Nonlinear static and dynamic analyses are carried out by using a damage-plasticity constitutive law for masonry.
In addition, an accumulated damage contour was represented to predict the failure location by using a continuum damage mechanics approach.
Intralaminar cracks, one the other hand, are more often accounted for by using a continuum damage approach, (e.g. a smeared crack approach).
We highlight differences and similarities between QSI and LVI damage starting from the analysis of the variations of the acoustic behavior and by using a suitable anisotropic damage model developed in the framework of the Continuum Damage Mechanics theory.
Nevertheless, we did find one cell line from the group of RS patient-derived cell lines that showed similar γH2AX kinetics to the ligase IV knockout cell line, which was confirmed by using a direct DNA damage and repair assay.
Apple could make the glass more durable by using a thicker version of damage resistance glass, says Haynes.
Also new design methods based on numerical calculation of the creep behaviour by using a constitutive creep equation including a damage parameter are required to make full use of the strength potential but also taking into account their specific stress-strain relaxation behaviour.
In this paper, we show that geometric and measurement uncertainty cause considerable problem in damage assessment which can be alleviated by using a fuzzy logic-based approach for damage detection.
Medical advances included the first-ever attempt to repair heart attack damage by using a patient's own heart stem cells.
A lot of people in this situation lessened the damage by using a grandfather exemption based on the IRAs balance in 1986.
