Diaphragms have been provided at pier head and 11th segment to impart tensional rigidity to the cantilever arm.
12.
The interpreted overview of the depositional environment is that of a trans-tensional arc caused by oblique subduction.
13.
When tensional stresses stretch a body or layer of rock such that its tensile strength is exceeded, it breaks.
14.
These volcanoes are typically associated with north south tensional fractures formed by the continuing the north south shortening deformation of Anatolia.
15.
The intercrater unit, presumably volcanic extrusions through tensional fractures, is the most voluminous plains material in the map region.
16.
It distributes the tensional load away from fatigue points and maintains relieved conditions of inherent internal stresses where the rupture initially occurred.
17.
The term " tensegrity " was coined by Buckminster Fuller in the 1960s as a portmanteau of " tensional integrity ".
18.
This fault pattern is caused by the tensional forces pulling apart the adjacent Basin and Range province to the west, making this section transitional.
19.
Since a tectonic graben is typically characterized by tensional features, the common interpretation meets basic difficulties with the structurally dominant compressive style that was observed.
20.
This area and its antipode in the Discovery quadrangle are the only two on Mercury where tensional forces can now be seen to have shaped the surface.
