Therefore, the crystal structure is not a crucial factor to select the catalytic material for a counter electrode in DSCs.
High efficiency of the former is attributed to high short circuit photocurrent density, open circuit voltage as well as fill factor.
This may further explain that the crystal structure is not a crucial factor to select the catalytic material for a counter electrode in DSCs.
Moreover, the Jsc and the Voc are also evidently affected by the characteristics of catalytic material.

It was originally assumed that the calibration curves are not dependent on the properties of the specimen being compressed, however, Sofuoglu [8] performed elastic-plastic FEM simulations that found that the strain rate sensitivity and bulging ratio is affected by the applied friction factor.
To implement the materials plastic properties into the finite element model, the friction correction curve according to the expression below was presented: σMPa=546·ε0.16; The constant (c) = 546 being the strength coefficient and the strain exponent (n) = 0.16.
Fig. 4 Ring specimen under compression Fig. 4 shows the deformation of the ring specimen under different friction factors.
A shear friction model was taken for a range of friction factors, ‘m’, from 0.1 to 1.0.
The friction factors (m), top and bottom velocities are included in Table 3.

At last, this paper adopted corresponding construction measure as per the uncertain factors.
As the slope stability affected directly to construction safety and the normal operation of the hydropower station, it is thought of a difficult and important issue.
Mechanic Property Analysis of Scaffold in High Slope Treatment Force Analysis of the Scaffold Permanent load: (dead weight of) scaffold poling, leger, log, bridging, lateral diagonal, fastener and safety net; dead weight of scaffold floor, railing, toe guard.
Variable load: drawing force which is produced by mechanical vibration is considered as 10KN. wind load: Wk=0.7μs·μz·Wo =0.7×1.0×0.8×3.12×0.2=0.35KN/m2

AAS has many advantages such as good mechanical properties, acid and alkali resistance, sulfate corrosion resistance, freeze-thaw resistance, low hydration heat and porosity [4].
With the optimum amount of rubber, the negative effect of rubber on mechanical properties was balanced by the alkalinity effect.
However, when excessive rubber was added, over 5% as found in this study, the alkalinity effect is insufficient in balancing the negative effect of low strength of rubber on the mechanical properties of AASM.
So that, both C-S-H gel characteristics and pore size distribution of AAS are the critical factors to generate higher shrinkage.

Physical degradation is caused by mechanical impacts that change material properties (humidity, temperature, etc.).
The moisture degradation factor based on low velocity of air flow and temperature is not mostly apparent within short time.
It is possible to design ductile, flexible, breathable, permeable and transparent properties of nanofibers.
The resulting material has excellent bactericidal properties [3].
Properties of this layer can be modified in accordance with the results of computational model.

However, both cost and time can be one of the constraints factors, particularly in the early stage of design or analysis.
Introduction Aseptic loosening of joint replacement is becoming a crucial factor of TAR failures and revision.
The metal parts, tibial and talar components were assigned with Cobalt-Chromium (CoCr) material properties with titanium sprayed coating on articulating surfaces.
The wear factor used was through all simulations is 2.64E-07mm3/Nm [17].
The use of the ligamentous structure on the previous study indeed affected the contact pressure distribution, where by in this present study, the ligamentous structure was excluded to replicate the model of ankle wear simulator [4].
