Sentence examples for a controlled failure from inspiring English sources

Ply-drop triggers were incorporated into both face sheets of the sandwich web to initiate a controlled failure leading to a progressive crushing failure mode.

In addition to increasing the overall strength of the screw, a main constraint and goal of the expandable screw design was to create a method of controlled failure to reduce the risk of neural injury in a clinical setting.

But why not adopt an approach that would, where necessary, allow the controlled failure of a major financial institution?

While Secretary Geithner believed that the system could absorb an uncontrolled Lehman bankruptcy last fall, he is now effectively telling the country that even the controlled failure of a major bank would lead to catastrophe, and that taxpayers should be prepared to spend hundreds of billions and possibly trillions of dollars to keep the zombie banks afloat.

Crashworthiness of a high-performance composite structure is associated to its energy absorption capacity through controlled failure mechanisms during an impact or crushing event.

Since the sandwich failure is initiated by core failure, a trigger concept for CFRP composite sandwich panels was developed based on local modifications in the fold pattern of the core for controlled failure initiation.

Creep rupture (plasticity controlled failure) and slow crack growth are two important failure mechanisms that limit the lifetime of polymer constructions under load.

Supporting the objective of controlled failure, the only difference in trabecular block damage between the normal and expanded screw was an additional slot where the arm removed material.

Furthermore, when making the same comparison in the composite test block, not only did the expandable screw succeed in creating the desired controlled failure in the trabecular portion, but also it resulted in significantly less damage in all measured directions in the cortical surface.
