The mean stochastic response must agree with the cohesive crack model, crack band model and nonlocal damage models.
The finite-element meshes where constant-strain crack band elements in the localized regions are combined with the continuous elements everywhere else yield, on the other hand, a computationally stable and accurate post-instability response for a wide range of crack-band element widths.
An extensive parametric study was developed to evaluate the influence of five parameters on the glass post-cracking non-linear behaviour: (i) glass fracture energy, Gf, (ii) crack band width, h, (iii) glass tensile strength, fg,t, (iv) shape of the tension-softening diagram, and (v) shear retention factor, β.
And a crack band, led by William Foster McDaniel, keep the feet tapping and the joint swinging.
Featuring a crack band, including Bobby Trimble on drums and Dave Biller on guitar, this is a mature, convincing album.
And of the night's acts she was the most vibrant, with a crack band behind her (particularly the drummer Louis Winfield).
It's performed by a crack band of two drummers, a bass player (the excellent Tony Gedrich) and Mr. Connelly on keyboards.
Hence Wainwright's new album Recovery, on which some of his choice songs are dusted down and made over by the songwriter and a crack band of LA session players.
It isn't impossible to capture a sound or to put together a crack band — Roth had already done that in 2001, when the Dap-Kings began touring with Jones.
With the saxophonist Joe Lovano and the trumpeter Dave Douglas leading the charge, backed by a crack band with such stalwarts as the pianist Renee Rosnes and the drummer Eric Harland, the evening is heavy with promise.
