However, a combination of significant build-up in credit enhancement over the life of the transactions as well as revised base-case gross-loss assumptions that more closely reflect the strong performance of the trusts provide additional support and robustness to the ratings and are sufficient to withstand high combined stresses to WA foreclosure frequency and WA recovery rates.
These changes, caused by the combined stresses of gradual climate change and extreme weather events, are overwhelming the natural resilience of Australia's ecosystems.
The variety RB867515 showed no significant difference of MDA in leaf tissues exposed to combined stresses (Figure 2A).
These types of structures, including F2BCC can be used in applications where homogeneity of rigidity is required and could be useful in applications with combined stresses.
After reviewing the design properties of common building materials, this technical engineering textbook progresses through direct stress analysis, direct shear, torsional shear, bending moments in beams, shearing stresses in beams, deformation under loads, combined stresses, statically indeterminate beams, columns, pressure vessels, and connections.
The criterion of failure for combined stresses as expressed in equation (2) that satisfies the requirement of stress invariants may be expressed in terms of compressive strength as:
These stresses can be in the hoop direction (e.g., from the internal pressure), resulting in axial cracks in the axial direction (e.g., from land movement), resulting in circumferential cracks; or both in directions (e.g., the combined stresses or from dents), resulting in cracks at other orientations.
When a mixer is operating, the shaft is experiencing both bending and torsional stresses, therefore the maximum combined stresses in the shaft were found by the following equation:
In the long term, combined stresses associated with climate change are expected to decrease agricultural productivity in the Midwest.
But, like our immune systems in the case of chronic infections, coral reefs' combined stresses create inhospitable places for fish and other reef inhabitants; damaged reefs are ineffective barriers to waves, which can wipe out whole villages.
