Sample dimensions were unaffected by annealing.
Table 1 Core sample dimensions and properties Core no.
Sample dimensions were 2.54 cm diameter and 5.715 cm length.
Conversely, strain hardening is suppressed when confining sample dimensions dominate plastic flow for D/Leff<1.5.
For real sample sizes, proper material characterization requires determining the effect of finite sample dimensions.
Changes in sample dimensions alone produced widely different values for compressive plasticity.
Influences of model parameters and sample dimensions on the predictions are also discussed.
The method is based on measurements of porosity, accurate measurements of the sample dimensions.
This edge effect becomes critical if the sample dimensions are comparable to the thickness of the sample window.
Direct tensile testing of ceramics was achieved by optimizing the sample dimensions and by identifying the proper gripping method.
The sample dimensions directly limit the length scales available for plasticity, but without significant external or kinematical constraint.
