21 Jul 1998: Several tests were carried out on this one-way actuator, both in the one-disk and three disk configurations. ... Working torques used in the test varied from -0.2 Nm to 0.62 Nm.

10 Nov 2003: Tension, bending and torsion tests were performed to obtain the stress-strain and moment-curvature relationships which show almost linear behaviour of the material for large strains except for a small

30 Jul 2002: A physicalmodel is built to analyse the feasibility of the concept and to test various deploy-ment schemes. ... A physicalmodel is built to analyse the feasibility of the concept and to test various deploymentschemes.

10 Nov 2003: Predictions of the tensile strengths of parallel-lay ropes were obtained by putting this yarn data into the model and the results compared with rope tests.

10 Nov 2003: Using the Kevlar 49-on-aluminium abrasion tests performed here, a general formula has been devised for lifetime, in terms of contact pressure, amplitude of slip and thickness to be abraded.

16 Mar 2005: Where available, model test solutions have also been used as benchmark.

10 Nov 2003: routine against test results.

9 Jan 2004: The SIM method seems promising as it shows repeatability when a number of tests are carried out.

10 Nov 2003: Deployment tests are carried out on a 2.3 m cable-driven retractable Rigid-Panel Solar Array.

13 Jul 2005: To ensure the most efficient use of limited economic resources, it is important that such actions are only undertaken on those bridges which actually need intervention.
