Computational models of cracked composite cylindrical shells are developed by exploiting a special meshing scheme in which the element size is reduced incrementally from the element size employed in the uncracked region by approaching the crack tip.
After each simulation the fusion area in the fracture is reduced incrementally until a predefined stop criterion (Table 1), i.e. 20% of the maximum von Mises stress arising in the current step of the algorithm is reached.
Mr. Buttrick forecast that the airline would reduce flights incrementally, cutting 5percentt at a time as it worked through its schedules.
Generally we can only reduce sentences incrementally, by 10% to 20%," says Novak, "but that can be a year of someone's life".
It is a reasonable strategy that (i) utilizes proven technology; (ii) generates new revenues and reduces the costs; (iii) incrementally adds applications and features.
David Hale, a private economist who runs a consulting firm in Chicago, said European countries should be reducing deficits more incrementally, stretching cuts out over a longer timetable than the Union has set.
First, the size of the clear glazing is incrementally reduced to find the smallest acceptable window-to-wall ratio (WWR).
The CNE-induced revenue curve follows an inverted U-shaped form, and the revenue surplus is incrementally reduced with a lower/higher share of women.
Within the new design concept the membrane energy of a sphere is incrementally reduced by means of perturbation cutouts, until a bending energy dominate state is identified.
We incrementally reduced availability of anthropogenic foods (benefit reduction) and increased energetic costs of movement in response to aversive conditioning treatments (cost increase) to search for thresholds resulting in avoidance of human-dominated patches.
If global problems such as climate change and waste remain unresolved, society can choose either to continue attempting to incrementally reduce wastes and lessen impacts, or to consider a more ambitious approach that paradoxically may be easier to implement.
