External restraint

External dimensional shrinking and swelling of wood is roughly proportional to the specific gravity of the wood (1, Chapter 13). Swelling of wood can be forced to be almost entirely internal by applying strong external restraint (1, pg. 233). 

When the shrinkage cannot take place due to internal (e. g. the reinforcement) or external restraints, tensile stresses arise in the concrete that can lead to cracking if they exceed the tensile strength of the concrete. Shrinkage is more harmful when it takes place at early ages, i. e. when the tensile strength of concrete is extremely low.

When the composition and molecular asymmetry are kept constant, Eq. (3.40) goes through a minimum, and then a maximum, as the disorientation parameter y increases. Since there are no external restraints on the disorientation index, y... 

The entire temperature progress, fr (a,T), is the subject of external and internal flows of heat and their contributions are usually reduced to that which is simply provided by externally applied temperature program, T, + f(t) u,e,, specifying the external restraint of the reaction progress in relation to the reaction rate, r ", derived from the factually measured properties of the sample. 

In performing measurements of the properties of a system, experimentalists often find that the values of the measured properties are constant over the time seale At = t - to of their measurements and independent of the starting time to of the measurements. When sueh results are obtained, the system is said to be in the state of equilibrium. Of course, we know from mieroseopie considerations that the properties of a system that are not fixed by external restraints mnst be a function of time. Thus, the appearance of equihbrinm must be due to the smoothing out of fluctuations on the time scale of macroscopic measurements.

Externally impo.seddisplacements. Externally caused movement of restraints wiU impose displacements on the piping in addition to those related to thermal effects. Such movements may result from causes such as wind sway or temperature changes in connected equipment. 

Acceptable comprehensive methods of analysis are analytical, model-test, and chart methods, which evaluate for the entire piping system under consideration the forces, moments, and stresses caused by bending and torsion from a simultaneous consideration of terminal and intermediate restraints to thermal expansion and include all external movements transmitted under thermal change to the piping by its terminal and intermediate attachments. Correction factors, as provided by the details of these rules, must be applied for the stress intensification of curved pipe and branch connections and may be applied for the increased flexibihty of such component parts. 

Displacement Strains The concepts of strain imposed by restraint of thermal expansion or contraction and by external movement described for metallic piping apply in principle to nonmetals. Nevertheless, the assumption that stresses throughout the piping system can be predic ted from these strains because of fully elastic behavior of the piping materials is not generally valid for nonmetals. 

If the only restraint on the system is the pressure of the environment, then the only work is mechanical work against the external pressure P. Therefore, DW is equal to —P dV and Equation (7.1) becomes... 

Physical properties of CSA-containing concretes (compressive strength, creep, modulus of elasticity and durability) are comparable to those of corresponding Portland cement concretes, especially when CSA is used at dosages of 8-11%. When the dosage exceeds the ranges mentioned above and no restraint is provided either internally (by reinforcement) or externally, a point is reached when the expansion will have a disruptive effect on mechanical... 

To summarize, the formation of a 2s-energy band from the 2s orbitals when N Li atoms are gathered together to form the Li crystal is shown in Figure 1.15. There are, N 2s-electrons but there are 2N states in the band, therefore the 2s band is only half full. Besides, the atomic Is orbital, which is close to the Li nucleus, that is, is the two Is electrons which are the core electrons, remains undisturbed in the solid, that is, each Li atom has a closed K-shell, specifically a full Is orbital. Consequently, in general, when a solid metal is formed, the external orbitals overlap. As a consequence of this process, the outer electrons move without restraint through the metal, while the core electrons remains in their atomic orbital. 

In addition to the above restraints that are particular to the CWC, there seem to be some general limitations that may apply to any on-site inspection system. They concern the external and internal functions of state sovereignty one is related to the territorial jurisdiction or control of a state and the other to the human rights of individuals.
