In particular, substantial experimental work has been focused on Y-doped ZrO2 (YSZ), the O2 − ionic conductivity of which can be enhanced ~ 104 times under a 4% lattice strain.
Since these pioneering works, many other developments have taken place; in particular the experimental work of Kupfer et al. (1969), Palaniswamy and Shah (1974), and Kotsovos and Newman (1977), which revealed many aspects of the peculiar behavior of concrete such as exhibiting nonlinearity in both tension and compression, and its failure envelope depended on all the stress invariants.
You'd had the critical success and impact and to some extent the furore over Poison, and maybe some people might have had a tendency to see you as someone who did a particular, experimental kind of work.
In particular, an extensive experimental work was carried out to understand whether some streams could be diverted from the distillation column in order to recover solvents, suitable as secondary fuel.
It was attributed to the particular experimental design in this work that made the dimer/monomer droplet equilibrium in the critical microemulsion system no longer affect the reaction kinetics.
In particular, the aim of this experimental work was to delineate a methodology for quick and easy application on-the-field to provide information on the state of health of a RC structure subjected to a seismic event by investigating the columns in lower stories, which are generally more safely reachable for inspection.
Nevertheless, these results are potentially extremely important and should be taken seriously, in particular as motivation for further experimental work.
L.W. contributed to the experimental work, in particular the AVI isolations.
In the experimental work, T-section specimens with a particular lay-up and geometry were tested to failure in antisymmetric and symmetric loading rigs.
Both in chemical equilibrium modeling and experimental work it was shown that, in particular, mobilization of Cu, Zn, and Ni may compromise Fe mobilization by PS.
