Sentence examples for macroscopic strength of from inspiring English sources

The influence of an interphase region on the macroscopic strength of unidirectional fiber-reinforced metal-matrix composites (MMCs) is investigated.

This way, the proposed method provides a direct numerical approach to evaluate the macroscopic strength of heterogeneous structures as a useful tool for the design of structures.

This phenomenon, usually referred to as subcritical crack growth, or static fatigue, implies that the macroscopic strength of glass depends upon the characteristic duration of the applied loads.

The results show that both interfaces with low fracture toughness and microvoids with even small void volume fraction can significantly reduce the macroscopic strength of composite.

This allows to correlate the expected macroscopic strength of glass, measured from testing the prototype, with the target probability of failure, for any type of size and load history.

A nonlinear mathematical programming approach together with the finite element method and homogenization technique is developed to implement kinematic limit analysis for a microstructure and the macroscopic strength of a composite with anisotropic constituents can be directly calculated.

The analysis presented suggests that there exists an optimum ratio of macroscopic strength to elastic modulus for improving energy dissipation under tension.

In the first part of this work (Bleyer and de Buhan, 2014), the determination of the macroscopic strength criterion of periodic thin plates has been addressed by means of the yield design homogenization theory and its associated numerical procedures.

The model is applied to the numerical identification of the macroscopic strength properties of MMCs under uni-, bi- and triaxial stresses, in cases where the theoretical bounds are not sufficiently close to identify the actual macroscopic yield surface.

The macroscopic strength properties of masonry walls with joints of finite thickness subjected to out-of-plane loads are estimated following an approach similar to the so-called Method of Cells for fiber-reinforced composites.

Upper bounds to the macroscopic strength domain of the wall in the space of the macroscopic bending and twisting moments are obtained by applying the kinematic theorem of limit analysis within the framework of homogenization theory for periodic media.
