Sentence examples for weakening process from inspiring English sources

We also consider slip-dependent stress accumulation on patches prior to the weakening process.

An understanding of both features is important in explaining the consequent weakening process.

Stress accumulation on patches (e.g., strengthening process) prior to the weakening process depends on the patch size.

The weakening process after the peak stress is reached accelerates the fault slip (i.e., reduces the slip deficit).

According to Eq. (4), the peak strength (tau = Delta tau) at the turning point from the strengthening to the weakening process does not vary with patch size.

Essentially, the shear stress decreases during an earthquake (weakening process) and increases during the interseismic period (strengthening) of the seismic cycle.

Ohnaka (2003) found a linear scaling relationship between the distances of the strengthening and weakening processes, demonstrating that this one-parameter description is a good approximation.

Thermal expansion and contraction as well as water percolation after each rainfall were found as major weakening processes of the system tile mortar substrate.

Such scaling is known for the nucleation and the dynamic process of earthquakes (Aochi and Ide 2004 and references therein), which is important for understanding both the loading and weakening processes of aseismic slip.

This might partially explain why researchers have yet to settle the actual realization of some Min sounds that have undergone diachronic or synchronic weakening processes, including /dz/ (Ang 洪惟仁 2003, 2012), /l/ [e.g., Ang 洪惟仁 (2012); Yang 楊秀芳 (1982)], and stops in general (Ratte 2009, 2011).

We extend the fractal patch model previously developed for explaining the coseismic phase of earthquake dynamics (Aochi and Ide 2004, 2009; Ide and Aochi 2005) by allowing aseismic slip prior to the slip-weakening process.
