The moisture content in the concrete specimens was controlled by massing the specimens.
The propagation of air hydrostatic pressure in the specimens was controlled by making a small hole in the specific cell walls of the honeycomb structure.
Without butts the static strength for spanwise and chordwise specimens was controlled by the failure in the Glare layer whilst the fatigue failure was precipitated by failure in the aluminium sheet.
The ultimate strength for spanwise and chordwise specimens without butts was controlled by the failure in the Glare layer, however, for specimens with butts, the butts control the ultimate strength.
Dimensional changes of specimens occurring during sintering were controlled by dilatometry.
The specimen stage registration is fully controlled by dedicated software that allows the OM and SEM to share, recall, and observe exact locations of specific areas on the specimens.
The evaluated fracture toughness is greatly controlled by the chosen specimen orientation, leading to strong variations in the fracture toughness.
Brightness of the luminescence is apparently controlled by the texture of the rock specimen.
Applied lateral loading was controlled by varying the deformation at the mid-point of each specimen.
The applied lateral loading is controlled by varying the deformation of the mid-point of each specimen.
