It is most likely that the impregnation and subsequent absorption of water into the wood matrix is influenced by a combination of macrostructural and microstructural features, which can vary between the individual wood samples.
Having found that bimodal microstructure evolution in the α-Mg matrix is influenced by the morphology of the LPSO phase in the as-cast state, the authors investigate the effect of secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) in the cast state on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of the extruded Mg Zn Y alloy.
The Taguchi experiment method was employed to investigate to what degree associated with the dispersion of nanoparticles in the matrix were influenced by the various processing parameters.
Thereby, the degree of graphitisation and the morphology of the formed carbon matrix are influenced by the decomposition products of the metal oxalates.
The accumulated plastic strain and the damage variable within the matrix are influenced by the GPL volume fraction which is also involved in the softening of the overall response when imperfection is considered at the interface.
In the case of particle reinforced metal matrix composites, the distribution of the reinforcement particles in the matrix alloy is influenced by several factors during casting.
Here we only want to highlight that, different from the energy distribution in the FD channel matrix which is influenced by the rescaling factor β and the phase-shift factor ϕ[c.f. ξl,F1 and ξl,F2in (16)], the energy distribution in the TD channel matrix is affected by the rescaling factor β and the time-shift factor σ[c.f. ξl,T1 and ξl,T2 in (39)].
The enamel matrix mineralization is influenced by globular proteins such as amelogenin and enamelin [ 19, 20] which constitute a small fraction of the final mineralized matrix.
The machinability of particulate metal matrix composites (PMMC) is influenced by the matrix mechanical properties as well as size, distribution and volume fracture of reinforcement particles.
The process of bone regeneration, which includes proliferation and differentiation of the osteoblasts, matrix formation and calcification, is influenced by a series of factors - biomechanical, biochemical, cellular, hormonal and pathological [ 1].
Additionally, work done in collagen hydrogels suggests that ECM protein secretion is higher when gels are 'mechanically-loaded,' suggesting that fibroblast activation is influenced by matrix resistance to fibroblast contractile forces.
