Load partitioning and evidence of deformation twinning in dual-phase fine-grained zr-2.5%Nb alloy. [PDF]
In situ neutron diffraction loading experiments were carried out on a cold-rolled dual-phase (a-phase, '"' 10% b-phase) Zr–2.5%Nb alloy at room temperature. The specimens were cut at different angles from the rolling direction (RD) towards the transverse

In this study, the determination of the direct and indirect tensile strength of granite rock was carried out in compliance with related standard test methods. In order to analyze rock tensile strength between direct (with using a new dumbbell shape) and indirect (Brazilian tensile strength) test methods were conducted and obtained results were compared
