Sentence examples for slow deformation from inspiring English sources

The ram velocity for all the tests was set at 0.2 mm/s to allow slow deformation of the concrete and the steel strips.

We evaluate the significance of these mechanisms in the formation of the shear zone under an intraplate strike-slip fault with slow deformation.

After the combined effects of temperature and slow deformation, the steel 10XN3MD structure completely loses its original martensitic-bainitic structure, which turns into a ferrite-carbide mixture of ferrite grains, elongated in the direction of the load (Fig. 4b).

In contrast to the BFRs, foliated and non-foliated cataclasites do not exhibit significant geochemical anomalies, suggesting that they were formed by slow deformation without large frictional heat or large-scale fluid flow.

The structure of the coarse-grained region after the combined effects of temperature and slow deformation is tempered coarse-grained martensite with the cracks along the boundaries and triple junctions of grain (Fig. 4e).

We consider an additional effect that further resistance may be offered by the slow deformation of the deposited polymer mass that must move away from the catalyst surface where it is formed.

Furthermore, we show that these rigid membranes are optimal to resist slow deformations with minimum energy dissipation; their optimized stability might be exploited to design soft technological microsystems with an encoded mechanics, vesicles or capsules for instance, useful beyond classical applications as model biophysical systems.

However, the peak speed of the decreasing deformation period (peak deformation recovery speed) was different across conditions: 0.11 mm/ms for the human cornea, 0.21 for the untreated and Riboflavin porcine corneas, and 0.12 for the UV-cross-linked corneas, indicating a much slower deformation recovery after UV-cross-linking.

Two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of tearing and reconnection onset under conditions of slow tail deformation indicate a sharp boundary between stable and unstable cases, dependent on the deformation amplitude and ion/electron mass ratio (Liu et al. 2014).

Fitting a linear function with a spontaneous offset to slow transient deformation causes the episodic displacement to be underestimated.

This coastal cliff section is undergoing slow gravitational deformation, assumed to take place along the clay layers.
