Sentence examples for small stresses from inspiring English sources

For relatively small stresses, stress is proportional to strain.

For small stresses, the strain is elastic (recoverable when the stress is removed and linearly proportional to the applied stress).

Dr. van der Elst suggested that small stresses from the passing seismic waves in effect "squeezed" the rocks at the injection sites, raising the pressure past the tipping point so that the faults slip and the earth shakes.

For small stresses and weak electric fields, piezoceramics are usually described by linearized constitutive equations around an operating point.

With deformation limited to 4%, to allow a complete shape recovery by SMA, the wing appears capable to smoothly deform, with small stresses.

We observed that, at small stresses elastic and viscous moduli showed a steady rise with the elastic modulus increasing at a faster rate than the viscous modulus.

(ii) Cracking of the thermally grown oxide (TGO) occurs within buckles having high ellipticity, subject to a flexural strength typical of fine-grained Al2O3, with small stressed volume.

Ingenuity--a departure from the norm--is not afforded to small, stressed populations; instead they stick to what has worked.

det1 mutants are small, stressed plants.

The response of these tests at the smaller stresses studied (below critical shear stress of 3.6 Pa) was controlled by non-linear viscoelasticity.

Parallel-sided dowel and cores with a length of 12 mm distributed the stress widely in the restoration and dentin, resulting in the smallest stresses.
