Sentence examples for stiff edges from inspiring English sources

The significant reduction in displacement and acceleration responses at CM, at flexible and stiff edges as well as torsional responses is observed with dampers and the NLVDs are found to be little more effective than LVDs.

It is demonstrated that the CMP procedure is able to take into account the higher mode influences as well as amplification or de-amplification of seismic displacements at the flexible and stiff edges of unsymmetric-plan tall buildings.

Control force of damper installed at stiff edge of building.

Displacement and acceleration at stiff edge of building.

The stiff edge of the domain will prevent the tip from indenting into the compliant PB-rich region.

The similar trends are also observed for stiff edge acceleration, ü ys for the laterally stiff system ( T y Open image in new window = 0.5).

Hence, by ignoring the effects of torsional coupling, control forces at stiff edge, F ds, will be overestimated and at flexible edge, F df, it will be underestimated as compared to the corresponding symmetric systems.

The ratio, e d / r Open image in new window is varied from negative extreme (i.e. all dampers are located at flexible edge of building) to positive extreme (i.e. all dampers are located at stiff edge of building).

Thus, by neglecting the eccentricity for torsionally flexible systems, the control forces at flexible edge, will be overestimated and at stiff edge, that will be underestimated as compared to corresponding symmetric systems.

Further, from the average trend, it is observed that the ratio, R t, for stiff edge displacement, u ys, decreases and remains less than unity with increase in e x /r.

For laterally stiff systems, location of CD on the same side of CR leads to higher reduction in stiff edge displacement and acceleration and CD is on the opposite side of CR leads to the higher reduction in flexible edge displacement and acceleration.
