The model calculations are validated by comparing its sliding predictions in double lap adhesive joints to the sliding measurements performed in a previous paper.
From crack opening and sliding measurements across the shear crack, the dilatant behavior is identical in beams with and without steel fiber reinforcement.
(w) Width of the sliding measurement window.
All hospitals at all time points had the ability to offer four key diagnostic tests: malaria blood slide, haemoglobin measurement, blood glucose measurement and HIV testing (table 2).
Photomicrographs of the slides and measurements of the pyramidal cell layers were obtained using the Leica SCN400 slide scanner (SMM Instruments, South Africa).
The wetting behavior of the resulting wood was determined by static water contact angle and droplet sliding angle measurements.
The contact and sliding angle measurements from samples with a micro-network of nanopillars show good agreement with the proposed equations.
The silica coatings were characterized by surface roughness measurement, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, percentage of optical transmission, self-cleaning test and static contact angle and sliding angle measurements.
The molar ratio (M) of the MTMS/TEOS was varied from 0 to 7.84 and its influence on the hydrophobicity was studied by static contact angle and sliding angle measurements.
The microstructures of these two duplex surface engineered systems were characterised using XRD and SEM, while their hardness, adhesion, load bearing capacity and tribological properties were compared by micro-hardness tests, scratch adhesion tests and pin-on-disc sliding wear measurements.
