Sentence examples for critical drift from inspiring English sources

The present paper aims to provide a simple alternative method for the prediction of the storey drift distribution and the critical drift concentration in a RC frame.

An empirical relationship between the critical drift concentration factor and the overall regularity index is derived based on the dynamic analysis results.

For each return time T<π2 we show there exists a critical drift μc(T) such that if |μ−2πm/T|<μc(T) for some integer m then the expected winding number for each walker is asymptotically m.

This is shown to provide a notion of global curvature or average rate of growth in two probabilistic senses: First, on surfaces (d=2), it is twice the critical drift separating transience from recurrence for Brownian motion with constant-length radial drift.

This is achieved by, first relating the global stiffness of the sub frames of the structure to the most critical target drift and then providing as much capacity as demand imposed on the elements of the frame.

While I don't see this as critical, a drift to the bearish side in this survey would have been better news for the bullish contingent.

Table 6 Test results for critical strengths and drift ratios.

This is usually bounded by predetermined limits of story drifts (critical for non-structural members) or strains capacities (critical for structural members), or when the base shear top deflection diagram (pushover curve) drops by more (say) than 20% and the building model is considered unstable further on.

This inelastic static analysis is ended when story drift limits (critical for non-structural members) or strains capacities (critical for structural members) are reached.

Others, including the new general secretary, Ruprecht Polenz, say "it is critical that we not drift to the right".

These tools include population dynamics, evolutionary game theory, frequency dependent selection and critical slowing down, genetic drift, and spatial diversity.
