A common form of crevice failure occurs due to stress corrosion cracking, where a crack or cracks develop from the base of the crevice where the stress concentration is greatest. This was the root cause of the fall of the Silver Bridge over the Ohio River , in 1967 in West Virginia , where a single critical crack only about 3 mm long suddenly ...
Scientists are torn about why a massive crack in the earth suddenly appeared outside Nairobi, Kenya.
A crevasse is a deep crack that forms in a glacier or ice sheet. Crevasses form as a result of the movement and resulting stress associated with the shear stress generated when two semi-rigid pieces above a plastic substrate have different rates of movement. The resulting intensity of the shear stress causes a breakage along the faces.
The intergluteal cleft or just gluteal cleft, also known by a number of synonyms, including natal cleft and cluneal cleft, is the groove between the buttocks that runs from just below the sacrum to the perineum, [1] so named because it forms the visible border between the external rounded protrusions of the gluteus maximus muscles.
The shear crack, shown in blue, propagates when tensile cracks, shown in red, grow perpendicular to the direction of the least principal stresses. The tensile cracks propagate a short distance then become stable, allowing the shear crack to propagate. [5] This type of crack propagation should only be considered an example.
To keep them out, seal any minor crack or crevice that could serve as an entry point. Even a loose weather strip on the front door could let pests inside. Follow House Beautiful on Instagram and ...
The terms plumber butt or plumber's crack (Canadian, Australian, and American English) and builder's bum (British English) refer to the exposure of the buttock cleavage. The expression "builder's bum" was first recorded in 1988.
I'd just turned 16 in 1993 when my brother died suddenly, and the crack in my family became a crevice. We tried to fill the crevices with what we could to survive; we all changed forever.
