However, a non-smooth slip distribution can be easily seen from the specimens with shorter bond lengths, i.e. with a bonded length shorter than the effective bond length, which induces a relevant noisy signal in determining the strains in the stainless steel.
The crack initiation site was found near the specimen surface in each fracture surface, but some defects such as inclusions and voids were found at the crack initiation site for the specimens with shorter life, whereas no defect was found at the crack initiation origin for the ones with longer life.
Positive scores indicate specimens with shorter heads, more anterior placed dorsal and pelvic fins in relation to the posterior end of the body, slimmer body depths at the midsection, and longer caudal peduncles; negative scores indicate the opposite form (Figure 3).
A blowzy specimen with short stubby legs, its disproportionate supply of white meat has come at the expense of taste and texture.
Improvements of varying degrees in the interfacial toughness were observed for all specimens toughened with short aramid fibers of different lengths.
This is mainly due to the fact that most of the experimental research has been conducted on specimens with very short embedded length.
Specimens with existing short fatigue cracks together with some specimens with no cracks were then shot peened using two different groups of parameters.
For lap shear fatigue tests, specimens failed in the bottom sheet at low load amplitudes and in the top sheet at high load amplitudes except for specimens with very short edge distance of 5 and 6 mm; whereas, for coach-peel fatigue tests, all specimens failed in the top sheet.
Micro-CT results point out that specimens with a short PMI reveal a higher value of bone density than specimens with a long PMI.
The results showed that drying of unrestrained specimens develop few and randomly distributed cracks, neither connected to each other nor to the specimen surface, with short extensions into the slab depth.
