Enforced stability is brittle.
The results had no mechanical stability and were brittle when handling them.
One of the most significant problems is that pure conducting polymers are usually mechanically weak or brittle, leading to poor cycling stability during the long cycle charge/discharge process [6, 7].
The stability criterion for a brittle-plastic body loaded proportionally is presented.
Based on the geological characteristics and engineering conditions of brittle shale, a significant factor influencing shale wellbore stability-friction coefficient is proposed.
However, in the absence of a theoretical framework, the opportunities afforded by these technologies for short-term increased efficiencies may lead to the design of brittle systems that undermine overall safety or long-term stability.
However, these same boundaries lead to limited thermal stability and a tendency to fail in a brittle manner, issues which limit the practical usage of these materials.
The LLF shales have weaker hydration swelling and stronger brittle features, indicating that the LLF shales would have good wellbore stability and good hydraulic fracturing.
The well-known Ni-Mn-based magnetic shape memory alloys exhibit fascinating multicaloric effects (including elastocaloric, magnetocaloric and barocaloric effects), but they are intrinsically brittle because of weak grain boundary cohesion, which results in poor cyclic stability of elastocaloric effect.
And the UAE strategy could leave the U.S. more wedded to that government's whims, including its policy of maintaining brittle autocratic rule across the region instead of trying to secure long-term stability by having some level of popular participation.
As Alejandro Valenzuela, boss of Banorte, delicately puts it: "Decoupling is the wrong word, but there is now a certain shield".That shield, however brittle, has been forged both from financial reform in recent years and from macroeconomic stability.
