affecting its elasticity of supply for the product or service The definition of elasticity of supply for the product or service is measured as the ratio of proportionate change in the quantity supplied to the proportionate change in price. High elasticity indicates the supply is sensitive to changes in prices, low elasticity indicates little sensitivity to price changes, and no elasticity means no relationship with price. Also called price elasticity of supply. In the degree of elasticity of supply

Abstract Since I can remember, our military has participated in a large number of conflicts. Our soldiers have multiple deployments and many within a 10-year period. This causes a mental wear on our Soldiers, and until recently, no one lent importance to the issue.

Relationship between Kmax and σf Kannan et al. [23] had examined the applicability of a modified two-parameter fracture criterion MTPFC which introduced by Christopher et al. [24, 25] while assessing the fracture strength of structure components. They utilized a relation between the stress intensity factor (Kmax) and the corresponding stress at failure (σf) as (2) where σf is the hoop stress at the failure pressure
