flex

Examples of flexural

flexural
Tangential longitudinal strain and flexural flow dominated in the competent and incompetent layers, respectively.
Solving the state-space matrices gives the vector of states v, that is, the angular, nodal flexural and rotational displacements and velocities.
While the competent layer folded by tangential longitudinal strain, the incompetent layer folded by flexural flow.
Buckling by tangential longitudinal strain in the competent layer and flexural flow in the incompetent layer dominated initially.
In between the competent and incompetent units there was flexural slip.
An additional influence of lithospheric flexural stress caused by intrusive and volcanic loading cannot be ruled out, however.
The computations relating the wire deflexion to the fluid drag force required the value of the flexural rigidity of the wire.
In this respect, a control mechanism that accounts for both rigid body and flexural motions of the system is required.
Differentiated flexural tectonic subsidence has been successively compensated by accumulation of the sediments within the basin.
This seems to suggest that oblique flexural-slip occurred during folding in most, if not all of, that section.
Asymmetric folds at lithological boundaries indicate some flexural slip occurred during this folding.
Flexural-slip was also prevalent during progressive folding at the interface between layers.
Recognizing that the flexural motion is basically induced by the applied rigid body motion, the altered joint motion can excite or reduce the motion-induced vibration.
The magnitude of low mode components of flexural motion is considerably larger than those of the remaining high mode components.
However, the denudational pattern can be considerably modulated by the flexural rigidity of the lithosphere.
