We investigate the fracture properties of organic-rich shale at the microscopic scale by coupling advanced imaging techniques, fracture mechanics and micro-scale mechanical testing methods.
Optical microscopy revealed that the stir zone consisted of micro-scale mechanical inter-locks.
To date, a number of micro-scale mechanical characterization tools have been developed, which provided a basis for combinatorial high-throughput mechanical characterization.
The structures and mechanical properties of the as-woven and soldered lattices were characterized by optical microscopy and micro-scale mechanical property experiments.
The development of micro-scale mechanical systems has been moving rapidly, allowing an opportunity to the semiconductor detectors to have ever more power located on the active region.
This study extended past micro-scale mechanical characterization of trussed cages to compare the effects of design on cage mechanical behavior at moderate (1000 N) and strenuous (2000 N) load levels.
In micro-forming, when the billet material size is decreased to micro-scale, the mechanical behaviors of material change and the so-called size effect occurs.
Mechanical interlock effect by micro scale pattern can be increased by nano scale surface morphology effect promoting additional adhesion strength at the interfaces.
Consider the new technologies that will operate on the micro scale, breaking the bonds of molecules through bio-mechanical means, which could be applied to recycling trash completely.
