Example Sentences:
(1) As a consequence of the interaction of these modes encountered in anisotropic materials, the decomposition into hydrostatic and deviatoric modes, and deviatoric mode concepts such as the von Mises effective stress are not appropriate for anisotropic materials in general.
(2) The results of analyses of stem-bone interface stresses and von Mises stresses at the cortical bones indicated that ideal stem design features would be as follows: 1) Sufficient length, with the distal end extending beyond the isthmus region.
(3) The results showed that the Drücker-Prager criterion is a more suitable criterion for describing failure of composite resins due to multi-axial stress states than are the Von Mises criterion and the modified Von Mises criterion.
(4) These people live in the O. M. V. S. (Office de la mise en valeur de la vallée du fleuve Sénégal) project region.
(5) Film 2011's Danny Leigh (joined by the Guardian's Xan Brooks and Variety's Leslie Felperin) will be on hand to take you through a two-day course on the hidden art of mise en scene, the importance of a good script and the craft of editing.
(6) Humphrey Bogart repeatedly turns up his shamus's trenchcoat collar against another satisfyingly intense Hollywood downpour, or drives night-time streets slicked sensually wet and streaked with reflected tail lights – the whole seductive mise en scène of film noir that you can get for free tonight in Peterborough.
(7) The results took into account the vertical deflection and radial displacement of the nodal points and also the deformation diagram and stress distribution (Von Mises comparison) of the three regions studied: nucleus pulposus, annulus fibrosus and the end plate.
(8) Previous light microscopic work in the rat has demonstrated that many dendrites of vagal gastric motoneurons extend beyond the cytoarchitectural boundaries of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV) into the nucleus of the solitary tract (NST), where they overlap with the central terminal field of vagal gastric primary sensory neurons (Shapiro and Miselis, 1985a).
(9) The phase, modeled as a von Mises distribution on a unit circle which is very similar to the normal distribution on the line, is characterized by a mean (mu 0) and a concentration or width parameter (kappa).
(10) Evaluation of mean equivalent Mises tensile stress did not show any difference at the cement-dentin and metal-cement interfaces of the three margins.
(11) With lateral loading, high values of von Mises stresses (18 M Pa) were predicted around the neck of the implant.
(12) The use of a modified von Mises failure criterion suggests that at excessive load levels the most likely location of material failure is at the bone cement-trabecular bone interface immediately distal to the fixation posts.
(13) However, the use of Von Mises' theory for material failure requires that the compressive and tensile strengths be equal, whereas for composite resin the compressive strength values are, on the average, eight times larger than the tensile strength values.
(14) The objective of this study was to investigate the applicability of a modified Von Mises and the Drücker-Prager criterion to describe mechanical failure of composite resin.
(15) The von Mises distribution provides an excellent fit to measured data (p less than 0.01).
(16) The capacity of the mise spleen cells to respond by immune reaction to the red blood cells following adoptive transfer was not disturbed.
(17) While there was poor correspondence between strain gage data and model predictions, there was excellent agreement between the in vitro failure data and the linear model, especially using a von Mises effective strain failure criterion.
(18) Rimington hasn't yet seen the new film of Le Carré's Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy , but to hear her talk, the film's dismal mise-en-scene nails it perfectly.
(19) Contour plots of the resulting Von Mises stresses were used to study the changing stress distribution patterns within the surrounding cortical bone.
(20) Three different approaches are implemented relating bone apparent density to: (1) the von Mises stress, (2) the strain energy density in the mineralized tissue and (3) a defined closed effective stress (spherical stress).
