Sentence examples for constrained plastic from inspiring English sources

The observed behavior is attributed to the effective low ductility of the constrained binder and its compromising role as the toughening and fatigue-susceptible agent in hardmetals, the latter on the basis that cyclic loading degrades or inhibits toughening mechanisms operative under monotonic loading, i.e. crack bridging and constrained plastic stretching.

It is shown that the superior properties arise as a result of the spatial arrangement of WC grains within Co, the strength and stiffness of WC and the constrained plastic deformation behavior of ductile Co layer binding the WC grains.

The center of the endurance domain is defined as an internal variable that stands for the internal stress field within the crack tip region due to constrained plastic deformation.

The opposite effects of an applied uniaxial compressive stress on the α → γ transformation and on the γ → α transformation can be discussed as the outcome of constrained plastic deformation due to transformation-induced strain.

The presence of the rigid carbon fibers constrains plastic deformation of the modified epoxy and limits the toughness transfer in the composite.

The corrugations appear again on the thinnest films when adding a cap layer, indicating that the fracture mechanisms are primarily dominated by the loading configuration and geometry which constrain the plastic zone extension.

Further, trait values may already be close to their physiologically determined maximum, constraining further plastic increases.

Importantly, multiple potential environmental drivers of the observed phenotypic changes are rarely studied exhaustively, despite the fact that more than one environmental factor may be affecting or constraining the plastic responses observed in wild populations (Merilä and Hendry 2014).

The observed population trend (i.e. βB) as function of breeder density – without a significant within-individual component – and the observation of steeper laying date spring temperature slope with increasing breeder density in the environmental determinant analysis suggested that females living on average at lower densities were possibly constrained in their plastic response.

To prevent motion artifacts during microCT scanning, anaesthetized mice were constrained in a custom-made plastic mouse bed.

For the second method, plastic slip is constrained by grain boundaries seen as impenetrable obstacles to dislocations.
