Sentence examples for multiple cracking criteria from inspiring English sources

To study the multiple cracking process, cracks are identified from digital images.

Flexural properties, multiple cracking potentials, crack properties (by means of number and width) of composites were compared.

Further, in the strain-hardening and multiple cracking stage, cracks with much smaller width compared to the traditional ECC are formed in the low shrinkage ECC.

The dual criteria for multiple cracking provide systematic guidance for designing ECC.

Maintaining the strength criterion for multiple cracking while satisfying first cracking and compressive strength, cost, and workability requirements represents a delicate balance when designing ECC (Li et al. 2001 , 2002.
