Fig. 17. Load to failure curves of five dehydrated specimens of WECB from B.
canaliculatum. There is an order of magnitude increase in yield stress,
and little to no change in yield strain among hydrated and dehydrated
specimens. See text for values of toughness, yield strain, yield stress and
initial modulus. Red dotted curve represents cyclic loading of native specimen
seen in Fig. 1.
