Sentence examples for cracked setting from inspiring English sources

But Pioline cracked, setting the stage for two minor players — France's Arnaud Boetsch and Sweden's Nicklas Kulti — to play the major roles.

The cracks set on the center line reduce the capacity of slenderer columns more significantly; while through cracks set on one side have more dramatic influence on the columns with small slenderness ratio.

This crack set eyes rolling among the assembled reporters.

For columns with length of 1100 mm, the influence of through crack set on the center is more significant than the crack set on one side, which is quite different from columns with length of 600 and 850 mm.

The effects of through cracks set at different locations are related to the slenderness ratios of columns.

However, for columns with length of 850, the decreasing ratios of the capacity caused by through crack set at two different locations are quite similar to each other.

The maximum decreasing ratios of capacity caused by cracks set on the center and on one side are 29.3 and 33.1%, respectively, as shown in Fig. 6b.

The decreasing ratio of capacity can be up to 24.8%, which is caused by the crack set on one side with crack length ratio of 0.7, as can be seen from Fig. 6a.

In terms of through crack, for columns with length of 600 mm, the crack set on the center line has less significant effect on the capacity of columns than that set on one side with the ratio ({{X_{text{c}} } mathord{left/ {vphantom {{X_{text{c}} } w}} right. kern-0pt} w}) of 0.25.

The main reason for the difference among columns with three kinds of lengths is that in specimens with larger slenderness ratio, less compressive load is carried by the half column separated by the center through crack, and both the half column and the small branch divided by the crack set on one side are able to slide and lose contact with the steel plate.

The main reason is that the half column separated by through crack on the center carries more compressive load than the small branch divided by the crack set on one side, and due to the larger frictional force induced on the interface between the half column and the bottom steel plate, it is more difficult for the half column to slide and relieve the compressive load than the small branch.
