Computational models of cracked composite cylindrical shells are developed by exploiting a special meshing scheme in which the element size is reduced incrementally from the element size employed in the uncracked region by approaching the crack tip.
After each simulation the fusion area in the fracture is reduced incrementally until a predefined stop criterion (Table 1), i.e. 20% of the maximum von Mises stress arising in the current step of the algorithm is reached.
New front and rear suspensions and a stiffer frame improve the handling, smooth the ride and reduce noise incrementally.
Mr. Buttrick forecast that the airline would reduce flights incrementally, cutting 5percentt at a time as it worked through its schedules.
Generally we can only reduce sentences incrementally, by 10% to 20%," says Novak, "but that can be a year of someone's life".
Programmes that incrementally reduce carbon emissions are still being put together.
If a homeowner recognizes this and wants to rebalance to a more acceptable risk level, he discovers the asymmetry: There is no practical way to reduce his borrowings incrementally.
If global problems such as climate change and waste remain unresolved, society can choose either to continue attempting to incrementally reduce wastes and lessen impacts, or to consider a more ambitious approach that paradoxically may be easier to implement.
A long-term 'urban planning-based' approach, on the other hand, involving the imposition of 'pre-urbanised' (greenfield), or even stricter, runoff restrictions to all new developments (or redevelopments) within urban areas could incrementally reduce the storm-water runoff entering the system over time.
Proposals differ in their approach to reducing node power consumption, with some researchers opting to migrate VMs and set the node to a sleep state [39, 44, 56, 67], compared to incrementally reduce power consumption by using DVFS.
In some experiments, EtBr was added to either incrementally reduce DNA binding (5 200 μg/ml) or completely suppress DNA-dependent binding (200 μg/ml).
