... but back face absent. A fair comparison between competing beam designs is made on an equal mass basis by doubling the front face thickness when the back face is absent. The quasi-static, three-point bending responses were measured under simply supported and clamped boundary conditions. For both end...

... here, expresses the rate of energy dissipation per cycle within the joint under various combinations of extensional and clamping load in terms of dissipation under other load conditions. The use of this relationship—though not exact—is demonstrated for the purpose of extrapolating a representative set...
