Under these conditions, we found large stress drop in the shallower parts and minimum strength excess at the free surface.
At solar-cycle minimum, the toroidal field is, correspondingly, at minimum strength, sunspots are relatively rare, and the poloidal field is at its maximum strength.
At minimum, strength of evidence grades take into account the number and severity of limitations in risk of bias, consistency, directness, and precision.
The electrode was placed near the end of the muscle and the stimulus was set at 1.5x the minimum strength necessary to elicit maximal muscle contraction.
Defense Department investigators tested a sample of the cable and found that it broke at roughly two-thirds of the minimum strength required by military specifications.
That afternoon, he and other engineers were stunned to learn of new tests at a NASA laboratory showing that a ring attaching the rocket boosters to the external tank had not met minimum strength requirements.
At solar-cycle maximum, the external poloidal dipolar magnetic field is near its dynamo-cycle minimum strength, but an internal toroidal quadrupolar field, generated through differential rotation within the tachocline, is near its maximum strength.
For strain rates greater than 2.00 × 10− 3 s− 1, as the moisture content increases, the strength first decreases to a minimum value, then increases to a maximum value, and finally decreases toward that the ice strength; the minimum strengths are not always less than the ice strength, and the maximum strengths are not also always greater than the strengths at the optimum dry densities.
Our results show significant elastic stiffening for intermediate angles between 38.9° and 112.9°, as well as a minimum in tensile strength at a critical cone angle, due to the competition between weak van-der-Waals forces between layers and strong strengthening mechanisms from surface bonds introduced during thermal treatment.
