Sentence examples for intact material from inspiring English sources
The reason is that the level of nonlinearity is greater in damaged than in intact material.
Her focus is improving biodegradable plastics, which now degrade slowly — and what's left can be more harmful to ecosystems than the intact material.
The initiation and extension of the ductile fracture reduces the punching shear resistance of the remaining intact material.
An irreversible cohesive law models the internal crack nucleation and opening process, and the elastodynamic states of the intact material are calculated using the method of characteristics.
The macroscopic behavior of an SRM sample depends on both the creation of new fractures through intact material and slip/opening of pre-existing joints.
This technique uses the bonded particle model for rock to represent intact material and the smooth-joint contact model (SJM) to represent the in situ joint network.
Fracturing is represented explicitly as broken bonds, which form and coalesce into macroscopic fracture of intact materials such as rocks.

When the inclination angle is close to the failure angle of the corresponding intact rock material, and the ligament length is not long (such as L ⩽ 2a), the direct shear coalescence is the more favorable coalescence pattern.
Though comet hunter Eugene Shoemaker estimated that in Earth's early history only a few percent of comets or asteroids arrived at low enough angles, the bombardment would have been heavy enough to deliver a significant amount of intact organic material and water, according to Blank's estimates.
