We show the importance of reliability assessment and long term strains of materials, especially for public constructions where the human and economic repercussions are heavy to bear.
Some of the steps urged by Mr. Rumsfeld to reduce the long-term strain on the troops were included in a confidential memorandum dated July 9 to the service secretaries and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff requesting that they move to "rebalance" the active and reserve components.
Long-term strain study of structures also helps in setting the design limits of similar structures.
The characteristics of instantaneous co-seismic response and its difference with long-term strain accumulation might provide a clue to clarify the mechanism of strain concentration.
To realize the reliable and long-term strain detection, the durability of optical fiber sensors has attracted more and more attention.
These GFRP rebars can fulfill a dual role; reinforcing elements by virtue of their mechanical properties and long-term strain monitoring devices by virtue of the embedded sensors.
Structural studies of deformed samples and investigation of long-term strain recovery demonstrated that the deformation of the neat, non-crosslinked HDPE is completely reversible above the melting point of the crystalline phase, provided that the applied true strain does not exceed e = 1.0 (λ = 2.7).
"In our model, intrinsic mortality leaves resources for descendants, which are more likely to be found in the same local region, increasing long-term strain success".
The report argues that this will put a long-term strain on the ability of developing economies to feed their own people.
Affected individuals typically experience gradual disease progression and require increasing levels of health service and supportive care, which places long-term strain on the individuals and their families.
That such dollars must be borrowed is hardly ideal, adding to the long-term strains on the nation.
