A challenging aspect for numerical simulations is anticipating the behaviour of advanced materials such as polymers and composites, demonstrating, i. a., anisotropy, heterogeneity and time-dependent properties as well as non-trivial damage and fracture scenarios.
The perception was that failing at trivial challenges might damage the credibility of a serious journalist or actor.
Officials can fulminate or brazen it out, arguing by turns that the material involved is trivial or deeply damaging.
In April, the EU justice commissioner, Viviane Reding, warned that crossborder pursuits of bicycle thieves, piglet rustlers and those accused of trivial offences was damaging the authority of the European arrest warrant (EAW).

Sticky toes are a trivial problem compared with the damage done since the Prestige sank on Nov. 19.
This surprising time-effect is experimentally confirmed, showing that the trivial assumption of steady-state damage evolution is strongly non-conservative.
The repair of composite structures is far from a trivial exercise; the degree of damage must be assessed and a repair scheme "designed" and implemented in the shortest possible time.
