Sentence examples for flexible edges from inspiring English sources
The flexible edges of the sclerites of burrowing centipedes (Geophilomorpha) enable them to change their shape in an earthwormlike manner while preserving a complete armour of surface sclerites at all times.
According to the nonlinear static and dynamic analysis results, the structure with hysteretic dampers installed in accordance with the proposed procedure showed satisfactory inter-story drifts in both the stiff and the flexible edges when they were subjected to the design level seismic load.
Consequently, for accurate estimation of the maximum drift demands of plan-asymmetric buildings, it is proposed that the drift responses obtained from the RSA for the stiff and flexible edges of the building be utilized to construct two lateral-torsional load patterns for nonlinear static analyses.

This may cause progressive shifting of stiffness and strength centres away from this flexible edge, leading to consequent increase of effective eccentricity in successive loading cycles.
As expected, and due to the mass eccentricity (20% of its plan length), high concentration of deformations in the flexible edge of the structure without AASD was observed.
The alphabet was fundamentally uncomplicated; letters sloped 35 to 40 degrees to the right, and thick lines were produced on the downstrokes of capitals and minuscules through pressure applied on a flexible, edged (i.e., not pointed) nib.
The combined torsional effects by structural asymmetry and foundation rotation are represented by means of an effective eccentricity that is consistent with the peak dynamic displacement at the flexible edge of the building.
