A design method, based on a stress approach and including stability checks, is discussed according to latest version of European seismic code and translated into comprehensive design charts for a given set of isolator mechanical properties and hazard levels.
Stress-strain experiments performed on the reconstituted blends showed that the mechanical properties and toughness levels of the reconstituted HIPS were nearly identical to the properties of the original HIPS.
Alloying zinc with magnesium and other trace elements, such as manganese, strontium, etc., improved the mechanical properties to those levels of some magnesium alloys (Gong et al. 2015; Mostaed et al. 2016; Liu et al. 2016a, b) (Table 1).
Although injected tendons in this study demonstrated visual disruption of normal morphology and immediately altered mechanical properties at higher levels of strain, it is not known what effect these alterations have on long-term function, morphology, and overall health of tendons in vivo.
Over the last decade significant research has been carried out into the production of edible films with good barrier and mechanical properties and high levels of biodegradability.
Hydrogel also exhibited good mechanical properties with high level of elongation.
To evaluate their effective mechanical properties a two-level homogenization scheme has been adopted.
On the one hand, in order to normalise the effects of fibre fraction, porosity fraction and architectural parameters, a model was developped to analyse the mechanical properties at the level of the yarn.
In hypo-eutectic Fe – TiB2 based steels, mechanical properties on the level of high strength dual phase steels could be achieved (~ 900 MPa UTS and 20% tensile elongation) but with an enhanced Young's modulus of 217 GPa and reduced density of 7460 kg m− 3.
Bone biomechanical testing is not only focused on the mechanical behaviour of the whole bone but also the mechanical properties at tissue level or intrinsic properties.
