Excerpts

Measured hardness values were in the range of 16.1–19.8 GPa and showed an increasing trend against the increasing Si/N ratio.

With the increase of nanoparticles, the specific heat in the liquid state shows an increasing trend at the first stage and then a decreasing tendency at the following stage.

Figure 11 b shows that the overall efficiency of a hybrid system presents an increasing trend as the thermoelectric element height increases.

Thus, from a macroscopic point of view, the flow stress of the composite still showed an increasing trend with increasing deformation.

The solubility of both drugs was determined as a function of temperature (293.15 to 313.15 K) and IL composition, following an increasing trend with the increase in both conditions.

However, the expansion ratio showed an increasing trend, with the increase in ram speed from 7 mm/s to 11 mm/s.

It is observed that CoF shows an increasing trend on increasing the load from 20N to 60N.

The wear rate of the developed composite materials exhibits a decreasing trend with the increase in weight % of Si 3 N 4 .

For the three samples, it can be seen that the isolation degree, turbidity, surface charge and stability of the CNCs suspension showed a trend as the HPH treatment increased.

However, the effect of cover rate on the near-surface hardness (50 μm beneath the surface) is almost insignificant, resulting in a hardness increase of less than %2 for both pressures ( Figure 2 ).

However, there was an increasing trend in the redness of the samples after 100 h.

From the comparison it was observed that the predicted flexural behavior of the TRM beam, using the strain compatibility and force equilibrium conditions, showed a trend similar to the experimental result, but it was not predicted conservatively. 4.3.

Furthermore, it is noted that the peak compressive strength of concrete shows a decreasing trend with the increase of freeze–thaw cycles at the same strain loading rate.

In the first 0–125 freeze–thaw cycles, it can be identified that in the damage accumulation stage, the weight of concrete specimens shows a slightly increasing trend or is basically unchanged.

The Fisher test value (F-value) for the model was found to be 133.13; this means that the model was highly significant, with a p -value less than 0.0001.

The diffraction peak intensity of the Q phase shows an increasing trend, as with the Mg level.

Therefore, the thickness of the concrete slab designed by the two fatigue models presents a decreasing trend with the increase in base layer thickness and subgrade strength.

It can be seen that the increase in CS from 2200 mm/min to 2800 mm/min results in a decreasing trend in kw , whereas the increase in AC up to a certain level results in an augmented kw and then decreases with an increase in AC.

In the studies described in [ 82 ], it was stated that in such situations, the variable power of the applied ultrasounds, the speed of their propagation in the medium (and therefore also the density of the medium) as well as their amplitude (frequency) may be significant.

The equivalent damping ratio and equivalent stiffness generally show a decreasing trend and energy consumption gradually decreases.

Similar to Figure 4 , it can be seen that there are a large number of nuclei in the early stage and the grain size also has a decreasing trend with the increase in Ar pressure.

However, DBMI/MPG/IL-APP showed a trend of first increase and then decrease.

Accordingly, the slump of the coral aggregate concrete shows subtle changes during modification, which, to be specific, shows an overall trend of rising.

This reduction was highly significant compared to that of the isotropic MRE sample, as shown in Figure 4 .

As can be seen from Figure 7 , with the increase in cement ratio, the splitting strength of the specimen showed an increasing trend.
