At that time, the dinosaurs were just starting to diversify and the Welsh specimen is almost certainly the earliest Jurassic dinosaur in the world.
Failure of the specimen was almost symmetrical until fractures occurred in the beam bottom bars.
Accordingly, the area of FRP in a specimen is almost similar to each other in all the specimens.
Raman spectra also confirmed that the in situ annealed specimen was almost defect-free.
Discovered in the Lufeng Basin of China in 1985, the specimen was almost entirely encased in rock and was tentatively identified as a lizard-relative.
The results showed that the lifetime of the CP specimen was almost 25 times larger than that of the as-machined one.
Moreover, the nominal flexural strength of one BFRP-RC specimen was almost two times that of its steel-reinforced counterpart with the same reinforcement ratio.
The B-1-HA specimen was almost the same as the B-1-H specimen, but its reinforcement for the lateral confinement of the beam was cut off at the beam-wall interface, without being affixed to the walls.
The wear rate of the surface alloyed specimen was almost half of the wear rate of the untreated base material due to the presence of the aforementioned hard intermetallic compounds in the alloyed layer.
On the other hand, in 3% NaCl solution, the fatigue strength of the untreated specimen was almost similar to the result in laboratory air, while the fatigue strengths of the nitrided and the STAN specimens decreased significantly compared to those in laboratory air.
