The simulation results showed significant scatter (coefficient of variation up to 132%) for both flexural and punching cases.
The lateral (y-axis) produced the greatest amount of variability between work cycles (coefficient of variation up to 20%).
Self-biasing tests have been performed by applying an equivalent Vrms on the RF central conductor, showing an insignificant capacitance ratio variation up to 13.5 Vrms.
The robustness of the proposed shaper is explored from the standpoint of uncertainties from system parameters such as modal damping, modal stiffness, and air gaps, showing that the proposed shaper can handle the parameter variation up to a certain extent.
A high index variation (up to 0.21), and fast diffusion (up to diffusion depth of 140 μm after 30-min processing at 400 °C) had been found to make these glasses attractive from the viewpoint of their application to the formation of GRIN structures.
The test results indicated a stable yet negative effect of carbon nanotube paste on the mortar compression strength; while a widely scattered (coefficient of variation up to 23.6%) positive effect on the interfacial tensile strength (maximum 8.4% increase at 0.2 wt% carbon nanotube) was observed.
