Finally, evolutionary strength domains defined in a dimensionless axial force – bending moment – strain ductility space were developed to investigate how bending moment capacity changes with masonry ductility in compression.
There was another whoosh, followed by a moment of strained silence, everyone's shoulders instinctively hunched, and then a choking gasp that swiftly accelerated into an agonized cry.
After a nationalist Web site was shut down by censors in 2004, one commentator wrote, "Our government is as weak as sheep!" The government permitted nationalism to grow at some moments but strained to control it at others.
The dynamic behaviour of offshore pipeline on aspects of deflection, axial tension, bend moment, stress and strain is estimated in detail.
It may be a bit, um, premature to say so, but Judd Apatow's "Knocked Up" strikes me as an instant classic, a comedy that captures the sexual confusion and moral ambivalence of our moment without straining, pandering or preaching.
Writing in The New York Times, A. O. Scott called this film "an instant classic, a comedy that captures the sexual confusion and moral ambivalence of our moment without straining, pandering or preaching".
