Under tension or tension/torsion combined loading, the formation and movement of macroscopic interfaces (domain fronts which separate the austenite and martensite regions) in the phase transition of a bulk fine-grained polycrystalline NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) bar or tube specimen are well-observed phenomena.
The researchers, reporting in Nature, found that the body size of the specimen was well below the mean for the species, indicating that the same factors thought to have killed off the animal during the ice age -- notably a lack of food -- probably contributed to decreasing body size.
The specimen was well excised, the surgical bed irrigated with warm saline and bleeding control under both robot view and direct vision was performed (Fig. 4 right).
Different fracture patterns including crack initiation in the SiN layer and interface debonding at the SiN/Cu interface are investigated systematically, and the fracture pattern in a nano-multilayered specimen is well predicted.
The limitation of routine histopathologic examination of the tumor margins and the dissected lymph node specimen is well known [ 4].
Our results confirm that cytological specimens are well suited to HER2 FISH analysis [ 22, 39, 40].
Pre-analytic variables in the fixation and processing of breast specimens are well described to undermine HER-2 results.
The specimen is well-suited for investigating the fracture toughness of orthotropic materials over the complete range of mode mixtures, 0 90°.
Although whether the specimen is well-struck or not rarely affects value, clearly struck specimens will show the engraving line separating Lafayette's boot from the rest of his uniform, and details of the lower part of his clothing will also be distinct.
While there have been reports of early loosening of Precoat designs (Dowd et al. M1998), this particular specimen was well-fixed.
This work shows that simple short-beam shear (SBS) specimens are well-suited for measurement of multiple constitutive properties for composite materials and that can enable a major shift toward accurate material characterization.
