Excerpts

The chip obtained for higher feed values is shorter than for lower feed values, where it appears longer and more flexible, with a clear trend to form chip nests.

In addition, it can be seen that the fracture of the normal specimen is significant compared to the UNSM-treated normal specimen, whereas the surface damage is considerably significant as well and the oxidation wear dominates.

There was an increasing trend in the mean grain size of the weld zone, as the welding energy increased.

Inspection of the normalized fluorescence signal after >400 s of loading time reveals a clear trend: In the case of distilled water (MilliQ), the fluorescence drops to ≈20% of the signal prior to NP addition.

By analyzing the data shown in Figure 7 b, a positive trend in water absorption can be expected in the pieces as the residue percentage increases.

With the increase of air velocity, flexural strength, tensile strength, and elasticity modulus of wood fiber/HDPE composites showed a trend of first increasing and then subsequent decreasing.

The XLPE_VE acetabular cups, under HDA waveforms, showed an increasing trend for mass loss: more than 3 times with respect to the other two configurations ( Table 2 ). μ-CT investigations showed that different wear and deformations can be achieved when different materials and/or different types of wear tests are considered, proving that a mere weight loss assessment is not sufficient for a complete understanding of components’ behavior.

The reduction in strength was highly significant for D1 specimen, with the decrease of 11% to 64%, than for D2 specimen with the decrease of 0% to 33%.

R b shows an increasing trend, which results from the formation of biofilm.

Secondly, for NC-C with two masses, complete combustion can be observed, and ash contents exhibit a decreasing trend with increasing radiant heat flux.

An expected trend is observed, in which κ p -values generally decrease with increasing N v , up to a value of ca. 10 23 m −3 , which corresponds to R o ≈ 5 nm.

From Figure 11 , it can be seen that with the addition of MWCNTs, the m value generally had an increasing trend, while S slowly decreased with the addition of 0 to 1.5% of MWCNTs.

When the temperature was higher than 50 °C, with the addition of MWCNTs, the phase angle had a decreasing trend in general which meant that the content of the viscous components decreased and the content of the elastic components increased.

For flat layers, the absorption of the CIGS shows a decreasing trend with increasing nanowire width.

Average corrosion rate of B10 copper sheet at different medium temperatures exhibited a decreasing trend over the corrosion time.

As seen in Figure 1 , the diffraction peaks (not shown here) were broadened as the ball milling (described below) increased, indicating a decreasing trend in crystallite (grain) sizes due to the internal stress [ 19 ].

Moreover, the life prediction error has shown an increasing trend along with the cumulative damage of CCF caused by HCF loads for the four materials.

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.
