Sentence examples for appreciable deformation from inspiring English sources

Plastic behavior refers to the tendency of an element to experience appreciable deformation at constant load, just like the flow of molten plastic.

It is found that the response of FRP strengthened beams is not always brittle and that after the initiation of delamination, the retrofitted beams continue to carry load and undergo appreciable deformation.

Large local pressure gradients (up to 100 MPa) due to surface tension induced by adsorption may cause appreciable deformations but typically do not produce large volumetric changes (Walker et al. 1988a).

The amorphous-crystalline interface exhibits good strain compatibility after appreciable plastic deformation.

Metals are used in engineering structures (e.g., automobiles, bridges, pressure vessels) because, in contrast to glass or ceramic, they can undergo appreciable plastic deformation before breaking.

Compression tests show that the addition of the glass reinforcement increases the strength of pure Al from 155 to 250 MPa, while retaining appreciable plastic deformation with a fracture strain ranging between 70% and 40%.

In particular, the composites with 20 and 40 vol.% reinforcement display yield and compressive strengths exceeding that of pure Al by a factor of 2 3, while retaining appreciable plastic deformation ranging between 45% and 15%.

The simulations are based on the assumption that dislocation sources or multiplication sites are rare and that every source has to operate several times to generate appreciable plastic deformation.

In addition, the high post-yield stiffness of the pins, combined with the appreciable elastic deformation capacity of the moment-resisting frame, results in significant reduction of residual storey drifts, which are found to have a mean value of 0.06% under the design earthquake and a mean value of 0.12% under the maximum considered earthquake.

This blind rupture area is consistent with aftershock relocations and agrees with our field and ALOS-2 InSAR observations of no appreciable surface deformation or surface rupture near Mt. Kinabalu.

Light-weight mechanical components are prone to appreciable elastic deformations and experience vibrational motions.
