Thus, independent of the dimensions of the test pieces, the strength values obtained are always comparable. These relationships refer also to bonded joints for which the term adhesive strength has become established for destructive testing of overlapped test pieces (Figure 10.2). It is abbreviated by the Greek letter r (pronounced tau) referenced with the index B ... 

A priori it is not clear if effective core potentieds, which have for example been adjusted to reproduce atomic energy differences in wave function based calculations or to reproduce the shape of the valence orbitals outside the core, can successfully be used in density functional calculations. For so-called small core potentieds, where the atomic core has been chosen such that core and valence densities have little overlap, test calculations have shown that results from allelectron and pseudopotential calculations were virtually the same [74]. A related investigation on gold compounds comes to the same conclusion [75]. It is however not recommended to perform density functional investigations with large-core pseudopotentials that have been adjusted in wave function calculations. One example for a leirge-core situation is a transition metal where the vedence d orbiteds are (of course) treated explicitly, while the s emd p orbitals of the same principal quantum number are considered core orbitals. From an energetic view, such a separation seems well justified. However, problems arise since the densites of the s,p, and d orbitals of the same principal quantum number have considerable overlap. 

These formulae are notable for the absence of any involvement of the overlap t. For short-overlap test coupons, of course, the corresponding formula...

As far as practicable, tests for I C systems important to safety should be overall checks (from the sensors to the actuators), capable of being performed in situ and with a minimum of effort. It is acceptable for the test programme to consist of overlapping tests which together test the whole channel. All the output functions important to safety, such as alarms, control actions and operation of actuation devices, should be tested. 

However, such tests are not always practicable. In such circumstances, the test programme should combine on-line (operational states in which the safety function is or may be required) and off-line (operational states in which the safety function is not required) tests in a series of overlapping test steps, to the extent necessary to achieve the test objectives. Adeqnacy of the nse of overlapping test steps shonld be demonstrated. 

Despite these great differences in bulk individual mechanical properties, the strength of structural joints (in which the adhesive strains are far from uniform) is far less sensitive to the test temperature than that of short-overlap test coupons (in which the adhesive strains are close to uniform, which is why they are used to generate the stress-strain curves). (This is explained in more detail below, in terms of elastic-plastic adhesive models [Hart-Smith 1973a, 1974]). 

There have, for decades, now, been reliable analytical tools available for the design and analysis of adhesively bonded joints. Even so, there is still far too much reKance on the oversimplified model whereby the bond strength is assumed to be the product of some fictitious uniform adhesive allowable shear stress and the bond area. If more joint strength were needed, all one had to do, according to this procedure, was to increase the bonded area. Bonded joints do not obey such rules. Such a formula is valid today only in the context of short-overlap test coupons in which the goal is to create as closely as possible a uniform state of... 

The key to the success of these designs was the acknowledgement that the adhesives shear stresses were, and should be, highly nonuniform. There are enormous differences between the way adhesives behave, under what appear to be the same external loads, in short-overlap test coupons and long-overlap structural joints, as explained in Fig. 44.16.

Otherwise, if the particle touches any of the sites, the overlapping test is performed according to the usual RSA rules, that is, it is checked if there is any previously adsorbed particle within the exclusion area if so, the simulation loop is repeated (the number of attempts was increased by one).
