Engineering behavior

Improving the cetane number by additives results in better engine behavior, as would be predicted by the combustion mechanisms in the diesel engine (noise reduction, better operating characteristics, particularly when cold). Nevertheless, concerning certain items such as pollution emissions, it may be better to obtain a higher cetane number rather by modification of the...

Neuss and coworkers have reported the possibility of SMPs using PCL dimethacrylate copolymers as cellular scaffold for tissue engineering. Behaviors of different cells from three different species (human mesenchymal stem cells, human mesothelial cells, and rat mesothelial cells) on the matrices were investigated, and the differentiation capacity of mesenchymal stem cells on the matrices was also analyzed [329]. The SMPs proved biocompatibility for all tested cell types, supporting viability and proliferation. The SMPs also supported the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells 3 weeks after induction.

Although interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) are now beginning to be commercially exploited, little is known about many types of engineering behavior, such as fatigue. In this paper, energyabsorbing simultaneous interpenetrating networks (SINs) based on polyether-type polyurethanes (PU) and poly(methyl methacrylate)...

The next quality parameter of diesel fuel is the ability to keep the fuel injector clean. The fuel injector is the heart of a diesel engine. These precision components meter fuel to a high degree of accuracy. Correct engine behavior depends on the injector functioning properly.

Therefore, the problems of the engineering geology faced should be of a system engineering behavior. Fortunately, in the past few decades, it has become a common consensus that the theory and methods of systems engineering must be developed and applied in the discipline of engineering geology. 

Began in 60s of 20th century, Gu et al. (1979) studied the origin, structure, and engineering behavior under the control of geological structure. They found the rock structure is the basic characteristic of rock-mass, and put forward the scientific theory of Engineering Geo-mechanics and the concept of rock-mass structure control as the foundation the theory (Sun, 1988). 

Rock-mass structure controls engineering behavior of rock-mass. This is the most basic ideology of the theory. Its core idea is the mechanics effect of structural system. 

The engineering behavior of rock-mass is the results of interaction of rock and crustal dynamic environment, namely the so-called dynamic interaction view ... 

Heterogeneous layered rocks can be characterized as formations, which consist of at least two lithological units with different engineering behavior and properties.

Because CPT soundings provide continuous records of tip and sleeve resistances (and frequently pore pressure) versus depth (Figure 7.4), they provide a continuous indicator of soil and subsurface conditions, which is useful in defining soil stratification. Numerous correlations between the CPT measurements have been developed to define soil type and soil classification. In addition, empirical correlations have been published to relate the cone tip and sleeve friction resistances to engineering behavior, including undrained shear strength of clay soils and relative density and friction of granular soils. 

Tensile Strength of Plastics A major test of the mechanical behavior of polymers, especially those plastics below their glass transition temperature, involves the measurement of tensile strength. While it can be argued that tensile strength is not the best quantity to characterize engineering behavior, it is simple, inexpensive, and very widely reported.

Two-region converters fueled with a uranium oxide slurry in the core may be a possibility as an alternative to the solution-slurry system however, not much is known about the corrosion resistance of zirconium in contact with fissioning uranium oxide or about the engineering behavior of such a slurry. 

Resin—resin is a term used within the plastics industry to describe plastic materials. It is often used interchangeably with the word plastic, but it specifically describes the material itself, whereas the word plastic can describe not only the material, but also engineering behavior (plastics deformation, etc.).
