Sentence examples for multiple shear cracks from inspiring English sources
Compared to the NP1F0 specimen having no steel fibers, the HP1F1 specimen with steel fibers exhibited low magnitudes of openings and slips at a similar strain level by forming multiple shear cracks, which means that the steel fibers were very effective for crack control.
The schematic configuration shown in Fig. 9 is representative of a multiple-shear-crack pattern.
In the present article, new equations are proposed to calculate FRP effective width assuming a multiple-shear-crack pattern in RC beams strengthened in shear using EB FRP.
With a multiple-line cracking pattern, the anchorage lengths of the FRP fibres cannot be calculated using the proposed equations for a single-line crack pattern because in a multiple-shear-crack pattern, there are several irregular intersections of fibres.
It was found that controlling both the initiation and propagation of a shear crack can significantly stabilize the plastic deformation of Ti-based MG by forming multiple shear bands and delaying the shear crack from reaching the critical crack length.
The shear breaking creates two kinds of crack, shear cracks and tensile cracks.
The failure mode comprised longitudinal bending main crack, bending wrinkling cracks and shear cracks.
In addition, flexural cracks healed better, helping recover the properties of beams with predominantly flexural cracks rather than shear cracks.
In parallel with the increase of loading, shear cracks arose.
When the stress build-up is relieved, tension cracks or shear cracks may result (Emmons 1994).
This suggests that the HPFRCC was effective in bridging shear cracks to control the crack widths.
