| The lower maximum load used for calculation of graft elongations assured that values would be available for all specimens. |
| It is shown that tensile elongations between 150 and 200 percent can be obtained with all alloys under the appropriate conditions of temperature and strain rate. |
| Furthermore, any resonance with the Earth is illusory in that Mercury is not well placed for observations except during its brief greatest elongations near its aphelion. |
| Some researches gave specific attention to cooling rate effects and increased tensile elongations obtained with slower cooling rates. |
| To ensure that stressing was proceeding as expected, the testing agency measured the tendon elongations and compared them to the calculated elongations. |
| Thus, the mechanical response in the adhesion geometry can be only partially estimated since adhesion induces strong elongations in the adhesive material. |
