Excerpts

Experimental results show that with increasing modified-graphite content, the tensile strength of the MG/PU films first increased and then decreased, and the elongation at break of the composite films showed a decreasing trend.

These studies clearly demonstrate the difficulty of identifying damage modes in composite materials, though there is a clear trend that shows an increase in both amplitude and frequency as the type of damage becomes more severe.

For CEM III grouts, the capacitance C 2 reached its first maximum at 50 days, and it fell from that age to 120 days, rising from then until 150 days approximately, when it showed a decreasing trend in general terms.

In the case of the AlO x gate dielectric, the capacitance value and the corresponding dielectric constant showed an increasing trend with the annealing temperature.

For the two cross directions, the friction coefficient in the stable stage shows a decreasing trend with the increasing crossing angles.

After this time, the mass of the membranes produced in glucose was almost constant, while that for sucrose maintained an increasing trend.

Moreover, it may also be worth mentioning here that the effect of the fineness of GS was almost insignificant, as compared to the efforts made to achieve the high fineness GS, though a small enhancement in compressive strength with increased fineness was observed at all ages regardless of the percentage replacement levels of GS.

It is noteworthy that at HER currents close to and beyond the diffusion limit of ≈3 mA/cm 2 (although determined for the HOR, this transport-related limit should be somewhat significant for HER as well [ 1 ]) evolved gaseous H 2 would shield parts of the electrode.

The creep rate in the hold segment is almost insignificant as expected for aluminum at room temperature and the data may not correspond to the steady state creep as discussed in the previous work of the authors [ 20 ]. 3.2.

Especially when the generator speed gradually decreases, the PP values also have a decreasing trend around 6000 h.

The proposed alarm trigger mechanism is composed of two criteria: (1) in a sliding time window, the number of indicator values above the adaptive threshold has exceeded a safety number; and (2) the indicator values in the sliding time-window present an increasing trend, which is evaluated by the Spearman coefficient.

The dielectric constant ( ε ) of the blends declined with the increasing frequency due to dielectric dispersion, and an increasing trend for ε was observed with both increasing PEG content and increasing temperature up to 80 °C.

As shown in Figure 6 a,b, the WCA shows a decreasing trend and the SA has an increasing trend.

With the increase of the abrasion cycles, the WCA decreases and the SA presents an increasing trend, resulting from the severe damage and wastage of the rough surface structure (as shown in Figure 5 e–h).

During the deformation of coating under the applied compressive strain, the corrosion rate showed a decreasing trend.

While contrarily under the applied tensile strain the corrosion rate showed an increasing trend.

According to Figure 1 b, the anisotropic strength ratio S A 1 decreases with the increasing confinement; however, the anisotropic strength difference S A 2 shows an increasing trend.

At the meantime, the parameters k 2 and f also present a decreasing trend like the parameter S A 1 , because they are all defined from the perspective of strength ratio.

Which shows a decreasing trend compared to the theoretical density of CrMnFeCoNi base.

This displacement data indicates a decreasing trend at frequency below 140 kHz and shows low intensity of S 0 -mode Lamb waves at low frequencies.

It is evident from Figure 13 and Figure 14 that a clear trend cannot be identified, which is contradiction with the simulation.

The stress-strain curves showed an increasing trend of slope with the increasing content of FR-DOMt, especially when the elongation was lower than 500% ( Figure 6 a).

For coating 5 and coating 6, their friction coefficient presents an increasing trend with sliding time and fluctuates greatly at the later period of sliding friction test.

The interaction of tool material and feed strategy shows that the generated force has a decreasing trend for HSS-Ti, HSS-Co, and HSS-Mo.

Grain growth is almost insignificant during this time, however, after 8 h a noticeable increase in grain width is measured.
