Sentence examples for behaviour of a complex from inspiring English sources

The dissection of a system into many simple units in order to describe the behaviour of a complex structure in terms of the laws governing the elementary components is sometimes referred to, often with a pejorative implication, as reductionism.

The behaviour of a complex thermodynamic system, such as Earth's atmosphere, can be understood by first applying the principles of states and properties to its component parts—in this case, water, water vapour, and the various gases making up the atmosphere.

System dynamics, for example, deals with internal feedback loops and time delays that affect the behaviour of a complex system.

The behaviour of a complex geotechnical problem is measured in each constructions step and these measurements are compared to simulation results.

Predicting the operating behaviour of a complex assembly including active components is a challenge, since accurate models of those components are rarely available.

The vibrational behaviour of a complex structure depends on the transmission and reflection properties of its substructures, and parametric studies of these properties are often desirable.

In trying to characterise the behaviour of such a complex system, we felt it important to incorporate the domain knowledge of known behaviours.

This study shows how the use of suitable models, derived from analysis of the load supported by each component of the multi-material, is helpful for simulating the thermo-mechanical behaviour of such a complex structure.

Any realistic representation of its behaviour is a complex numerical task owing to its extremely variable mechanical behaviour.

The 2010 eruption (VEI 4) exhibited a range of PDC behaviour in a complex multi-stage event that marked a change in eruption behaviour at Merapi, being the first eruption of this magnitude and style since 1872.

Since the main purpose of the current study is to gain a general understanding of particle travel behaviour in a complex arterial network including the impact of particle size, weight and release locations (both, in terms of fast and slow flow regions) to the particle trajectory, it may be concluded that the results obtained from the simplified model are still very useful.
