Nonlinearity in the finite element analysis was incorporated in the form of material nonlinearity of equivalent rock with uniaxial compressive and tensile strength of 12 and 1.2 MPa, respectively.
The report itself is massive, as FERC reports often are, and is based on a 13-month investigation in which the staff collected "more than two terabytes of material, the equivalent of 1.5 million floppy diskettes or 3,341 compact diskettes".
In other companies, cost concerns dominate, and new materials will be less likely to be introduced in a widespread way unless their costs are on a par with or below those of conventional materials for equivalent performance levels.
Once Lauretta's team has collected at least sixty grams of material — equivalent to "about four tablespoons of packed brown sugar," according to DellaGiustina — OSIRIS-REx will close up shop and quietly await the beginning of its journey back to Earth.
The proposed model is based on the definition of equivalent material parameters for the crushing region around the dowel hole.
In this document, a novel approach of equivalent material identification is developed for multi-layered orthotropic structures.
This procedure was crucial to guaranteeing the same amount of starting material and equivalent efficiency of cDNA synthesis from total RNA samples.
The Revenue said it was continuing to analyse the material, the equivalent of more than 200 lorry-loads of printed A4 sheets, but it has already "identified over 100 people who benefit from these structures".
In the case of bulk materials, a maximum value of equivalent plastic strain and hardness is higher for the Berkovich indenter than for the Vickers.
