Sentence examples for traction loading from inspiring English sources

It is also found that the horizontal shear surface wave speed provides the limiting velocity for the propagation of a Mode-III crack in a magneto-electro-elastic solid when there is only applied traction loading.

The approach taken here is to use the elasticity solution of Pagano and Srinivas and Rao for surface traction loading of a layered, orthotropic simply supported body, and to vary the pressure distribution iteratively to achieve the best fit between the calculated surface displacements and the indentor profile.

The present model is implemented numerically in a finite element program where a three-dimensional thin-sheet (butterfly) specimen is subjected to a combination of shear and traction loading conditions in order to examine the effect of stress triaxiality and shearing upon material failure.

Surface stress effects also result in unexpected rise of adhesive forces near the loading perimeter, although the traction loads are purely tangential.

Terrace remnants of late Pleistocene fine-grained valley-fill deposits (Silts) deeply entrenched by ephemeral traction load streams in arid areas remain a puzzle.

Differently from previous contributions in the literature, here the tethers are assumed to be elastic and to transfer traction loads only.

The accuracy of traction loads calculated using the modified model compare favourably against experimental loads measured for fibrous z-pins in carbon epoxy laminate.

The methodology specifically concentrates on traction loads and includes the development of combined equivalent circuits for the harmonic sources for evaluating their impact on power quality.

The computed stress field was transferred to a DBEM environment and superimposed to the stress field produced by a remote fatigue traction load applied on a notched specimen.

Traction systems are usually supplied from dedicated utility networks in order to minimise the negative effects that traction loads have on conventional three phase loads, particularly in instances where customer equipment may be sensitive to the quality of supply.

Experimental testing and mechanical modelling reveals that both the mode I fracture toughness and fatigue resistance increase with the z-pin length due to increased bridging traction loads generated by elastic stretching and pull-out of the pins.
