Sentence examples for may cause expansion from inspiring English sources

External sulfate attack is a progressive degradation process that may cause expansion, cracking, loss of binder cohesion and increased permeability in cementitious materials.

The reaction products consisted mostly of sodium aluminium sulfate [Na3Al SO4 3] and/or langbeinite [K2Mg2 SO4 3] which may cause expansion in this type of concrete particularly at the edge of the samples.

We showed earlier the presence of superparamagnetic magnetite in iron granules formed in honeybees, and subscribed to the notion that external magnetic fields may cause expansion or contraction of the superparamagnetic particles in an orientation-specific manner, relaying the signal via cytoskeleton (Hsu and Li 1994).

ATP and its Board of Directors believe that demand for RST-PAL pallets may cause expansion plans to be reviewed and changed, assuming demand will be high.

Comparisons of TP concentration in cattails (1,503 mg/kg) to that in sawgrass (727 mg/kg) provide further evidence that, under the right conditions, post-fire, available TP releases may cause cattail expansion (Miao et al.2001, Smith and Newman2001).

The shift in the diffraction lines might be attributed to the larger radius of the dopant ion, compared to the ionic radius of the Li+, which may cause an expansion of the lattice parameters in the Sb3+-doped lithium silicate nanomaterials.
