Excerpts

With the increase of deformation temperature, the volume fraction of Copper texture shows a decreasing trend, which is 9.52% at 400 °C but 0.75% at 475 °C.

Moreover, the setting times of the concrete specimens using IHB and type III showed a decreasing trend at all curing-temperature conditions.

The main conclusions are as follows: With the increase in EP content, the permeability of SMPCs increased from 33.9 to 38.2, and then decreased to 36.7, which showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing.

%, the P cv showed a decreasing trend, whereas when the EP content further increased from 1 to 2 wt. %, P cv increased slightly.

This sensitization is dose-dependent, indicating an increasing trend with dose.

The flexural strength and retention of samples immersed in water environments at different temperatures showed a decreasing trend with time.

An interesting trend is observed for triazene based sensors fabricated at different laser fluences ( Figure 9 ).

The maximum power efficiency of the QD-EL device also showed a trend similar to EQE max , with values of 3.35, 3.38, 4.69, and 1.77 lm/W, respectively.

With the increase of the distance away from the fracture surface, the density and size of cracks and cavities in the specimen show a decreasing trend ( Figure 5 a).

For the surface of the NdFeB samples sawed by four groups of different feed speeds, the PV values are the smallest when v f = 1.8 m/s, and the PV values of each group universally show an increasing trend as the wire speed decreases.

During the friction process, the value of circularity of the transfer film ( Figure 11 f) gradually increased, indicating that the boundary profile of the transfer film approaches a circle more closely; however, the rectangularity of the transfer film ( Figure 11 g) did not exhibit a significant trend.

However, with the addition of GNSs, the tensile strength and elongation show a decreasing trend.

A notable trend emerged: a decrease in the w/b led to an increase in the percentage of harmless and less harmful pores while simultaneously decreasing the percentages of harmful and multi-harmful pores.

The observation of the crack localization effect in cracked beams—resulting from the nonlinear interaction of longitudinal vibration and ultrasound—is quite significant.

However, the hydrogen yield showed a decreasing trend over time, while methane gradually increased.

The most probable aperture and critical aperture of the pure paste show an increasing trend as the freeze–thaw cycles increase, as shown in Figure 13 a.

With an increasing number of freeze–thaw cycles, there is a decreasing trend in the relative dynamic elastic modulus of the HD–MPCC.

Moreover, upon examination of Figure 12 a,b and comparison of the peak impact load of SFRC beams, it was noted that the peak load exhibited an insignificant effect on the stiffness of SFRC beams as the steel fiber content increased during the impact test, while the peak deflection at mid-span showed a decreasing trend.

Furthermore, the density of the specimens exhibited a decreasing trend as the storage time increased, indicating an increase in porosity.

In the viscoelastic continuum damage (VECD) model, the cumulative damage was related to the modulus, while with the increase of asphaltene and resins, the fatigue life showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing.

A decreasing trend of both widths of built tracks and their depth of penetration was observed at low volume fractions of 5% and 10% and at high volume fractions of 25% and 30%.

As seen in Figure 10 a, it is evident that with the increase in vibration compaction passes, the TAV amplitude of the mortar shows a decreasing trend and finally tends to be stable.

Also, as the cross-link density of vulcanizates cured in the presence of TMTD and the CBS-TMTD combination showed a decreasing trend with an increasing ratio of EPDM up to the composition of S25–E75, the elongation at break increased in the same direction.

It is interesting that the cross-link density of the materials with CBS showed an increasing trend with an increasing ratio of EPDM in rubber combinations.

Subsequently, an increase in the amount of binder resulted in an increasing trend in electrical resistance values.
