The macroscopic slip rule is found to exhibit a weak non-associativity in the tangential plane, although the slip rule at the microscale is associated in the tangential plane.
Load-displacement data from displacement hold tests, in both experiment and simulation, have enabled determination of the rate-dependent slip rule within the crystal plasticity model.
Under the blue slip rule, both senators from a nominee's state must give approval before a nomination can get a hearing.
"The blue slip rule for judicial nominees has been more problematic than the filibuster because it can act as a silent, unaccountable veto," Schultz said.
The White House can't just push through its preferred Democratic nominees thanks, at least in part, to the "blue slip" rule in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
He's under pressure from conservatives to do away with the committee's "blue slip" rule, which requires both senators from a nominee's home state to turn in blue slips of paper in order for the nominee to get a hearing.
The rules change will not lead to an immediate flood of judges, however, as Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt)., chairman of the Judiciary Committee, observes what's known as the "blue slip rule," a tradition in the committee that allows senators to advance or block judicial nominees from their home state.
The adopted cross-slip rules are derived from atomistic simulations, implemented in the DD code using a kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm.
The blue-slip rule does not have the force of law; it's simply a custom that has been honored over time.
Notably, when Patrick Leahy, the Vermont Democrat, was the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, during the Obama Administration, he followed the blue-slip rule in states where there were Republican senators.
