Across the crack surfaces in contact, there are tangential displacement shift and no normal displacement gap.
Results confirm the success of two methods: the VFM approach which provides the "maximum likelihood solution" and the FEMU approach based on the "displacement gap" minimization.
On one hand, the FEMU approach based on the "displacement gap" minimization yields equations which are very close to the ones of the VFM approach and therefore, its uncertainty is almost the same as the VFM one.
The largest up down displacement gap (difference of displacement between both sides of each rupture) of more than 30 cm is found in the southern part of this area.
ΔV T is directly obtained under the assumption of a moment tensor for an internal surface characterized by a displacement gap, and ΔV C is the actual volume change at the source.
Stiffness values, cranial/caudal translation and medial/lateral translation of the two bone segments and gap displacement measured during cyclic testing were compared between the short and long plate working length groups using a 2 × 9 (technique x cycle) within subjects repeated measures ANOVA.
Participants systematically responded faster to the displacement of a target than to the displacement of a gap at the same location.
Therefore, failure defined in our study as displacement of 2 mm at the transducer site is not identical to the definition of a similar failure gap displacement by previous authors [ 6, 13].
(1) Precise measurement of vertebral height, disc height, posteroanterior displacement and dens atlas gap from lateral radiographic views of the cervical spine.
Some important factors affecting the behavior of this motor are studied, including structure design, amplitude of input voltage, phase displacement, exciting frequency, gap between beam tip and rotor, and contact phenomena.
