Sentence examples for initiates failure from inspiring English sources

Conditions for failure and deformation include the presence of weak layer(s) that serve as a detachment surface, competency contrasts that allow for detachment and downslope movement, deformation above a detachment surface, and a triggering mechanism(s) that initiates failure.

Subsequently, a 25% higher load is required to initiate failure.

Laminated composite is weak in transverse shear and may initiate failure at any inner lamina.

Once initiated, failure can progress to completion quite dramatically in less than a second.

The notched coupon was designed to reduce the effects of edge initiated failure and produce the desired tensile failure.

In this paper, a new failure theory for laminated composite based on initiating failure mechanism is presented.

The equations are based on the concept 'conditional individual probability of initiating failure' characterising a single flaw given that it is in the stressed component.

The mechanisms that initiate failure are discussed in the context of the stress and strain profiles near this interface in combination with data from other joint configurations.

The equation avoids conservative predictions related to the probability of locally initiated failure and is a powerful alternative to existing approaches.

Thermal modelling showed that thermally induced stresses in the pillar were adequate to elevate the pillar stresses above the stress magnitude required to initiate failure.

The angle and height of the protrusion are found to significantly affect the stress concentrations around the protrusion which initiate failure.
