Sentences with phrase «tensile stresses»

The strong covalent and H - bonds within and among the cellulose molecules and fibrils are able to resist high tensile stresses, which is why people have used wood as a building material throughout history.
Focal adhesions transmit tensile stresses from the extracellular space to the cytoskeleton, thereby converting force cues into biochemical signals that regulate cell functions [6].....
Tensile stresses, which exist in the tail and interior of the drop, tend to propagate cracks, but the overlying compressive stress in the head suppresses them.
«The computer simulation of chewing forces creates high tensile stresses exactly in the cervical areas where we frequently find tooth lesions in our teeth», reconsiders Stefano Benazzi of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, who carried out the Finite Element Analysis.
The stress in the teeth with advanced wear shows a far better distribution of the loads over the whole tooth crown, so that the tensile stresses will be remarkably reduced.
The tensile strength of a material is the maximum amount of tensile stress that it can be subjected to before failure.
In both tensile and compression stress simulations, the surprising finding was that as the grain size got smaller, the hydrates first got stronger, able to tolerate both compression and tensile stress — but only until they reached a certain grain size.
Atomistic simulations indicate that the presence of stacking faults results in an inhomogeneous stress distribution within the nanowires due to the change in the sign of stress fields on the two sides of stacking faults (i.e. compressive stress on one side and tensile stress on the other side).
Iceberg capsize releases gravitational potential energy and increases tensile stress on the ice shelf.
The tensile strength of a material is the maximum amount of tensile stress that it can take before failure, for example breaking.»

Not exact matches

The indirect stress ratio Δh / λch suggests that the differential stress accumulated in Campi Flegrei's crust is about four times its tensile strength (Fig. 5) and so is approaching the transition from quasi-elastic to inelastic deformation regimes.
Piano strings are high - tensile steel wires (some in the bass range are also wrapped in copper wiring); the total pulling stress over the whole set of strings inside a piano is equal to roughly 35,000 pounds.
Applied knowledge of tests including the ultimate tensile strength and strain tests to determine the maximum stress a material can withstand
