It refers to the initial or introductory portion of a sentence or piece of writing. Here is an example of how it could be used: "In the opening mode of his speech, the president addressed the current state of the economy and outlined his plans for improvement."
Particularly attention is here given to crack growth in opening mode in fiber networks.
The molecular level physics during interface separation in opening mode is explained using void dynamics and chain straightening.
In this paper a simple, but effective methodology to simulate opening mode fracture in high performance fibre reinforced concrete is presented.
Two failure modes, i.e., opening mode (Mode I) and sliding mode (Mode II), were considered by applying remote tensile and shear loading, respectively, on the graphene sheet.
The model of this study is compared to the model with opening mode and also the model of single planar fracture approach.
This paper presents an investigation into the strengthening mechanism of installing a channel steel plate at the head of a notch for concrete beams against opening mode fracture failure.
The test and model simulation results indicated that the cohesive zone fracture toughness of in-plane shear mode-II is quite different (approximately three times greater) from opening mode-I fracture toughness.
The HeNB system can be deployed either in Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) mode or Open mode.
In the current round of GATS negotiations, which started in early 2003, Taiwan, China and India have asked Thailand to open mode 4 for some cadres of health professionals [ 21].
