Sentence examples for softening surface from inspiring English sources

The higher potential for interior crack nucleation at higher temperature was ascribed to matrix softening, surface oxidation and surface compressive residual stress.

The canisters are welded with an innovative "friction stir" technique that softens surfaces to be joined without weakening them by melting.

This could explain the dry and sound (hard) condition of EM as opposed to the wet condition and softened surfaces observed on the WM.

Hence, the occlusal/incisal substance loss observed in individuals prone to dietary acids may be explained as pronounced abrasion/demastication of acid softened surfaces.

In the case of erosion, tissue loss is on one hand caused by direct dissolution of mineral but also due to an increased susceptibility of acid softened surfaces to physical wear.

The sun had been busy, softening the surface of the snowpack.

To be able to model the softening effects, a yield surface based on multiple hardening variables is introduced.

Here we report the first experimental proof that exposure to water softens the surface of polystyrene Petri dishes.

In the soil and agricultural sciences, infiltration improvement usually involves cultivation to soften the surface soils.

These analyses clearly show that caution is needed when transferring the constitutive models associated with void growth and ductile damage in usual metallic materials to bulk metallic glasses, largely because of the different deformation modes in bulk metallic glasses resulting from the pressure dependency of the yield surface and intrinsic softening behavior.

Further, these acids can dramatically reduce the dentin surfaces' ability to resist abrasive forces due to surface softening [ 10, 105, 139, 140] resulting in further dentin removal and wider open dentin tubules.
