The technical requirements of IS-ARTS (mass, power and number of samples produced) depend strongly on the sample mechanical properties, sample processing rate, the sample size and number of samples to be produced.
The mechanical properties of samples were investigated using uniaxial compression test, and the results were compared with those of reference samples made without sodium silicate.
Mechanical properties of samples were evaluated with indirect tension, indirect tension strength and repeated creep tests.
These bimodal blends lead to significant enhancements in the mechanical properties of samples printed in the transverse orientation.
Physical and mechanical properties of samples were determined by DSC-TG thermal analysis, XRD, SEM and universal testing machine.
The mechanical properties of samples cured by the new process are compared with the autoclave cured ones.
Fibers have shown great effect not only on asphalt drain-down, but on mechanical properties of samples.
The effects of the tool dwell time (6, 12, 18 s) were investigated on the microstructure and mechanical properties of samples.
FT-IR, UV, Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis, Wide-angle X-ray diffractions, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis and mechanical properties of samples were recorded.
The direction of layer-to-layer interfaces was found to have a direct impact on mechanical properties and samples built horizontally had lower tensile strength than specimens built on edge or vertically, which had the highest tensile strengths.
To compare mechanical properties of samples, tests were performed in an INSTRON 3365 tensile test machine (Norwood, MA, USA) at a strain rate of 6 mm/min in accordance to ASTM 882 [73].
