Sentence examples for alignment charts from inspiring English sources

The effective length factor is obtained by solving the exact equations numerically which require many routine calculations or by using a pair of alignment charts for the two cases of braced frames and sway frames.

Early models in the form of alignment charts (e.g., Reineke, 1927) were transparent in their application, if not their development, but the advent of statistical and computer-based models (e.g., Buckman, 1962; Clutter, 1963) commenced a subtle trend of incomplete disclosure of simulator details in published documentation.

Nomograph, also called Alignment Chart, calculating chart with scales that contain values of three or more mathematical variables, widely used in engineering, industry, and the natural and physical sciences.

Maybe it's too early to tell exactly where Ocasio-Cortez's political influence will fall on the D&D alignment chart, but it is anything but chaotic.

Open image in new window Fig. 8 Jackson Moreland Alignment Chart for braced frames showing the range of effective length factor examined in this study.

A graphical representation of Eq. (5) (Jackson Moreland Alignment Chart) is given in Fig. 8, which shows the range of K examined in this study.

(4) and (7), respectively) for load cases 1, 2, 3 and 4: aK computed from Jackson Moreland Alignment Chart and bK computed from Duan et al.; and for load cases 5 and 6: cK computed from Jackson Moreland Alignment Chart and dK computed from Duan et al. 1.

This is expected because the Duan et al. equation computes more conservative values of K for pin-ended columns than those given by the Jackson Moreland Alignment Chart, whereas both Jackson Moreland Alignment Chart and Duan et al. equation compute very close values of K for fix-ended columns, as indicated by Fig. 9.

The most common procedure used in North America for computing the column effective length factor K is the Jackson Moreland Alignment Chart, which is easy to use even though it is based on cumbersome equations.

The strength ratios plotted in Fig. 11b are based on K computed from the Jackson Moreland Alignment Chart (Eq. (5)) and EI calculated from the nonlinear equation (Eq. (7)).

Hence, Fig. 11 reinforces an earlier conclusion that there appears to be no advantage in replacing the Jackson Moreland Alignment Chart by the Duan et al. equation for the type of frames studied.
