The deflection difference between G2 and G1 tended to decrease as the PS force increased.
For the two-girder bridge, the yield and failure loads were approximately 2500 and 2800 kN, respectively, where the maximum deflection difference between G1 and G2 was 3 mm.
The deflection results shown in Fig. 21b verify that the deflection difference between G1 and G2 was minor due to the effective stress transfer by the cross beams and the structural continuity between the girders, the cross beams, and the deck.
One example of such a property is the range of motion (ROM), which is defined as the deflection difference between the maximum applied loads in each direction.
Deflection differences at the loaded edge between uncracked and cracked shaft are used for the computation of the local flexibilities.
For the shortest cantilever length 2L (RB2), the deflection difference according to the pretension slightly increased.
Results reveal that even small violations in the bonding between layers, may increase the resulting stresses, lateral deflections, and the differences between lateral deflections of the successive layers to more than twice, thrice, and five times, respectively.
Because of finite stiffness of grinding system, grinding force will cause the tool deflection (the difference between actual cutting depth and nominal cutting depth).
The response latencies (ms) of each BEG deflection, defined as the time differences between the extra stimulus (S2) and the peaks and troughs of the resulting BEG, are plotted against the corresponding S1-S2 interval (ms).
The measured high-temperature deformation fields of the test sandwich panels reveal that an in-plane homogeneous thermal expansion occurs as expected, while the out-of-plane deformation shows evident axisymmetric distributions with the maximum deflections dependent on the temperature differences between the back and front facets.
(c) To test whether there are systematic topographical and amplitude differences between the SN deflections in response to different features, we compared the difference maps for each feature selection in a pair-wise fashion, using permutation-corrected t-maps.
