A major issue in using nanomaterials in cementitious composites is the proper dispersion of these nanoparticles, which has a strong trend for agglomeration [ 24 , 25 ].

Regarding SP incorporation, it led to a slight trend of reduction in both yield stress (from 13.3 Pa for NT-NW_0.50% to 13.2 Pa for NT-NW_SP_0.50% and from 13.5 Pa for 500-NW_0.50% to 12.6 Pa for 500-NW_SP_0.50%) and plastic viscosity (from 0.31 Pa.s for NT-NW_0.50% to 0.30 Pa.s for NT-NW_SP_0.50% and from 0.34 Pa.s for 500-NW_0.50% to 0.31 Pa.s for 500-NW_SP_0.50%).

For such advanced simulations, the time frame is still quite significant; however, with the developed parallelized CA SRX model, the 3D computations can be realized within a range of minutes, while the 2D model can be executed within seconds, which provides a possibility even for an online process control. 6.

Thus, with the increasing hardness of the reinforced materials, the coefficient of friction demonstrates a decreasing trend with the same reason on weight loss and wear rate.

When increasing the applied load, the wear rate shows an increasing trend irrespective of the second parameter, which is depicted in Figure 10 a,e–g,l, due to the elevated contact between the pin and disk.

In terms of structural, both zones show quite significant differences from each other.

However, results do not provide a clear trend, and more tests with several pigment proportions will be conducted in the near future to clarify this issue.

This does not provide an evident trend, therefore a repetition of this test with several pigment proportions will be conducted in the near future to clarify this issue.

The percentage of R 2 was 96.08%, which reflects the highly significant effect of these factors on the compressive strength of B-FCB.

The D 10 , D 50 , and D 90 values for the individual genesis powders (i.e., G 1 , G 2 , G 3 ) show an increasing trend ( Figure 3 ).

According to these researchers, the addition of more than 15% lime shows a decreasing trend of workability, while in this study, the addition of a mere 5% of lime deteriorated the workability of the mortar.

The goodness factor of the porous media channel presented a decreasing trend, along with Re eq , due to the strong pressure-loss properties, while the plain channel’s goodness factor increased.

A positive effect of salts on Young’s modulus is still quite significant for admixture-free concrete.

Both the experimental and predicted forging force curves exhibited an increasing trend with increasing processing time.

In the same direction, in response to external influences, both the compressive strength and the compressional wave velocity of concrete have a decreasing trend after sulfate erosion.

Meanwhile, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes and Chloroflexi in four treatments showed a decreasing trend.

The evolution of depth of erosion over the complete period of acid exposure did not show a clear trend, suggesting that the process of erosion is more-or-less completed after seven days of exposure. 3.4.3.

However, with an increase in tempering temperature from 630 to 670 °C, the diffusion of carbon in martensite leads to the decrease in carbon content in martensite; as a result, the tensile strength and yield strength show a decreasing trend.

According to the calculations in Table 2 , the residual stresses in the nickel plating show an increasing trend as the texture coefficients of the crystal plane (111) increases.

The results of the preliminary research by the authors suggest that the thermal effect of this process on the material cut may be significant.

They distinctly identified the need to fabricate high-performance hybrid aluminium composites and reported that the mechanical properties particularly the tensile strength improves up to a certain extent, i.e., 3 to 5 wt.% of SiC; however, beyond this range, the tensile strength showed a decreasing trend.

Our study found no significant change but a slight trend of reduction on the hindfoot eversion and forefoot abduction.

Figure 12 shows that there is a steady interest in time with a positive trend revealed in traditional ceramics and a clear upward trend in ceramic composites, especially in the last decade, whereas it is clear that research concerning advanced ceramics has been almost abandoned.

The volumetric strain diagram for specimens S 6 to S 9 in Figure 7 b shows the fact that, by increasing the amount of rolling friction coefficient, the volumetric strain decreases and after reaching its maximum value, it goes through an increasing trend.

All compounds showed a trend towards aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ), where increasing the water content in the CH 3 CN/H 2 O system above 40% (in the case of 6 above 30%) caused a reduction in the emission intensity [ 26 , 27 , 28 ] (cf.
