And when Balmond's office sent oma a crosshatched image showing which parts of the loop would bear maximum stress loads, Koolhaas appropriated the diagram as the design motif for the building's façade.
It is the aim of this work to define the maximum stress loads for the tissue under different forces, different angles, and different velocities of impact.
In order to achieve this, SN-curves for fatigue damage initiation are normalized by dividing the maximum stress per load cycle by the static strength.
The fatigue behaviour of a high-strength concrete was investigated within a research project with respect to the influence of maximum stress level, loading frequency and waveform.
Bending and torsional loads predominate in vertebrate limb bones [42] [47] and we accordingly evaluated structural characteristics related to bending and torsional strength, taking bone strength as inversely related to maximum stress under loading.
Many factors make it virtually impossible to determine with the required accuracy either the maximum stress or the load capability of the structure.
Also the goal of maximizing strength of a structure should, to the authors mind, be in the form of minimizing the maximum stress under all load cases.
A new two-parameter, energy-based approach is defined to account for the R-ratio effects, which combines the specific heat loss and the thermoelastic temperature corresponding to the maximum stress of the load cycle.
Treatment significantly improved the electrical resistance, dry matter, hydroxyproline content, water uptake and water delivery characteristics, of the healing tissue, as well as maximum load, yield load, maximum stress, yield stress and modulus of elasticity of the injured treated tendons compared to those of the control tendons (P < 0.05).
The ratio of minimum to maximum stress during fatigue loading (R-ratio) has been shown to influence subsequent tearing resistance, with an R-ratio of 0.2 generally leading to a greater enhancement in tearing resistance than an R-ratio of 0.1.
