To characterize the assembled perfusion setup, the back pressure resulting from the reactor with the macroporous hydrogel was monitored at stepwise increasing flow rates.
Stepwise increasing strain test (SIST) was performed at a frequency of 1 Hz.
A stepwise increasing high-cycle fatigue load was subsequently used to propagate the crack to fracture.
Stepwise increasing of crude oil flowrate is used to determine "weak points" of the flowsheet and estimate maximum oil flowrate.
Based on these findings, it was determined that it is possible to use stepwise increasing load for analysis of the fatigue behavior of trabecular bone.
Acoustic detection of beginning fibre breakage correlates witHysteresisicant increase of loss work per cycle.
Organic and hydraulic shocks were performed during four days, by stepwise increasing the substrate concentration from 4000 to 20 000 mg COD/l or by reducing the hydraulic retention time from 16 to 3.2 h.
Serotonin was administered in stepwise increasing concentrations from 10−10 to 10−5 M. In preparations from normal pregnancies, serotonin 10−7 M, was administered before and 30 min after the start of a continuous CsA infusion (1.0 mg/l).
The stepwise graded layer concept solves the problem of high internal compressive stresses in diamond-like carbon (DLC) films by adjusting a graded constitution by stepwise increasing the ion energy, i.e., the bias voltage, during sputter deposition.
The study included the determination of ultimate in-plane tension, compression and shear properties as well as the characterization of the cyclic fatigue behavior under stepwise increasing and constant amplitude loading.
Subjects performed maximal effort single reps of knee extension and knee flexion exercises with stepwise increasing weights up to 1RM, and a set of 15 repetitions at the previously established weight at which maximal power was achieved.
