To obtain insights into complicated failure mechanisms, a parameter sensitivity study is carried out to study effects of numerical parameters on failure responses, including element erosions, failure strengths, elasticity modulus, friction properties, etc. Results show that the established model correlates well with experiment on failure modes, impact loads and energy-absorbing characteristics.
The sensitivity of hillslope and fluvial erosion to the strength parameters coupled with the large and oriented strain-related strength variations, cause the topographic evolution to be dominated by tectonically driven rheological behavior at multiple wavelengths.
The enhancement of soil erosion resistance, shear strength, enhancement of soil scour resistance of the soil-root system, and tensile strength of roots increased with the increase of root biomass.
So tough that Mr. Hoyer defines victory in 2010 as including a steep erosion in Democratic strength.
A combination of military pressure, diplomatic isolation and economic leverage "is leading to an erosion of their strength," Mr. Regev said.
Wet strength, erosion resistance and shrinkage properties were assessed and appropriate guidelines are proposed to ensure the durability of CSRE.
Representative Thomas M. Davis III of Virginia, the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee and one of the party's most knowledgeable political observers, contends that while his party is seeing erosion of its strength in some suburbs, it is not nationwide.
The result is what appears to others as ad hoc exercises of our power that, Greider argues, will inevitably lead to perceptions of American empire building, resentment and, as with the British in the 19th century, hubris and erosion of our strength.
Special attention is paid to the comparison between the ultimate strength erosion, stemming from L D interaction, exhibited by web-stiffened and plain lipped channel columns (the latter were studied earlier by the authors).
Special attention is paid to the comparison between the ultimate strength erosion, due to L-D interaction, occurring in the columns analysed in this work and the (i) "plain" cross-section (i.e., without intermediate stiffeners) and (ii) web-stiffened lipped columns investigated earlier by the authors.
