Excerpts

While there is almost no activation at the lower temperatures (−30 °C and 0 °C), the energy absorption of the lateral honeycombs at the higher temperature levels, especially at +30 °C and +60 °C, is quite significant.

As expected, and described above, there is a clear trend for an increased recalescence when chunky graphite becomes more and more prevalent.

For this group of the samples there is an obvious trend in the d c behavior: the d c gradually increases as U H and then U L decreases ( Figure 6 e).

The amount of sizing on the fibre surface correlated with the composite tensile properties in the case of PP showing initially an increasing trend in strength and modulus with increasing amount of sizing but at higher concentrations again a drop in the performance.

The deformation required for adequate bonding was slightly significant, but it can be reduced by increasing the temperature during the rolling process.

It can become somewhat significant when the change of strain, shape, and damage are not subjected to control by the external or internal applied force on pipelines.

Therefore, in future studies, it is advisable to compare the destruction of larger-sized specimens to see if the size effect may be significant for this process.

An increase in the X-ray energy causes a decreasing trend in GSI values [ 15 , 16 ]; at the same time, considering Equation (10), when GSI values tend to decrease, the mass attenuation coefficient should decrease in a proportional way.

The Gd 5 Ge 2 Si 2 alloy and pure Gd showed a trend of development of MCMs.

Lower PEO concentrations resulted in lower densities of fibres, and there was a clear trend showing an increase in fibres density in samples prepared with 2, 3, and 4 wt%, with the latter producing the maximum densities observed.

The adhesion of the coatings ( Table 2 ) shows an increasing trend from about 88 N (Ic = 50 A) to about 97 N (Ic = 100 A).

Both tests showed a trend that G max decreases slightly with d 50 , particularly for glass beads at a loose state.

Replicates of these samples were not tested in this study so the results are not definitive, but an apparent trend of actually reducing nitrogen concentration can be noted and warrant additional investigation as it follows documented behavior of nitrogen desorption of high-nitrogen steels in a pure argon environment during laser welding [ 35 ]. 3.2.

The common parameters, such as the surface roughness, surface coverage ratio, and WCA variations were highly significant within 0 to 300 s.

The autogenous shrinkage of all of the AAS mortars was almost significantly attenuated by adding internal curing agents to the AAS mortars.

(b) The total thickness of interfacial IMC (both Cu 6 Sn 5 and Cu 3 Sn) layer showed an increasing trend for non-reinforced SAC305 and SAC305-KGC composite solder joints which was about ~6–17 μm.

Production of synthetic graphite is mainly concentrated in the US, the EU, and Japan, and an increasing trend is forecasted for the synthetic graphite market owing to an increase in demand from the steel and electric battery industries.

Moreover, the amount of mass loss at approximately 250~300 °C showed a slightly increasing trend with each curing time.

All mechanical property parameters presented a statistical difference ( p < 0.05) among the starch films, despite the quite significant error for the Young’s modulus of maize and potato films. 3.3.

From ZBV1 to ZBV4, EBF and EABF values showed an increasing trend.

However, at 180 d, the FS of each test group showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing.

To clearly demonstrate the degree of CS weakening, Figure 6 shows that with the increase in graded ARGF admixture, the concrete CS increment ratio fluctuates, but generally, it presents a decreasing trend.

It can be seen from Figure 10 that under different temperature rising rates, the maximum pyrolysis rate in the DTG curve shows an increasing trend corresponding to the temperature, and the main reaction interval also increases slightly.

An interesting trend is seen, where generally: (a) density increases in time, even when fresh and hardened state are compared [ 83 ], and (b) density increases in ssd as well as in oven-dried state.

Considering relation f c -180-ssd:f c -28-ssd, there is an obvious trend, since compressive strength increases with time, complying with theory.
