Estimates of intra plate deformation are below 1 2 mm/year, indicating that these plates behaved rigidly and so could be counted as true tectonic plates.
The analytical calculation of hold-down loads for open-top tanks and other flexible structures relies on a fundamental assumption that the structure behaves rigidly.
In case of controlled system with a high value of normalized slip force ((R_{text{f}}, =,5)), the TMFD and primary structure behave as a rigidly connected structure and no relative motion between the damper and primary structure takes place.

The unique measurement setup yielded a 'first-off' opportunity to validate a soil-structure interaction model for a rigidly behaving pile.
The definite square loops reveal strong out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy, and the single-step switching suggests that the perpendicular TbFe and [Co/Ni]N layers are exchange coupled rigidly, behaving as a single layer even for N = 10.
On the other hand, at very high damper damping, the two structures behave as though they are rigidly connected.
It can only shake its head sorrowfully and say: honestly, you go on stage with your band NERD in Berlin, make a speech asking if your audience are proud to be German "come rain or shine", and suggest they behave like "German soldiers" while extending your arm rigidly in front of your head, and what happens?
Because unless we neutralize the belief in our minds that rigidly lays out how our children should be or behave, we are likely to come across in a way fuels their defiance.
Dan Baum, a journalist and author who has closely studied the Coors family, said he thought Mr. Coors's biggest problem could be the rigidly hierarchical, publicity-shy traditions that for generations have dictated how members of the Coors family are expected to behave.
