What is Specimen: Definition and 23 Discussions

Archaeopteryx fossils from the quarries of Solnhofen limestone represent the most famous and well-known fossils from this area. They are highly significant to paleontology and avian evolution in that they document the fossil record's oldest-known birds.Over the years, twelve body fossil specimens of Archaeopteryx and a feather that may belong to it have been found, though the Haarlem specimen was reassigned to another genus by two researchers in 2017. All of the fossils come from the upper Jurassic lithographic limestone deposits, quarried for centuries, near Solnhofen, Germany.

    Notched specimen under constant K and temperature gradient

    Hello all, It seems like a fairly straightforward question but I cannot find any information in the literature. Let's suppose we apply a crack driving force K1=45 MPa.m^0.5 to a notched specimen with an upper shelf fracture toughness K_mat = 50 MPa.m^0.5 at room temperature T0=20 oC. Under a...

    Deriving the magnetic moment of a specimen in a given magnetic field

    Homework Statement I'm working on a problem that says that >If $\varepsilon_{\pm}=\mp (\mu \mu_0 H + k \theta \frac{M}{\mu N} )$ is the energy of the atom of a specimen that can orient itself either parallel or antiparallel in a magnetic field, show that $ \frac{M}{\mu N}= tanh(\frac{1}{kT}(...

    Size of specimen and compressive strength of concrete

    Hello everyone. I have a question about compressive strength of concrete. It is said that (in my country) 150 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm concrete cube is used for concrete testing. Someone asks me why 100 mm x 100 mm x 100 mm is not used. In fact, I know that sometimes it is allowed or even preferred...

    Young's Modulus of a single crystal specimen?

    Does a single crystal specimen have a smaller Young's Modulus than a polycrystalline specimen? I think a single crystal would have a lower elastic mudolus since it has less grain boundaries and probably less dislocations than a polycrystalline specimen. I'd appreciate any ideas thanks

    Notched specimen and brittleness

    How would you explain the fact that a notched specimen* of a ductile metal becomes brittle when tested uniaxially? The notch produces three axial tensions. But why does three axial tension cause brittleness? And how does the tension distribution look like in the notched area? Thanks...
