In particular, annealing the specimens at 85 °C for 2 h helped to improve the rate of shape recovery and the consistency of mechanical test results.
Extensive analysis proves the consistency of mechanical and electrical measurements of the dynamically loaded piezoelectric transducer compared with the AEC model.
Moreover, velocity and density logs of shales were visually examined for consistency of mechanical compaction behaviour (i.e. a general trend of similar density and velocity behaviours with depth).
All laser generated depositions, be it coating or complete parts, demand thorough mechanical characterization to ensure the absence of microporosity, homogeneity of microstructure, mechanical strength under applied loads and consistency of performance under wear.
Finite element thermo-mechanical analysis (FEA) confirmed the consistency of this solution under the steady-state plasma condition in the worst case (highest thermal load).
The good consistency of the obtained mechanical responses indicates the potential of using reconstruction models to predict the influences of porous structure on the mechanical properties of low-permeability sandstone.
While we achieved the highest possible consistency of protocol in the mechanical testing, there were technical challenges in measuring nucleus pulposus tissues due to the extremely low stiffness and lack of geometric stability, particularly for the enzymatically treated samples.
A model is presented that uses the principles of irreversible thermodynamics to predict the reduction in consistency of a lubricating grease undergoing mechanical shearing action.
We analyzed the surgical outcomes of 12 PAO patients using mechanical, radiological, and functional analysis to show the consistency of the 3D analysis with radiological angles, and to follow-up these cases clinically.
However, consistency of thresholds throughout the experiment in the saline treatment suggests that the mechanical thresholds were not affected by changes in the ambient temperature within this range.
