Sentence examples for plastic capacity from inspiring English sources
Because of the 3D geometry of the specimen, the transverse beam is expected to gain plastic capacity with higher vertical displacements.
Sections that can reach the full plastic capacity and maintain it for sufficient rotation are considered applicable for plastic mechanism design, resulting in more economical structural solutions.
The formulation is based on the fully plastic capacity of the pipe as determined by the maximum distorsional energy density yield criterion.
The plastic capacity of the beam is locally reduced by decreasing the depth of the web and reforming the flange to the new beam profile.
Inelasticity is captured through the familiar generalized plastic hinge concept, and a piecewise linear approximation of the nonlinear plastic capacity domain is used to represent the yield condition.
The plastic collapse load can be obtained through limit load analyses, making full use of the plastic capacity of the cross-section and possible redistribution of internal forces after formation of the first hinge.
Our results thus suggest that plastic capacities were, if anything, only marginally affected by directional selection, and that plasticity was largely independent of the respective trait mean.
Our main aim here was to test the hypothesis that directional selection on cold tolerance will interfere with plastic capacities.
Our results indicate that plastic capacities are not always constrained by directional selection (on cold tolerance) and therefore genetic changes in trait means, but may operate independently.
Thus, we found no evidence for an interference of genetic adaptation with plastic capacities (but see [ 52] for an interspecific comparison).
This paper proposes a brace whose strength, plastic deformation capacity remaining after yield and energy absorption capacity under seismic loading can be easily evaluated for performance-based seismic design.
