Sentence examples for softening variable from inspiring English sources
An internal softening variable and a dissipation energy function account for the adaptive arrangement of the fibrillar network in the pseudo-hyperelastic model.
The post-peak softening is modeled by an internal scalar, so-called softening variable, whose evolution is governed by a saturation law.
When the softening variable is saturated, the rehardening stage is naturally obtained since the isotropic and kinematic hardening phenomena are still developing.
The distinct irreversible processes are described in terms of two internal variables: an internal hardening variable, associated with accumulated compressive (plastic) strains, and an internal softening variable, linked with accumulated (plastic) shear strains.
Experimental data are used to establish the evolution equation of the stress-softening variable, and the choice of the maximum deformation endured previously by the material as the damage criterion is revealed as questionable.
Several test variables, include softening point, penetration, G∗/sin δ at 64 °C and rotational viscosity at 135 °C of three conventional binders were considered as dependent test factors (responses).
This is partially because the authors of the experimental work presented in Figure 3A express their results in terms of the "percent completion" defined as [3], [12]: <img src="http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/asset?id=info?doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0001998.e022.PNG" class= inline-graphic"/> This variable softens the differences between the predicted values of y in equilibrium (y∞).
For hardening behavior, the failure surface is interpolated between the yield and maximum failure surface based on a damage variable, and for softening behavior, a similar interpolation is performed between the maximum and residual failure surfaces.
Based on continuum mechanics with internal variables of state, a new formulation is proposed, which accounts for nonlinear Zener viscoelasticity and softening.
"Please," she said, softening.
