Sentence examples for strengthened element from inspiring English sources

Strip width and spacing have a firsthand effect on the mechanical behavior of the strengthened element.

In design, in order to simplify the calculations, the strengthened element is usually assumed monolithic but, in many cases, this assumption is not conservative as interface slip is a critical parameter that affects the level of damage to a strengthened element.

In fact, an increase of the external reinforcement area does not always lead to the expected increase of the beam load capacity, due to the interaction of flexural and shear behaviour within the discontinuity regions of the strengthened element.

The paper therefore concludes by highlighting some areas where new investigations could provide important insights into the structural behaviour of strengthened elements.

Although failure of FRCM strengthened elements depends on different parameters, such as the composite and substrate geometrical and mechanical properties, debonding at the matrix-fiber interface is generally the failure mechanism.

The objectives of the experimental program were to: (a) provide a better understanding of the effectiveness of shear reinforcement offered by the addition of FRCM; (b) analyze the failure modes experienced by FRCM strengthened elements; and, (c) investigate the FRCM load transfer mechanism.

Moreover, it is possible that the intervention maintained and strengthened elements of the sick role, instead of enhancing the role as a capable job seeker.

Each wheel has 36 spokes, rather than the standard 32, another strengthening element.

Cinnamaldehyde appeared as the most effective antimicrobial; otherwise, eugenol acted as a strengthening element and allowed a reduction of cinnamaldehyde amount in the system.

Another structural strengthening element such as calcium in Table 7 dominating mineral has also pointed out significant release of this element from the soil matrix by activating the redox potential through intrusion of soil biota (Mansfeldt 2004).

The stiffness of the structural adhesive used, together with the geometry of the GFRP strengthening element, have a major influence on the structural response of the composite beams.
