A decrease in the b-values before the mainshocks corresponds to the predominance of long wavelengths, relatively large stress levels, and is caused by the stress accumulation process before the earthquake.
The Rhine Graben tectonics yields large differential stress levels and favors therefore the existence of large fault and fracture systems.
There is a significant energy dissipation when the stress amplitude in relation to greatest applied compressive stress is large, regardless of stress level.
Simulation of indentation test revealed that the apparent hardness could be larger by up to 33% with the residual stress level as large as the yield strength.
The four viscoelastic parameters have the largest differences when the stress level is at the intermediate load level of 0.5 MPa, but the responses of the different gradation asphalt mixture to the stress level are different.
The proportion of participants with symptoms of burnout and/or ED was larger among those who reported stress level 3, compared to those reporting stress level 2 for both women (p < 0,05) and men (p < 0,05).Symptoms of burnout and ED as well as anxiety were significant more common among women than among men, at stress level 3 (p < 0,05).
This suggests a large difference between the strength and the dynamic stress level in the large slip area and a small difference in the small slip area if the final stress level is equal to the dynamic stress level.
Figure 4c indicates, however, that earthquakes in this area had larger values of stress drop, suggesting that the difference between the shear strength and the dynamic stress level is large in this area.
With sandwich walls, the hierarchical square lattice panels are light but render ideal complete stress strain curves with high compression strengths, stable displacement plateau at a relative high stress level and large densification strain in experiments.
Furthermore, regarding the effect of fullerene size on the compressive response, it is found that for a given stress level, specimens with larger fullerenes exhibit higher energy absorbing capacity.
