Sentence examples for vulnerable to deformation from inspiring English sources

Smaller crystals of rock are more vulnerable to deformation, and the shear stress placed on the rocks during the bending and twisting of subduction tends to metamorphose the rocks and reduce the crystal sizes, increasing their vulnerability.

In addition, the stress adjacent to the coal-rock interface sharply varies in space and evolves with time; coal is much more vulnerable to deformation and failure than rock.

This kind of abrupt change in the mechanical properties may make the membrane vulnerable to deformation with poor definition on the profile of the surface and other adverse influences on its performances.

As it obtains the grain morphologies by utilising X-ray imaging instead of X-ray diffraction, which latter is typically vulnerable to plastic deformation, DAGT is a fairly robust technique for analysing plastically deforming materials.

Since these strata are vulnerable to bulking deformation, the roadway exhibits a poor overall stability.

Water exposure tends to reduce the hardness and increase the fracture resistance of the coating making it more vulnerable to plastic deformation during scratching.

Cementitious coatings have been widely used as fire protection for steel structures, but they are vulnerable to structural deformations or vibrations, which may lead to reduction in their effectiveness and cause severe economic loss in the event of a fire.

Human astrocytes display very long thin processes that cross through several laminae from the pia to the ventricular walls, so called interlaminar processes and are hence vulnerable to shear and deformation forces similar to those that cause diffuse axonal injury in white matter tracks [ 104, 105].

Without elastic deformation, it is possible that hypoparathyroid bone could be vulnerable to structural failure.

"They are vulnerable to exploitation".

"That made him vulnerable to some people.
