Also, the effects of temperature during wetting drying cycles led to an increase in the ultimate strength but a slight decrease in the tensile strain capacity of rehealed pre-damaged specimens.
Severe cracking tendency of high aspect ratio primary (Mn, Fe 5Si3 particles containing large-sized hollows leads to slight increment in ultimate tensile strength and great ductility decrease at high (Mn, Fe 5Si3 content.
It was found that maximum tensile load and ultimate tensile stress show only slight influence from gas channel design and part thickness except Nylon parts which exhibit significant dependence on part thickness due to degree of crystallinity.
For the prestressed TRC specimens, evident increases in first-crack stress are observed with increasing prestress levels, whereas only a slight influence on ultimate tensile strength can be achieved.
Both of the tests M2 and M3 ended up with the breakage of the I-section under the tensile ultimate load together with a slight moment.
The slight decrease in ultimate tensile strength in the entire composite may be due to increase in interfacial area as a result of addition of hydrophilic filler to hydrophobic matrix which worsened the interfacial bonding between them thereby decreasing the tensile strength.
Additionally, it was observed that a slight increase on the ultimate load can be obtained by diminishing the patch thickness.
Heat treated specimens showed a slight improvement in both ultimate strength and ductility compared to the as-deposited condition.
A slight decrease in the ultimate load of the specimens was observed when a 30° brace angle was used instead of a 45° one.
The ornate jars that shield the delicate floral skin sculptures act only as slight deterrents against the ultimate effects of time.
