In brief, the natural history specimens generated by the Grinnell surveys are at the forefront of research into the ecological and evolutionary consequences of climate change.
For example, studies have shown that the air-filled vasculature in liver specimens generates significant contrast by creating air-tissue refractive index discontinuities [ 16].
The stress distribution over the specimen wall, which was generated in the course of one TGMF cycle, has been analysed by linear elastic Finite Element calculations.
The biaxial stress states were generated in tubular specimens using a specially designed loading apparatus that is capable of applying axial loads to specimens under internal pressure.
At 60% relative density all the specimen of sand silt mixtures except clean sand and 10% silt content showed contractive behavior, since positive excess pore pressure generated in those specimens.
The microstructure revealed ductility-dip cracking (DDC) generated in the specimens containing <3 wt% of delta-ferrite (δ-ferrite).
The resulting shear bands in the top-hat specimens are compared with those generated in metal cutting chips and studied in order to characterise the deformation occurring at a microstructural level.
Thus, as the displacement of the upper grips increases, a crack is generated in the specimen starting at the notch tip until achieving the complete rupture of the specimen.
A small quantity of "supposed secondary α′-martensite" was generated in a specimen suffering 40% engineering strain after being sensitized for a long time and water quenched.
In situ measurement of the heat generated in the test specimens during uniaxial tensile deformation using infra-red thermal imaging showed that the temperature of the dumbbell samples increased from room temperature (23 °C) to as high as 70 °C regardless of the strain rate used.
