Sentence examples for deflection to which from inspiring English sources

That these issues have now been subsumed in a debate over political correctness and free speech on campus — important but largely separate subjects — is proof of the self-serving deflection to which we should be accustomed at this point.

The loads were applied in increments and were maintained for a minimum period to allow the deflections to stabilize, which means that the short-term deflections are considered for the analysis and long-term deflections of soil are neglected.

The critical deflection or curvature is the laminate deflection or curvature corresponding to which the ultimate bending strength is measured.

Forces and torques were acquired by optically measuring the angular deflections of the beam to which the flies were tethered using a laser and a photodiode.

All forces were measured optically by tracking the deflection of the tungsten rod to which the fly was tethered.

A larger strength contrast or a smaller approach angle will be more conducive to deflection, which is consistent with experimental observation.

A question thus arises regarding the extent to which these two negative deflections provide different information about the process of change discrimination in this paradigm.

The GAP system consists of pipelines connected together with flexible joints in each pipe section, which allows deflection to avoid torsional stresses from the adjoining frames.

The test results are listed in Tables 2 and 3 and the load-deflection curves of the test specimens are shown in Figs. 8 and 9. Service load, or flexural serviceability load, given in Tables 2 and 3 is defined as the load corresponding to a deflection equal to span/350 which is the allowed deflection according to the Egyptian code for concrete structures (HBRC 2008).

The CNF tip coated with a thin Au film less than approximately 8 nm in thickness elastically buckled when subjected to mechanical deflection, which was similar to the bare CNF tips.

Mechanoelectrical transduction of cochlear hair cells in response to acoustic stimuli involves specialized actin-cored microvilli called stereocilia, the deflection of which leads to potassium influx from the endolymph, depolarizes hair cells, and in turn opens voltage-gated calcium channels in cell membranes.
