Sentence examples for high deflection from inspiring English sources

The NSM-GFRP strengthened beam, however, showed good ductile behavior with high deflection values at ultimate load.

"The value of electrically active paper is that it's lightweight and has a high deflection [movement] at low voltage" compared to traditional electroactive polymers, says Sang Choi, senior research scientist at the NASA Langley Research Center.

The causes of high deflection under elevated water and earth pressure and local buckling incidents are investigated by the finite element method.

The limb should be lightweight and permit a high deflection of the beam's tip in order to achieve a good ballistic performance.

Two main remedial schemes are proposed: one is to increase the wall thickness of the pipe, and the other is to install stiffening ribs on the pipe where high deflection occurs.

The test and analytical results established the feasibility of attaining a type of ECC composite material with high deflection capacity, multi-cracking behaviour and small crack width (0.05 mm), which is suitable for the application of link slab in bridge deck system.

At termination of the tests, the beams reached very high deflections (about span/5), even then failure of the assemblies always occurred in the joints.

Unlike carbon and glass FRP retrofitting the beams did not undergo any sudden debonding, or delamination or FRP rupture and depicted a complete ductile failure mode with high deflections.

Based on the results of the structural systems used in this study, model frame with span length to story height ratio of approximately 2 seems to maintain both performance and economy, while the ratio higher than 2.5 can result in relatively high deflections and high element plastic rotations in lower stories under infrequent earthquake loads which render the frame seismically vulnerable.

Because of the interactions between high deflections, thermal expansion and material weakening at high temperatures, connections are subject to considerable variation of both normal forces and moments in fire, so that it is insufficient to represent their behaviour simply in the moment rotation terms which are usually adequate at ambient temperature.

After Mats Sundin's backhander tied it, Clark put the Maple Leafs ahead with a waist-high deflection of Tomas Kaberle's shot.
