On the limits of complexity in living forms

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2015
In a recent book chapter, Morris, S.C., 2013. Life: the final frontier for complexity? In: Lineweaver, C.H., Davies, P.C.W., Ruse, M. (Eds.), Complexity and the Arrow of Time. pp. 135-161. argues that there are limits to the complexity of life forms and that with the exception of human beings these limits have already been reached.

Forming Limits of Thermoplastic Composites

Key Engineering Materials, 2014
Defects and shape distortions can arise during thermoforming of thermoplastic composites. Design guidelines for thermoplastic composites can help to prevent such defects. The material selection and geometry definition are part of the design guidelines.

The Limitations of form

Soviet Studies in Literature, 1970
I should like to speak somewhat more sharply about the modern story. It is easy enough to show indignation, take me by the hand, and point to the quality of a few, shall we say, remarkable stories that have appeared recently. But I am deliberately exaggerating when I assert that the story today is inadequate and untenable.

Limited Form of Wegener's Granulomatosis

Chest, 1976
A 40-year-old man had a pathologically proved limited form of Wegener's granulomatosis complicating recurrent and massive hemoptysis from his cavitary pulmonary lesion. Of significant interest and clinical importance is the unusual location of the patient's pulmonary lesion, occurring in the posterior segment of the right upper lobe.

Forming a Limited Company

1969
In this chapter we initially explain why the limited company is such a popular organisation and the steps that have to be taken to convert a business into a company. There then follows an examination of how to attract the financial support of a larger section of the community and finally we consider the different forms in which this support could be ...

The concept of limited forms of Wegener's granulomatosis

The American Journal of Medicine, 1970
Four cases that support the concept of a limited form of Wegener's granulomatosis are described. The pathologic and pulmonary findings represent a variant of classic Wegener's granulomatosis, lacking the renal involvement that occurs with the latter.

The Forming Limit Curve

2011
In a deforming sheet, the strain state is defined as the ratio between minor strain and major strain. The formability depends on this strain state and can be expressed as the so-called forming limit curve (FLC). In complex strain states the deformation is limited by an instability just as in a tensile test. In cases of negative minor strain this can be

Forming and fracture limits of aluminium alloy

Materials Science and Technology, 2011
Forming and fracture limits of an AA 3104-H19 aluminium alloy sheet were studied by hydraulic bulging and Marciniak type deep drawing and tensile tests. The alloy appeared to be highly anisotropic, exhibiting distinctly different fracture patterns in the rolling and transverse directions.

Stress-Based Forming Limits in Sheet Metal Forming

Manufacturing Engineering, 2000
Abstract A strain-based forming limit criterion is widely used throughout the sheet metal forming industry to gauge the stability of the deformed material with respect to the development of a localized neck prior to fracture. This criterion is strictly valid only when the strain path is linear throughout the deformation process. There is
