background: there have been numerous researches on elastomeric ligatures, but clinical conditions in different stages of treatment are not exactly similar to laboratory conditions. the aim of this in vitro study was to simulate clinical conditions and evaluate the effect of three stretching patterns on the amount of force, tensile strength (ts) and extension to ts of the elastomers during 8 wee...

Thin films of were prepared by casting and its tensile properties like tensile strength (TS) and elongation at break (Eb%) were studied. The gelatin films were procured with two types of monomers such as 5% ethylene glycol (EG) and 5% ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) to increase the tensile properties. Five percent of monomer solutions were prepared in MeOH along with 2% photoinitiator; I...

The tensile strength (TS) of rocks is an important parameter in the design of a variety of engineering structures such as the surface and underground mines, dam foundations, types of tunnels and excavations, and oil wells. In addition, the physical properties of a rock are intrinsic characteristics, which influence its mechanical behavior at a fundamental level. In this paper, a new approach co...

In this investigation, the effect of friction stir processing (FSP) parameters such as rotational speed, traverse speed and plunge depth on the tensile strength of AA6063 aluminum alloy was studied. The experiments were carried out as per response surface methodology parametric design concepts to study the influence of various combinations of process parameters. Statistical optimization techniq...

Vacuum and temperature effects on moisture content, water vapor permeability (WVP), color (L, a, b, and DE), tensile strength (TS), elongation (E), and total soluble matter (TSM) of soy protein isolate (SPI) films were examined. SPI films were cured at 60, 72.5, or 85 °C and at 101.3, 81.32, or 61.32 kPa for 24 h. As a result of heat-curing moisture content, WVP, E, and TSM decreased, and total...

the effect of oleic and stearic acids on the water vapor permeability (wvp) and mechanical properties of sodium caseinate films was investigated. emulsifiers (span 80 and 85) were employed to produce the base mixture of film. tensile strength (ts), elongation (e) and young's modulus (ym) were obtained for both standard (without lipids) and hydrophobic films. results showed that the additio...

since bone marrow has been shown to contain osteoprogenitor cells, an experiment was devised to test its effects when injected percutaneously into osteotomies sites in rabbit radii. in this experimental study, the osteogenicity and its effect on early bone repair of bone marrow grafts were investigated. the purpose of this study was to determine whether bone marrow grafted percutaneously led to...

This paper presents the outcomes from an extensive investigation on the structure and geometry of single hemp fibres, as well as configurations and related tensile strength (TS) of hemp fibres, with the aid of field emission scanning and optical microscopy. The results showed that 1) the TS increased with the decrease of the diameter of individual test pieces, due possibly to the stacks of mult...

Understanding the effect on the materials mechanical properties from the perspective of interfacial interaction between the filler and the polymer matrix has become an important criterion in polymer nanocomposites field. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are renewable materials that can be extracted from natural sources, such as wood, cotton, and tunicates. In addition, CNCs have the characteristic...
