A recently developed unified fatigue failure criterion that defined the boundaries of the applicable region of the theory was also incorporated.
Moreover, we compared the experimental results with several proposed equations for estimating the drag coefficients and Sherwood number and clarified the applicable region of each equation.
A new criterion of the applicable region of ROT is obtained, i.e. the relative particle size β="2πa/λ⩾20, where a is the particle radius and λ is the wavelength of light.
= Not applicable Central regions = Montreal, Quebec City, and Laval; peripheral regions = Chaudière-Appalaches, Lanaudière, Laurentides, and Montérégie; intermediate regions = Bas Saint-Laurent, Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, Mauricie-Bois-Franc, Estrie, and Outaouais; remote regions = Abitibi-Témiscamingue and Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
However, the validity of these models is limited by assumptions of material heterogeneity, geometric dimensions and slenderness, and by Saint-Venant's Principle, i.e. they are only applicable to regions remote from boundary constraints, discontinuities and points of load application.
We select these classes because they are simple to interpret and broadly applicable across regions.
Thus, our method is possibly applicable to regions other than Japan if they have high seismicity.
Our boundary condition is applicable in regions where the motion is close to spherically symmetric.
Published late in 2000 by FEMA, the guidelines are applicable to regions of low, medium and high seismicity throughout the US.
These company programs involve instrumenting a statistically valid sample of vehicles and measuring their use in customers' hands across applicable geographic regions.
