Elevated temperature mechanical properties and corrosion characteristics evaluation of alloy Ht-9
… secondary cracks were observed along the gage length of the SCC test specimens, evaluated by optical microscopy.

High-finesse/small gap extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer and applications
… output pattern, due to minute changes in cavity length of a small-gap/high-finesse cavity. The direction and magnitude of the shift of a high-finesse peak is directly proportional to that of the applied perturbation. The basic features and principle of operation are studied in detail, and …

Scale effects in buckling, postbuckling and crippling of graphite-epoxy Z-section stiffeners
… axial stiffnesses than predicted based on the gage length properties alone. This phenomenon required a post-test adjustment to the data in order to permit comparisons of the experimental and finite element predictions of the response of the gage length on an equivalent basis. Once corrected, …

High-Strain Rate Tensile Characterization Of Graphite Platelet Reinforced Vinyl Ester Based Nanocomposites Using Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar
… Uniform stress distribution within the specimen gage length has been verified using high-speed digital photography. The on-specimen strain gage installation is substituted by a non-contact Laser Occlusion Expansion Gage (LOEG) technique for infinitesimal dynamic tensile strain measurements. Due …

Experimental Studies of Reinforcing Steel and Shape Memory Alloys in Mechanically Spliced Connections for Seismic Application
… CAM bars can be only manufactured in limited lengths, making it necessary to splice several bars in series in order to reinforce the entire column plastic hinge.This study focused on experimental studies of the performance of large diameter CAM bars in a multi-splice connection, evaluating …

Tensile Material Properties of Human Costal Cartilage Perichondrium
… samples and ~1 mm for one-layered samples. The gage length of the completed coupons was marked with a black ink dot pattern to facilitate strain calculations via video tracking. The coupons were loaded axially in tension to failure at either a slow (0.005 s⁻¹) or fast (0.5 s⁻¹) target loading …

Material Properties of the Grade 300 and Grade 270 Prestressing Strands and their Impact on the Design of Bridges
… to be done to include stress-corrosion, transfer length, development length, and flexural strength, the completed testing indicates that less strand will be required using Grade 300 strand versus Grade 270 strand to achieve a set span length and transverse girder spacing. In addition, with the …

Effects of Sex, Strain Rate, and Age on the Tensile and Compressive Material Properties of Human Rib Cortical Bone
… was used to measure displacement within the gage length of the tension coupons and a deflectometer was used to measure displacement of the compression samples. Tension data were obtained from fifty-eight (n = 58) coupons at 0.005 strain/s and fifty-eight (n = 58) coupons at 0.5 strain/s, with …

Complete stress-strain characteristics of high performance concrete
High performance concrete (HPQ has recently become a widely used concrete construction material for modem buildings, bridges, and pavements, etc. To produce such a better quality of concrete, chemical and mineral admixtures such as fly ash, slag cement, and silica fume, ground granulated blast …
