TL;DR: Investigation of the relationship between the mechanical properties of trabecular bone in tension and compression found strength, ultimate strain and work to failure was significantly higher in tensile testing than in compressive testing.
TL;DR: In this paper, a brief review of both the destructive and non-destructive techniques used for detecting and characterizing defects and damage is presented, and the ability of each technique to identify the various fracture mechanisms involved in the failure of long fibre reinforced composites is discussed and their overall suitability for damage detection evaluated.
Abstract: In this paper the various failure modes which occur in long fibre composites are described and discussed. The significance of each of these fracture mechanisms, in terms of their energy-dissipating capacity as well as their effect on the residual load-bearing properties, is considered. A brief review of both the destructive and non-destructive techniques used for detecting and characterizing defects and damage is presented. The ability of each technique to identify the various fracture mechanisms involved in the failure of long fibre reinforced composites is discussed and their overall suitability for damage detection evaluated.
TL;DR: Evaluation of the relation of apparent density to Young's modulus and ultimate strength suggested that a power law regression model is preferable to a linear model, although linear model prediction of mechanical properties does not have significantly worse accuracy within the narrow density range investigated.
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of destructive and non-destructive tests were carried out on an important historic building in Reggio Calabria: the National Museum of “Magna Grecia”.
