Sentence examples for maximum compression stress from inspiring English sources

Here Smin is the maximum compression stress and So is the compression strength.

Local buckling verification was made at the maximum compression stress locations in legs, and at leg-sphere intersection sections.

The compression test was performed, showing that the maximum compression stress reached 1078 MPa and the accumulated strain was about 0.32.

The results allowed the average maximum compression stress of the concrete to be calculated by f cm  = 24.1 MPa, which represents, accordingly to Eurocode 2 (Eurocode 2 (EC2) 1992), a C20/25 concrete.

It is revealed that pre-formed corrosion pits act as favourable surface sites to which shear bands are linked and most likely nucleate, which leads to a slight reduction in the maximum compression stress.

The effect of initial stress on the maximum compression residual stress was far larger when initial stress was considered in case of a thickness of 25 mm with a value of 180 MPa, while in case of thickness at 70 mm, it was 200 MPa.

However, if initial stress was tensile, there was no significant change in the maximum compression residual stress.

Most of ϕ show the orientation of NW-SE or WNW-ESE and are parallel to the axis of maximum horizontal compression stress as reported by Ando (1979) or the axis of maximum horizontal compression strain rate estimated from continuous GPS data (Sagiya et al., 2000) as shown in Fig. 1, indicating stress induced anisotropy.

In particular, it is shown there is an important interplay between the depth of the maximum compression, the stress gradient and the magnitude of the maximum compressive stress.

It is found that, with increasing confinement, the orientation of the macroscopic failure plane rotates rapidly away from the direction of maximum compression until the confining stress reaches ∼1% of the maximum compressive stress, and then, under higher confinement, remains within the range of orientations generally attributed to Coulombic faulting.

The derivative of Coulomb failure stress with respect to the angle between the faults and the maximum compression direction yields the required relation between frictional strength and geometry of the faults and maximum compressive stress axis as given below.
