Not uncommonly, as in this instance, grips used to clamp specimens introduce an impedance mismatch with the input/output bars, and the design of the clamps may not be amenable to modification to yield an impedance match.
The ANSYS 10.0 Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software package is used to analyze the direct tension specimens and introduces a good concrete model for Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) as well as plain concrete made of brick and stone aggregate.
A novel test specimen that introduces a uniform strain gradient is developed, and diffusion test data for an epoxy-based primer/adhesive are presented and employed for complete characterization of material constants used in the model.
Among them: "The Houseguest," in which an uninvited specimen introduces chaos into a wealthy household; and "The Feud," where a small-town matchstick of a quarrel flares into firebombing.
In order to develop a comprehensive understanding of the effect of large deformation of bulk specimens, introduced in the austenite recrystallized, nonrecrystallized and intercritical temperature regions, on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties, the C Si Mn transformation induced plasticity (TRIP -aided sTRIP -aideded for experimental.
A mix of unfixed and ethanol-preserved specimens may introduce a bias in comparing relative eye size because of differential weight loss depending on preservation of specimens [ 12].
Analysis of the association between Ct values and severity was restricted to nasopharyngeal specimens because Ct values from lower respiratory tract specimens (e.g., sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage) can be lower (i.e., higher virus load) than upper respiratory tract specimens, thereby introducing a possible bias when evaluating severity (20 ).
This paper introduces a kind of specimen which is used for a novel experimental set-up to characterise sheet metals also at elevated temperatures as it is needed for magnesium sheets.
Removing the applied tension after curing the film specimen introduced the residual tensile stress into the fibre.
At the age of 28 days, specimens were pre-cracked to introduce a surface crack width of between 100 and 400 μm.
