Excerpts

When the concentration of the AgNW solution was 1 mg/mL, the haze value presented an increasing trend with the increase in spin speed, which might be related to the uniformity of the distribution of AgNWs on the substrate.

When the concentrations of the AgNW solution were 2 and 3 mg/mL, the haze value presented a decreasing trend with the increase in spin speed, which might be related to the density of AgNWs on the substrate.

As can be seen in Figure 3 and Table 3 , there is a clear trend in martensitic transformation temperatures when going from A1 to A4.

At a slightly larger temperature (20 °C), the MFISs of A1, A2, and A4 show just a slightly increasing trend.

Hence, the resistance of the MFISs also shows a decreasing trend for the alloy samples in the present study.

Moreover, the magnetic field-induced strain shows an increasing trend, which is caused by the driving force of the twin martensite re-arrangement strengthening.

The size distribution graphs showed a decreasing trend in the mean diameter of composite nanofibers with the increase in GO-COOH content, from 141.40 nm for CS/PG 0.1% to 119.88 nm for CS/PG 0.5%.

Then, keeping the continued incorporation of Gr would not be quite significant to the TS reduction and high-temperature properties improvement of asphalt binders.

For the interleaved laminates, both of the G IC and G IR values exhibit an increasing trend followed by decreasing with the rising of areal densities of TPPI veils.

For frequencies in the range from 0.1 kHz to 10 kHz, an increase in the plastic deformation degree was accompanied by a rise in the value of ωL/ωL 0 , while for the frequency of 100 kHz, ωL/ωL 0 first increased until the plastic deformation degree reached the level of about 15% to show a decreasing trend later on.

Akin to POI1, the remelting peaks within POI2 follow a decreasing trend with time, their values being well above the liquidus.

As a result, an increasing trend up to 410 HV for the hardness was found with increasing annealing temperatures, thus suggesting a possible α-case [ 70 ].

The variance in the HEA coating thicknesses was quite significant and exceeded the erosion effect observed for all the samples.

Such a decreasing trend of the strength with the slenderness is due to the effect of an increase in the shear length, H eff (see Figure 2 ).

For the immersed HDMC, with the increase of W/B ratio from 0.14 to 0.20 the first-crack strength and ultimate flexural strength show a decreasing trend; however, the ductility index and toughness index show an upward trend on the whole except when the W/B ratio is 0.18.

However, its contribution in some cases may be significant [ 60 ]. 4.4.

A significant variation of mechanical properties inherent in such steels, even for the initial state of the metal, was taken into account, so the operational change in certain properties could be stated only by identifying a clear trend.

An overall trend of retained β-fiber components in the final sheets was observed with the different secondary phase volume fractions of the alloys.

In the matter of the difference between the growth rate at the two crack ends, it increases (i.e., the crack tip growth rates ratio (d a /d N ) 2 /(d a /d N ) 1 decreases) with the drop in the initial projected short-branch length and in the initial branch angle, not observing a clear trend with the intensity of fatigue (SIF range).

According to this figure, the stiffness curves obtained with the standard fatigue simulation show a decreasing trend due to the gradual degradation of the mechanical material properties as the number of cycles increases before a consistent decrease of stiffness due to the sudden degradation.

On the contrary, for the frozen state the values of both the properties show an increasing trend as the temperature decreases.

Obviously, under the circular economy principle, focusing on waste recycling, the amounts of reused industrial waste indicated an increasing trend over the past decade, reaching an industrial waste reuse and recycling rate of over 80%.

Thereafter, the reported amounts showed a decreasing trend from 2019.

The third step represents the equilibrium stage in which the removal of the adsorbate becomes almost insignificant, due to the exhaustion of adsorption active sites.

However, the CTOD-R curves show a decreasing trend in fracture toughness with the increase in the hydrogen charging time.
