However, the study of fluctuating stresses and fatigue resistance shows more insight into the failure of these materials.
2.
The fluctuating velocity field gives rise to fluctuating stresses ( both tangential and normal ) that act on the air-water interface.
3.
Fluctuating stresses for ABS has been shown to cause failure of the material mainly through shear yielding; similar stresses for HIPS revealed that a process known as crazing was the main driving force for failure.
