Transverse curve

Ca.sca.ra. Sagrada. Cascara sagrada, also known as sacred bark, chitten, dogwood, coffeeberry, bearberry, bitter bark, and bearwood, is the dried bark of Jdamnus Purshiana DeCandoUe. It is ia the form of browa, purpHsh browa, or brownish red flattened or transversely curved pieces, 1- to 5-mm thick, and has a characteristic odor and bitter taste. It should be collected at least one year prior to use. The active constituents are aloe-emodin... 

Figure 14. Relative axial tensile strength improvement and transverse tensile strength reduction resulting from the effect of a drawing process on the flaw spectrum. The transverse curve is the limiting curve defined by Equation 29 for R = 0.

The isotropic part has not changed. The quasi pressure (qP) curve splits up into a real and an imaginary branch . During this real part the transversal share of the polarization increases until the wave becomes a quasi shear vertical wave. Furthermore, the wave is not anymore a propagating but an evanescent wave in this part. The branch is again only real, it is part of the quasi shear vertical (qSV) curve of the homogeneous case (dotted line), its polarization is dominated by the transversal share and the wave is a propagating one. For the branches (real) and... 

Iditional importance is that the vibrational modes are dependent upon the reciprocal e vector k. As with calculations of the electronic structure of periodic lattices these cal-ions are usually performed by selecting a suitable set of points from within the Brillouin. For periodic solids it is necessary to take this periodicity into account the effect on the id-derivative matrix is that each element x] needs to be multiplied by the phase factor k-r y). A phonon dispersion curve indicates how the phonon frequencies vary over tlie luin zone, an example being shown in Figure 5.37. The phonon density of states is ariation in the number of frequencies as a function of frequency. A purely transverse ition is one where the displacement of the atoms is perpendicular to the direction of on of the wave in a pmely longitudinal vibration tlie atomic displacements are in the ition of the wave motion. Such motions can be observed in simple systems (e.g. those contain just one or two atoms per unit cell) but for general three-dimensional lattices of the vibrations are a mixture of transverse and longitudinal motions, the exceptions... 

The curves for 3M XP251S fiberglass-epoxy are shown in Figures C-1 through C-5 [C-1]. Curves are given for both tensile and compressive behavior of the direct stresses. Note that the behavior in the fiber direction is essentially linear in both tension and compression. Transverse to the fiber direction, the behavior is nearly linear in tension, but very nonlinear in compression. The shear stress-strain curve is highly nonlinear. The Poisson s ratios (not shown) are essentially constant with values v.,2 =. 25 and V21 =. 09. 

Figure 14 shows the displacement of the distribution function towards high / , i.e. the uncoiling of molecules under the influence of stretching for polyethylene (A = 3 x 10-9 m, N = 100 and T = 420 K). This displacement will be characterized by the position of the maximum of the distribution curve, the most probable value of / , i.e. j3m, as a function of x (Fig. 15). Figure 15 also shows the values of stresses a that should be applied to the melt to attain the corresponding values of x (o = xkT/SL, where S is the transverse cross-section of the molecule). 

Corollary 1.—The area enclosed by the circuit representing an isothermal reversible cycle on the indicator diagram is zero if, therefore, the curve is not a segment of a line transversed from A to B and then from B to A (Fig. 4), it must form two loops of equal areas but traversed in opposite senses, or else such a system of positive and negative loops that the total area is zero. 

As mentioned earlier, in curved channels a secondary flow pattern of two counter-rotating vortices is formed. Similarly to the situation depicted in Figrue 2.43, these vortices redistribute fluid volumes in a plane perpendicular to the main flow direction. Such a transversal mass transfer reduces the dispersion, a fact reflected in the dependence in Eq. (108) at large Dean numbers. For small Dean numbers, the secondary flow is negligible, and the dispersion in curved ducts equals the Taylor-Aris dispersion of straight ducts. 

Using a newly developed, transversely heated graphite atomizer and D2-back-ground correction (for details see Sections 2.2 and 4.3), Cd, Pb and Cr were determined in cement and river sediment samples. Of the various calibration approaches applied the best results, also in comparison with wet chemical procedures, were achieved with calibration curves constructed by means of different BCR CRMs with different analyte concentrations and usually n = to individual intakes (Nowka and Muller 1997). 

It is a 2D slice of the fiber pattern. Only fiber symmetry makes that it is completely represented by a curve as a function of a transversal (cf. Bonart [16]) coordinate... 

If these concepts of curve analysis shall be applied to the anisotropic scattering of polymer fibers, one should choose to study either the longitudinal or the transversal density fluctuations. According to the decision made, the fiber scattering must be projected either on the fiber axis or on the cross-sectional plane. This results in scattering curves with a one- or a two-dimensional Porod s law. Because modern radiation sources always feature a point-focus, the required plots for the separation of fluctuation and transition zone are readily established (cf. Table 8.3). 

The hardness of wood varies markedly from soft balsa to hard ironwood with pine, oak, and maple in between. It is measured either by determining the force needed to push a hard ball (diameter = 0.444 in) into the wood to a depth equal to half the ball s diameter (Janka hardness) or by the initial slope of the force vs. penetration-depth curve (Hardness modulus). Average values of Janka hardnesses for typical woods are listed in Table 13.1. The data are from Green et al., (2006), and are for penetration transverse to the tree axis. The values are for moisture contents of about ten percent. The first set of five items are hardwoods, while the second set are softwoods. To roughly convert Janka hardnesses to VHN multiply by 0.0045.

In three dimensions, transverse and longitudinal optic and acoustic modes result. The dispersion curve for CuCl along [100] of the cubic unit cell [3] is shown in Figure 8.11(a) as an example. The number of discrete modes with frequencies in a defined interval can be displayed as a function of the frequency. This gives what is termed the density of vibrational modes or the vibrational density of states (DoS). The vibrational DoS of CuCl is given in Figure 8.11(b).
