Study of ternary complexes of cucurbit[8]uril and their applications in self diagnostic composites by Das, Anjali Devi

“…In addition to uniaxial compressive and tensile testing, the specimens were subjected to fatigue to assess the performance of the material under similar conditions during actual use. …”

The effect of laser shock peening and shot peening on the fatigue performance of aluminium alloy 7075 by Becker, Alexander

“…Furthermore, the increase in the average fatigue life of the polished test specimens shows that the depth of the residual compressive stresses induced by the peening processes were deep enough to allow for surfaces layers to be removed from the test specimens without any detrimental effect to the overall average fatigue life of the components. …”

Mesh adaptation through r-refinement using a truss network analogy by Jones, Bevan W S

“…This is achieved via feature identification followed by the construction of 3rd order bezier surface patches over boundary faces. To investigate the ability of the scheme, three numerical test cases were investigated. …”

Manufacturing bio-bricks using microbial induced calcium carbonate precipitation and human urine by Lambert, Suzanne

“…Another experiment was set up to investigate the relationship between the number of treatments and the resultant compressive strength. The findings from the above-mentioned experiments further guided subsequent experiments which singled out and tested certain factors thought to be affecting the bio-brick system. …”

The effectiveness of a percussion drill method for making concrete cube samples to assess the characteristics of precast zero-slump concrete by Du Plessis, Pieter

“…Precast finished products are load tested to confirm compliance, but the zero-slump concrete is often not tested by cube or cylinder samples, as is the case with ready-mix concrete. …”

Powder packing optimisation for clinker reduction in concrete by Holmes, Matthew

“…Compressive strength was tested for a binary (cement/limestone) and ternary (cement /limestone/fly ash (FA)) binder blend for Phase 2 in conjunction with a substantially reduced water content. …”
