The crack-bridging relation of the developed composite, computed via a micromechanics-based model, satisfied the necessary strength and energy-based conditions of steady-state flat crack propagation, which result in sequential development of multiple cracking.
The bridging relations of the material were deconvoluted from the chevron-notched specimen R-curves by employing the fracture mechanics weight function method and assuming that pullout bridging was the dominant bridging mechanism.
The effects of the measured interface properties on the crack bridging σ relation of the composites were investigated using a micromechanics-based model to explain the experimentally observed macroscopic tensile ductility of the composites.
It seems that the bridge location in relation of the epicenter does not impact importantly the fragility curves.
Based on these, the cycle-dependent crack bridging relation is derived at the mesoscale.
This multiscale characterisation method is validated by comparing the computed degradation relation of the bridging stress to that obtained from the experiment.
By inventing a version of ethical equipment that would help explore roles and relations, the work bridged the concerns of the team's project with those of our post-ELSI endeavours.
A crack bridging relation-based hardening cohesive law is developed to better represent the characteristics of ECC materials such as tensile strain-hardening behaviour and ultra-high ductility.
The undamped natural frequencies and mode shapes of the linearized model of the cable-stayed bridge are determined, and orthogonality relations of the mode shapes are established.
He was selected by the White House as a featured ambassador for the US-Japan Leadership Council, a bipartisan group comprised of the top thinkers and creators from both countries for the purpose of bridging cultural relations through art and technology.
They are called cross bridges and are believed to be responsible for the movement and force developed during contraction (for the relation of cross bridges to the molecular architecture of thick filaments, see below).
