Texture, either crystallographic or morphological, strongly influences the final mechanical properties and thus needs to be taken carefully into account when performing a stress analysis, according to an appropriate grain-interaction model [4-8].
Where such a model fails to describe the material behaviour (because of too restrictive hypotheses), mechanical properties can be measured by means of in-situ XRD during mechanical testing [9-11].
A very important feature, that is only available at SR facilities, is the possibility of tuning the X-ray energy: ideally, high energy means deep penetration, useful for measuring bulk properties; whereas low energy means shallow penetration, and allows measuring surface properties.
The technique consists of repeating an X-ray stress measurement at different applied loads: X-ray elastic constants, in terms of stress factors Fij [2], are extrapolated for every reflection and sample tilt as the slope of the strain versus applied load plot.
Electrodeposited Nickel, extrapolating stress factors: (200) reflection, ψ=0°, φ=0° (beam energy 15 keV).

Both static and dynamic tests were carried out at the aim of evaluating the residual load-bearing capacity and investigating the effects of deterioration on their dynamic properties.
Several factors, as aggressive environmental conditions, corrosion and cracking propagation due to cyclic loads, may bring to a substantial reduction of the safety margins.
Indeed, the edge beams usually undergo higher stress levels and are more exposed to deterioration factors, as weather, chemical attacks of chlorides contained in de-icing salts and pollutants emitted by vehicle traffic.
Each deck of the viaduct was built by five beams having the geometrical and mechanical characteristics nominally equal.
Both the scaling factors have been estimated through a FE model, assuming the mean values of the material properties and the geometrical dimensions reported in the original design documents.

Excess UV exposure damages plant DNA, negatively affecting growth [3, 28-31].
This causes a loss of mechanical properties, reduced functionality, and reduced lifespan.
Aggregation also creates weak points in the composite thereby weakening the mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of the product.

Chemical vapor deposited (CVD) diamond film has a series of outstanding properties.
Introduction The outstanding properties of Chemical vapor deposited (CVD) diamond film, extreme hardness, low friction coefficient, excellent wear resistance and high thermal conductivity address CVD diamond film as the ideal cutting and drilling tools [1-3].
Before the temperature field analysis, follows are some assumptions made to simplify the calculation: The physical properties of CVD diamond film (such as thermal conductivity, heat capacity and density) are isotropic and symmetrical.
With the above-mentioned assumptions and the mathematical model for heat transfer and mechanical properties mentioned in Refs [10], a thermal analysis is performed to calculate the temperature distribution in the workpiece by using ANSYS.
Optimal scanning speed and laser power The power of the laser and the scanning speed are two key factors in the machining process of CVD diamond film.

Their influence on the structure of cement stone differ in each case, but in general can be divided into a physical influence – mikrofiller filling the fine pores and enhancing mechanical properties and impermeability of cement stone, and a chemical influence – the reaction with the components of cement clinker, leading to the formation of additional structures, which in turn positively affect the mechanical and durability properties of the composite.
Nanoparticles offer significantly improved properties (especially reactivity) than their micro-counterparts and moreover, due to quantum effects, they may offer entirely new properties.
The product of this reaction is C-S-H gel, which fills cement stone pores and enhances its hardened state mechanical properties [4].
Both mentioned nanoparticle doses have advanced to the next stage, in which their effects on physical and mechanical properties of cement mortars, particularly tensile and compressive strength, were verified.
This phenomenon is observed by many authors and refers to a specific behavior of nanoparticles that affect the initial properties, but interfere less in the longer-term ones.

The biodegradation process of bioplastics is influenced by several factors such as pH, water content, temperature, nutrient availability, and temperature.
To improve the physical properties of this bioplastic, glycerol is added as a plasticizer and chitosan as a reinforcement [5].
The addition is done so that the plastic film has mechanical and physical properties that can be improved and so that it can be protected from microorganisms that can damage the plastic film.
The tensile value for moderate properties (Bioplastic Standard) is 1-10 Mpa.
In making this plastic sample, optical microscope testing was carried out to see the surface physical properties of a bioplastic sample and tensile testing to determine the mechanical properties of a bioplastic sample.

Their study allows us to better understand the patterns of behavior of such systems, optimize the processes associated with their use, and create new materials with unique properties [3].
It is worth noting that multicomponent systems consist of particles that can have different shapes, sizes and physical properties.
It should be noted that such models allow for the statistical properties of the system to be taken into account without the need for detailed modeling of each particle.
It is also important that particles of different shapes can form hybrid structures, affecting the macroscopic properties of the system).
The simulation allowed us to obtain important indicators of particle self-organization, their interaction and diffusion properties depending on their geometry.

Recent studies have focused on developing a suitable scaffold for optimizing bone regeneration that have the similar physical properties of bone.
The degree of porosity, however, is closely related with mechanical stability.
The gradual replacement of scaffold by new bone at an appropriate rate should be achieved without disturbing the regenerating environmental factors.
There is a close relation among the degree of porosity, rate of biodegradation and mechanical stability.
In our trials to improve biodegradability, the the incorporation of Na2O without affecting other physical characteristics such as compressive strength was not successful.
