This prestressing of the steel allowed a much higher proportion of its ultimate strength to be utilized, allowing, in turn, the use of smaller and lighter arch ribs and a less massive substructure.

The father of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, who was kidnapped and murdered in Pakistan, said the lost reporters represent " the ultimate strength of open society as well as its ultimate vulnerability ."

But Bush has balked at agreeing to the limit of 1, 500 warheads that Putin has proposed, saying that the ultimate strength of the US nuclear arsenal should be based on an assessment of America's defense needs.

Indeed, somewhat counter-intuitively, the prestress strain ( that is, the strain induced in the prestressing steel due to the prestressing force, prior to loading the beam ) has no effect on the ultimate strength of the beam.

When a steel section is cold-formed from flat sheet or strip the yield strength, and to a lesser extent the ultimate strength, are increased as a result of this cold working, particularly in the bends of the section.

Its purpose is to originate a uniform and stable microstructure that most closely resembles the metal's phase diagram equilibrium microstructure, thus letting the metal attain relatively low levels of hardness, yield strength and ultimate strength with high plasticity and toughness.

As people related by blood and common experience, their ultimate strength, as well as their immediate liability, is their staunch refusal to criticize one another _ which is to say they accept fallibility, accept human frailty, accept failure, as part of life.

While depth might be the Huskies'saving grace on nights when key guys such as Watts or Luton struggle or there is foul trouble, that same depth has the potential to take the Huskies away from their ultimate strength _ the big guy.
49.
The test fixtures that apply those loads to the wing during the test might be designed with a factor of safety of 3.0 on ultimate strength, while the structure that shelters the test fixture might have an ultimate factor of safety of ten.

One can only hope that Bush also understands that the ultimate strength of America and the impact it has on the world does not come from all the military systems he plans to expand ( though they too are important ), or from Intel's latest microchip.
