crack

If you live in a new home and you come across cracks, wait until a year after the home's completion to tend to them, as the lumber needs to dry.

He said the second possible cause for the cracks could be due to the compaction of the fill material for the road.

They divided the sample cities based on whether the arrival of crack cocaine coincided with an above- or below-median increase in the fraction of gun-related suicides.

Torque Lock Structural Systems is the manufacturer and distributor of the patented Torque Lock[TM] Staple, a revolutionary technique used to repair structural cracks on any solid cement based surface.

where [u.sub.I] is the nodal displacement vector, [[alpha].sub.I] is the nodal enriched degree of freedom vector for crack penetration elements, H(x) is the jump function which represents the gap between the crack surfaces, [b.sup.i.sub.I] is the nodal enriched degree of freedom vector for crack tip elements, and [[psi].sub.i] (x) is the crack tip functions which represent the crack tip singularity.

Here, the objective is to develop of an analytical method to calculate the effect of FPZ on shear cracks in RC beam based on the fictitious crack approach.

In this paper, the experiments was conducted to study the effect of time and temperature on the oil shale crack using the oil shale from the open-pit oil shale mine of Fushun, Liaoning province, China.

The larger bend can reduce the crack due to sufficient space or planar behavior at arc having The FE-SEM images of the AAO structures are shown in Fig.

Crack growth analysis using fracture mechanics approach:

Ice shelves do crack naturally, but it is a much slower process.

Several methods have been proposed to calculate the stress intensity factors [K.sub.I] and [K.sub.II] for an oblique crack at the edge of a half-plane [7-12].

Initially, small cracks appeared on the walls along with a leakage from the drain in the office of a senior officer and other rooms but the cracks started increasing day by day.

If the wind is strong enough, even healthy trees can be uprooted or broken, but it might not take a storm or high winds to cause a cracked or rotted tree to fail under its own weight.
