Sentence examples for locations of plastic from inspiring English sources

The locations of plastic hinges are also predicted quite satisfactorily by ET analysis.

It includes graphical checking of the structural model, mode shapes, deformations, extents and locations of plastic hinges, plotting of nodal velocity, acceleration, and energy distribution time histories.

A framed structure with multiple potential locations of plastic hinges and multiple failure sequences is analyzed to illustrate the proposed method.

The locations of plastic hinges in the failure mechanism of top- and seat-angle connections assumed by three-parameter power model (Kishi and Chen 1990) are revised based on the deformation patterns of the connections reproduced by FE analyses (Ahmed et al. 2001; Ahmed 2002; Pirmoz et al. 2009) and experiments (Azizinamini et al. 1985; Harper 1990).

Confirming about the applicability of FE analysis model, the locations of plastic hinges at the ultimate state and the effects of prying force developing on the back of the top angle's vertical leg is investigated at the different loading levels of top- and seat-angle connection.

Tom Baty, an avid fisherman and a retiree, spends up to three hours a day walking the beaches of Point Reyes National Seashore in California, where he picks up trash and sometimes tracks the location of plastic debris with a GPS device.

As indicated in Fig. 4, the numerical model has accurately estimated the location of plastic hinge.

While the original geometric and material properties were nominally the same for each column, the location of plastic hinge and nature of damage were different because of different loading conditions.

It was also observed that the substitution of rotational friction dampers at the location of plastic hinges resulted in enhanced ductility and reduced probability of failure when the structures were subjected to design level seismic load.

Then, the location of plastic hinges in connection assemblages was investigated at the ultimate state of the connection and a parametric study was performed varying connection parameters, material properties of connection assemblages, and magnitude of bolt pretension to visualize their effects on prying force and on the position of prying force on top angle's vertical leg.

In the seismic design of steel frames, beam-to-column joints are generally designed as full strength joints in order to avoid their engagement in the plastic range promoting the location of plastic hinges at the ends of the connected beams.
