Stable and full hysteretic behavior was developed by the shear wall specimens, indicating a capability for stable energy dissipation.
The experimental results of refurbished specimens indicated a significant amount of fatigue life after refurbishing for both grinding depths.
The similar genetic makeup of the fungal specimens indicated a single source of infection, Fisher and his colleagues report today in Current Biology.
The fractured surfaces of the specimens indicate a different failure mechanism for galvanized and uncoated high-strength steel.
In contrast, the damping factor comparison for these specimens indicated a reduction by an average of 12% signifying that presence of MWCNTs in PU composites reduces the dissipation capacity of the composite material.
Optical and scanning electron microscopy of selected specimens indicated a range of changes due to deep cryogenic treatment including graphite flake degradation and pearlite refinement in cast iron and low carbon steel that was previously unreported in the literature.
The experimental results for GFRP specimens indicate a low influence of ply number on FRP mechanical properties, and a minor reduction of axial tensile strength and strain with increasing the temperature.
Analysis of the fracture surfaces showed that a cleavage-type morphology was typical for the as-cast samples, while the occurrence of dimples and other evidence of plastic deformation were identified in the fracture surfaces of the forged specimens, indicating a more ductile response.
Regardless, these specimens indicate a giant varanid present in central Australia during the Pleistocene that resembles, at least in size, the taxon present on Timor during the middle Pleistocene.
