The phrase "a thick ring of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a substantial circular object or formation, often in a physical or metaphorical context.
Example: "The jewelry store displayed a thick ring of gold that caught everyone's attention."
Alternatives: "a wide band of" or "a large circle of".
The gendarme barked for the soldier outside to come in, and handed him a thick ring of keys.
By evening, a thick ring of nearly a hundred spectators has formed around the dancers, who shake and move like maracas within the ever-tightening circle.
The pool is set just off the East River within the green hills of Astoria Park, and its fading blue concrete floor is surrounded by short cement bleachers and a thick ring of trees.
a T2-weighted image demonstrates a left frontal cavernous malformation surrounded by a thick ring of haemosiderin.
Upon attaining Category 4 status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, the cyclone resembled the appearance of an annular hurricane; an annular hurricane is one with a large and symmetric eye, surrounded by a thick ring of intense convection, and usually is able to maintain its intensity and structure for several days.
Structural analysis of BGPh shows a hydrophobic mound at the end of the active site, which is surrounded by a thick ring of positively charged amino acids [ 23].
This paper analyzes the in-plane dynamics of such a thick ring on a unilateral elastic foundation, specifically, on a two-parameter unilateral elastic foundation, where the stiffness of the foundation is treated as linear in the circumferential direction but unilateral (i.e. collapsible or tensionless) in the radial direction.
Lift it up on to your fingertips and rotate it, stretching it out as you go until it's as thin as possible, leaving a thicker ring of dough around the edges.
This corresponds to evaluate the radial σ R and hoop σ H stresses of a rotating circular crown, or a thick ring, with a thickness of d = 20 km, as a function of the radial distance, r; the crust Poisson's ratio, ν; the crust density, ρ C; the Earth angular velocity, ω; and the internal and external circular crown radii, R 1 and R 2 (see Appendix).
If a thick ring is typical of a non-spatial organisation and varying inter-pore distances, we verify with the thin ring that a uniform inter-pore distance without any preferred orientation in the organisation is obtained for double-anodized alumina.
This paper presents a reduced-order compensation scheme for computing the static deformation response of a thick ring supported by a unilateral elastic foundation to an arbitrary applied force.
