Sentence examples for weakening processes from inspiring English sources

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.

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.

Lastly, if you lean on the door long enough, it can give way spontaneously (through environmentally assisted weakening processes).

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

The models include transport of heat and pore fluid within fault zones, microscopic weakening processes that have been observed in laboratory experiments, and inelastic deformation of the off-fault material.

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).

Under cyclic loading, the material weakening process in structural members inevitably involves multiple cracking originating from some of these spatially-distributed initial imperfections, and therefore diverse cracking behaviors are expected.

We have developed an in-vitro model to study the fetal membrane weakening process that leads to rupture in preterm premature rupture of the fetal membranes (pPROM).

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.
