixed with WTR and RPE, the asphalts show decreased penetration and phase angle, increased softening point, rotational viscosity and complex modulus, indicating that intermediate and high temperature rheological properties of the asphalts have been improved by the modification of WTR and RPE.
17 Consequently, cell wall degrades and the cells separate that contribute to increased softening.
Parametric studies have been conducted on the influence of inverse ductility and hardening/softening index on P–I diagrams and it was observed that the blast energy per unit of maximum displacement increases as inverse ductility increases or as hardening index increases (softening index decreases).
Tension tests have quantified the increasing and softening branches of the stress strain curve up to fracture.
Macroscopic response shows that the equivalent stress suddenly drops then increases, firstly softening and subsequently hardening degrees are related to the turning angle values.
Compression experiments have revealed the known three stages of the constitutive response, namely the initial increasing and softening branches at moderate strains, the plateau region at large strains and the hardening part at very large strains under compaction.
Also, Sasobit® modification significantly decreased the viscosity and increased the softening point compared to SBS modification.
