Sentence examples for mechanical properties whilst from inspiring English sources

This paper considers the development of autonomic self-healing within a carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP), and demonstrates the significant strength recovery (>90%) possible when a resin filled hollow glass fibre system is distributed at specific interfaces within a laminate, minimising the reduction in mechanical properties whilst maximising the efficiency of the healing event.

Manipulation of the Quickstep cure cycle, while the resin is at low-viscosity, has significant effects on the mechanical properties of the product whilst simultaneously reducing the cure cycle time.

The ultrathin CPHFs display desirable mechanical, optical and degradation properties whilst allowing attachment and proliferation of ovine CECs, and as such are attractive candidates for the regeneration and transplantation of CECs, as well as other corneal tissue engineering applications.

Mechanical tests demonstrated significant enhancements in stiffness, strength and toughness by the incorporation of wrapped nanofillers, whilst the mechanical properties of non-compatibilized composites only improved marginally.

Stainless steel is gaining widespread use in construction due to its obvious special characteristics – attractive appearance, corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance, whilst beneficial mechanical properties such as high ductility, better fire resistance than carbon steel and high strength demonstrated by the duplex grades add value to its aesthetics.

The optical properties were controlled by the number of FTCs as well as additives, whilst the mechanical properties were controlled by the number of FTCs only.

Indeed, tissue hydration has been shown to influence the mechanical properties of tendon fascicles [11], whilst tendons lose water when loaded under tension [12].

The net effect of clustering fibres is to enhance processability whilst reducing the mechanical properties.

Results showed that heat treatment does not affect oxidation resistance, whilst it significantly improves mechanical properties.

The mechanical properties were assessed from the compressive strength, whilst the durability characteristics were investigated in terms of chloride diffusion, electrical resistivity, air permeability and water absorption.

Whilst renowned for exceptional mechanical properties,[ 1] little is known about the sonic properties of silk.
