Sentence examples for behavior of the clay from inspiring English sources

The testing results indicated that linear elastic fracture mechanics is suitable for investigating the fracture behavior of the clay.

The obtained low quality factors (Q) suggest that pronounced inelastic behavior of the clay has to be taken into account in geophysical modeling and analysis.

The results show that there are clear differences in the state of stress and deformation behavior of the clay along different unloading paths.

In addition, the velocity-strengthening behavior of the clay to silty clay suggests that faults in the very shallow portion of the Costa Rica subduction zone are stable and thus behave as creeping segments.

Given that both systems were initiated with an identical distribution of clay tactoids, we infer that the type of polymer included in these systems has a non-negligible effect on the self-assembly behavior of the clay tactoids, and through that on the materials properties of the resulting nanocomposite (see below).

The two specialized models require the prior knowledge about the contractive/dilative behavior for the clay of interest, but their transformation uncertainties are smaller.

However, the land subsidence will continue for a long while owing to the time-dependent consolidation behavior of the soft clay layer and clay aquitards.

In addition, the dynamic behavior of the model clay during scaled model tests was found to be consistent with the behavior measured during cyclic laboratory tests.

A series of shaking table tests and numerical analyses that were performed to study the performance of the laminar box and non-linear seismic behavior of the model clay are described.

The experimental research program designed to investigate the behavior of the soft clay before and after stabilization involved a series of tests that included sedimentation testing, cation exchange capacity measurement, X-ray diffractometry, unconfined compression and consolidation tests.

This specific behavior of the red clay soils studied is thought to be related to the history of their parent materials: these materials are continental sediments which may have been submitted to great hydric stress, thus leading to strongly consolidated soils with consequences such as a high proportion of poorly available water, strong aggregation and weak shrinkage properties.
