The sinusoidal DCBs induce intermittent crack extension that resembles "stick slip" conditions with slow (stable) crack propagation and fast (unstable) crack propagation.
This paper presents a heuristic algorithm to implement a model predictive controller for systems with binary inputs in which the effect of the control signal on the response partially vanishes before reaching steady state, for example systems that exhibit both fast and slow stable dynamics.
While additional focal point studies are necessary to formalize when each locomotor mode is used, initial observations indicate that the diversity of locomotor modes facilitates slow, stable locomotion when feeding and fast, acrobatic locomotion when escaping large waves or competing for resources.
The former is steeped in a slow, stable, structured world of processes and hierarchies.
Moreover, the Ethacure E300 materials showed crack growth when the strain energy density in the sample was low, and a period of slow stable crack advance.
Once you've fallen into a slow, stable routine, you may even end up hanging out a bit more, but if you start asking her to hang out every day after you've just met, she may feel overwhelmed and will back away.
Thereafter, adsorption became very slow and stable, approaching an equilibrium stage and maximum adsorption, i.e., a plateau profile.
The results presented here demonstrate an ability to separately control the rate of mass diffusion and the rate of thermal diffusion in particle compacts and thereby produce slow and stable self-propagating formation reactions.
From the disc-bending tests it was observed that both conditions were macroscopically brittle both at low and high temperatures, with slow and stable crack propagation in the inter-splat region.
For example, we anticipate that a slow and stable release of growth factors, cytokines and other remodeling factors could be used to modulate the natural course of tissue repair.
