To assess the applicability of the plates for continuous monitoring of specimen, we imaged Tg wt1b EGFP) embryos over a period of 29 hours.
A series of tests, including material test, long-term static strain monitoring of beam specimens and four-point bending test, were conducted.
This principle allows identifying the fracture initiation without visual monitoring of the specimen and to calibrate the geometry factor required to estimate the fracture toughness.
The procedure is based on applying a variable cyclic displacement during a Mixed Mode Bending (MMB) test together with a real time monitoring of the specimen's compliance.
This work introduces a procedure based on the real time monitoring of the specimen's compliance for the experimental characterization of the fatigue behaviour of interlaminar cracks in composites.
This work describes a variable cyclic displacement test procedure that, in combination with the real time monitoring of the specimen's compliance, allows the crack growth rate to be measured for the desired range of severities with a single specimen, thus avoiding any human intervention during the test.
JF conducted the field monitoring and necropsies of specimens and contributed tissue samples, and JIH, JF and PNT contributed funding towards the RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis and 454 sequencing.
The paper reports fatigue damage monitoring of 7075-T6 alloy specimens, where the experiments have been conducted under load-controlled constant amplitude sinusoidal loadings for low-cycle and high-cycle fatigue.
Finally, the results obtained from the FBG sensors were compared to theoretical strain deviations, as calculated using ANSYS, to confirm the feasibility and range of sensitivity of FBG sensors for damage monitoring of composite material specimens.
With continuous monitoring of each concrete specimen, corrosion depth, mass loss, and dynamic modulus elasticity loss were calculated.
