A state-operated laboratory in Texas also concluded that the specimens tested positive for Ebola.
SEM observation showed the specimens tested in both environments exhibited ductility fracture with dimpled behavior.
In particular, the specimens tested in bathing solutions causing less swelling had significantly stiffer tensile properties.
Classical injury patterns were observed in all of the specimens tested.
The specimens tested are welded aluminium rectangular hollow section T-joints.
The specimens tested were doubly tapered cylinders or right circular cylinders.
The numerical study included the development of finite element models of the specimens tested.
At this time in 1999, there was a high level of influenza activity, with 19 states reporting widespread or regional activity, and the influenza virus being detected in 24percentt of the specimens tested.
The specimens tested are layered glass/epoxy and graphite/epoxy cross-ply composites, manufactured with an initial interlayer crack.
This resulted in collapse of the trabecular network under compression loading for two of the specimens tested.
Coating defects, often present on the specimens tested, appeared to play an important role in the erosion mechanism.
