By far the greatest share of both experimental studies of mechanical properties of fibres and theoretical studies of structural mechanics has been on tensile properties. This paper therefore concentrates on explanations of tensile stress-strain curves and the way in which they lead to fracture. Some comments on other forces, particularly in cyclic loading, will be included in a concluding section.

Many experimental studies of entrainment have been made, but few of them have been made under actual distillation conditions. The studies are often questionable because they are hmited to the air-water system, and they do not use a realistic method for collecting and measuring the amount of entrainment. It is clear that the dominant variable affecting entrainment is gas velocity through the two-phase zone on the plate. Mechanisms of entrainment generation are discussed in the subsection Liquid-in-Gas Dispersions. ... 

As mentioned earlier, the contact-mechanics-based experimental studies of interfacial adhesion primarily include (1) direct measurements of surface and interfacial energies of polymers and self-assembled monolayers (2) quantitative studies on the role of interfacial coupling agents in the adhesion of elastomers (3) adhesion of microparticles on surfaces and (4) adhesion of viscoelastic polymer particles. In these studies, a variety of experimental tools have been employed by different researchers. Each one of these tools offers certain advantages over the others. These experimental studies are reviewed in Section 4.

Heat transfer in micro-channels occurs under superposition of hydrodynamic and thermal effects, determining the main characteristics of this process. Experimental study of the heat transfer in micro-channels is problematic because of their small size, which makes a direct diagnostics of temperature field in the fluid and the wall difficult. Certain information on mechanisms of this phenomenon can be obtained by analysis of the experimental data, in particular, by comparison of measurements with predictions that are based on several models of heat transfer in circular, rectangular and trapezoidal micro-channels. This approach makes it possible to estimate the applicability of the conventional theory, and the correctness of several hypotheses related to the mechanism of heat transfer. It is possible to reveal the effects of the Reynolds number, axial conduction, energy dissipation, heat losses to the environment, etc., on the heat transfer. 

The detail experimental study of flow boiling heat transfer in two-phase heat sinks was performed by Qu and Mudawar (2003b). It was shown that the saturated flow boiling heat transfer coefficient in a micro-channel heat sink is a strong function of mass velocity and depends only weakly on the heat flux. This result, as well as the results by Lee and Lee (2001b), indicates that the dominant mechanism for water micro-channel heat sinks is forced convective boiling but not nucleate boiling. 

In the following we present an experimental study of gold atomic contacts formed in various aqueous electrolytes under electrochemical potential control. We will focus in particular on the electrical and mechanical properties of the electrochemical nanojunctions, as well as on their interplay in the presence/absence of various adsorbates (e.g., H2, C104, S042-, Cl-, Br-, and I-) [209, 210]. 

The first experimental study of this reaction was performed by Cooper and Melville [6]. The main experimental evidences of this mechanism are the following [7-9] ...
