The authors are thankful for assistance in the laboratory at Department of Mechanical Engineering at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences. Mr. Harald Moen operated the tensile machine, and the specimens are machined by Mr. Kjetil Gravelseter. A special thanks to the faculty of Engineering and Science that has financed IAESTE-practitioners who have helped us in this work.
This investigation is funded by internal resources at the faculty if engineering and science at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences.
