Sentence examples for minimum crack spacing from inspiring English sources

The minimum crack spacing was increased 15 20% by both increasing strain rate and increasing temperature.

Frosch (1999) also pointed out that the average crack spacing and maximum crack spacing are 1.5 and 2 times the minimum crack spacing, respectively.

Furthermore, the minimum crack spacing in the steady state almost equals the maximum distance from the outermost reinforcement centroid to the surface in the tension side (Eq. (6)).

The key feature of the results is that a minimum crack spacing occurs early in the solidification process and this minimum defines a basic spacing for the crack array.

The partial interaction approach also provides a way of determining, through mechanics, the minimum crack spacing and hence can be used to study the random component of cracking and its influence on member deflection.

When this condition is reached, the crack spacing reaches its minimum, but the crack widths will continue to increase as the tensile stress in the reinforcement increases (i.e., third stage cracking as described by Reis et al. 1964).

Initial cracking load and crack spacing were viewed and the relations between crack spacing and transverse reinforcement spacing were studied.

Cracks propagating with the unique minimum spacing are subject to a period doubling instability that acts to coarsen the crack pattern, which brings the crack spacing close to the minimum energy state for later time.

Crack widths and crack spacing were also recorded.

Figures 9, 10 and 11 show the number of cracks, crack width, and crack spacing of each mixture.

Therefore, the crack width increases while the crack spacing remains constant.
