Sentence examples for initiation and motion from inspiring English sources

In this paper, we explain the initiation and motion mechanisms using the concept of undrained shearing, although other mechanisms may also exist.

During the field investigations, there was a strong indication that the hydrogeological conditions associated with the landslides controlled the initiation and motion of the landslides.

This study will contribute to an understanding of the mechanism of the initiation and motion of rapid and long runout landslides, especially the key factors controlling the travel distance.

It is very important for the purposes of landslide disaster prevention and mitigation to understand the earthquake triggered mechanism of initiation and motion of rapid and long runout landslides, which can potentially be the deadliest of ground failures.

In this paper, field investigations of some highly damaging landslides caused by the Wenchuan earthquake are introduced first, and followed by data from ring shear tests used to simulate the initiation and motion of one landslide in particular, the Donghekou complex landslide.

We selected Donghekou complex slide as a prototype model for laboratory tests to study the initiation and motion mechanisms of landslides triggered by the Wenchuan earthquake, because the Donghekou complex slide moved for a long distance and showed a high rate of speed.

Considering that the stress level in the simulation test is about 27% of the actual, the initiation mechanism and motion mechanism of the Donghekou complex slide can be qualitatively interpreted.

First, the explicit expressions for the initiation condition and the slip direction and motion direction for the localization interface are derived from discontinuous bifurcation analysis.

Results: Drift, defined as displacement from original head positioning at first data acquisition and before initiation of motion, was negligible (±0.8°).

(See time-and-motion study).

The model is then applied to a real case study of the Humber Estuary, located in the UK, with comparisons being undertaken for different criteria for the initiation of motion, using both deterministic and stochastic approaches for the long term bed level predictions.
