Moisture-induced cracking in a flexural bilayer with application to historical paintings

Crack channelling in a brittle, flexural bilayer, composed of a coating adhering to a substrate of finite thickness, is addressed for the case of a uniform moisture content (or temperature) variation. The linear stress profile within the coating may lead to three different fracture mechanisms, which are a channelling crack with delamination absent, a channelling crack with delamination of finite length, and a channelling crack with delamination of unbounded extent. Failure mechanism maps illustrate the dependence of the active crack channelling mechanism, and the corresponding critical crack channelling stress, upon the stiffness mismatch between the layers and upon the ratio of interfacial toughness to coating toughness. Although the results are applicable to bilayers in a wide range of applications, the study focuses on the prediction of crack channelling in historical paintings. The significance of bending of the bilayer upon crack channelling is explored by comparing the fracture characteristics of the simply-supported, flexural bilayer with those of a rigidly supported bilayer that is constrained against bending. These two bilayer systems are representative of the different framing techniques commonly used for historical paintings, with the simply-supported bilayer reflecting a regular wooden panel that can bend freely, and the rigidly supported bilayer characterizing a wooden panel that does not bend as a result of cradle additions composed of several horizontal members and corresponding orthogonal cross-pieces. Independent of the type of framing technique applied, it is shown that crack channelling with delamination can be avoided in historical paintings when the delamination toughness exceeds the mode I toughness of the paint layer. Under these conditions paint flaking does not occur and the visual appearance of the painting is preserved. The failure maps constructed in this study provide a useful tool for museum conservators to identify acceptable indoor humidity and temperature variations such that historical paintings do not degrade by a combination of crack channelling and delamination.

Power quality assessment of a solar PV and fuel cell-based distributed generation system using unified power quality conditioner

ABSTRACT This paper deals with power quality (PQ) analysis of distributed generation (DG) system using unified power quality conditioner (UPQC). Despite of the several benefits of DG like excellent energy supply, reducing expansion of power distribution system, environmental friendly and so on, there are several challenges existing due to the integration of DG with the grid or operating it in standalone mode. In order to provide improved PQ of energy supply, it is necessary to analyse the harmonics distortion of the system as well as the voltage sag and swell. This paper explores the detail of PQ impacts in a DG operates in stand-alone mode. The voltage sag compensation with current and voltage harmonics are estimated at varying load conditions with different control scheme like synchronous reference frame (SRF) and modified-SRF technique. The proposed model is developed in MATLAB/Simulink and the results obtained are compared to that of conventional technique.

Constructing Reality: Framing of the Kashmir Conflict in Dictatorial and Democratic Regimes in the Pakistani English Press

This paper examines the framing of Kashmir conflict in the editorials of three Pakistani English newspapers, The Nation, The Nation, and Dawn during dictatorial (Musharraf regime, 2005-2007) and the democratic regime (Zardari regime (20082010). It argues that in case of conflict press conforms to the government policies, change in governments also has an effect on how the press changes its coverage on the conflict according to the policies of the government. The study utilizes a content analysis method to examine the use of framing techniques in the newspapers. Findings supported that the Pakistani press indexed the ruling elite’s stance in both regimes. It was found that during the dictatorial regime, as Kashmir conflict was high on agenda, Pakistani English press gave more coverage to Kashmir conflict as compared to the democratic regime. The results also showed that during the dictatorial regime, the dialogue frame to resolve the Kashmir conflict between India and Pakistan was high, which was also in line with the policy of Musharraf’s autocratic regime. Surprisingly, the press coverage in both regimes regarding the self-determination right for Kashmiris in the light of UNO resolutions, Pakistan’s longstanding stance, was minimal. The implications of the results are discussed.

A novel erection technique of the L-shaped precast frames utilizing laminated metal plates

ABSTRACT This study aimed to demonstrate an erection of the irregular L-shaped precast frames utilizing rigid mechanical joints. Precast columns of L-shaped sections were introduced to replace rectangular columns, which do not fit inside corners; sections are preferred by architects because of their architectural flexibility at the corners of walls. The mechanical connections of steel-concrete composite precast columns were developed using irregular shaped pair of steel plates; each plate was installed at the bottom of the upper columns and on the top of the lower columns. These were then inter-connected via bolts, providing a flexural capacity that was similar to that of conventional monolithic column connections. Column rebars were spliced through metal plates. The columns and beams were also assembled into frames by extended endplates, which were, subsequently, prefabricated with precast beams. An extensive erection test of a full-scale precast frame was performed, demonstrating the efficient and effortless erection of the proposed method. The construction time compared with conventional monolithic assembly was substantially reduced, leading to a corresponding reduction in construction costs. Numerical investigation of the proposed frames was also conducted to verify the structural performance, demonstrating predictable and stable nonlinear structural behavior of the mechanical joints.

Особенности композиции «Русского дневника» Джона Стейнбека

The study aims to identify compositional principles and techniques responsible for integrity of “A Russian Journal” as an example of the travelogue genre. The article presents an overview of opinions concerning correlation of journalistic, publicistic and artistic features of “A Russian Journal”, an interpretation of local and integrating compositional techniques. The research is novel in that it employs an analysis of compositional specifics as one of the means of artistry, which separates it from other works primarily focused on describing and interpreting the content of the text. As a result, it was found that “A Russian Journal” combines description of the events witnessed by Steinbeck in the USSR with the author’s assessment, which is achieved not only by openly expressing the writer’s standpoint but also by the means of transmitting implicit (artistic) meanings including use of the compositional frame technique.

Galvanic coupling effects on the corrosion behavior of the 6061 aluminum alloy used in research nuclear reactors

The 6061 alloy is used in different thermomechanical conditions in research nuclear reactors. Nuclear fuel plates are manufactured by the picture frame technique (PFT) and the 6061 alloy is used as cladding for the nuclear fuel “sandwiches”. After the PFT process, these nuclear plates are placed in a case made of 6061-T6 alloy. In this work, the galvanic effects of coupling the 6061 alloy in the T6 and PFT temper conditions were investigated in different chloride-containing solutions. The results showed that galvanic coupling was favored between the PFT and 6061-T6 alloy. A potential difference of about 50 mV was observed between the temper conditions. This was attributed to differences in β’’ phase density between the two conditions (T6 and PFT) which was indicated by microhardness results. The 6061 alloy in the PFT condition was cathodic in relation to the T6 one. Results from conventional electrochemical techniques were in agreement with the local measurements. Local electrochemical techniques such as the SVET, SECM and LEIS were useful in characterizing the electrochemical behavior of the galvanically coupled alloys.

Full‐scale hybrid test for realistic verification of a seismic upgrading technique of RC frames by BRBs

SummaryScientific research proposing any type of device/technique for seismic protection of buildings is generally based on numerical models that adopt simplifications to make possible extensive analyses. This means that important details of the inelastic response could be neglected. Following this consideration, regardless of the device/technique invented, before it could be put into practice, an experimental verification of the actual structural performance should be conducted by full‐scale tests at building level. This issue is investigated in the paper considering seismic retrofit of reinforced concrete (RC) framed structures by buckling‐restrained braces (BRBs) as technique to be validated, while hybrid test is selected as tool for experimental validation at building level. The analysed seismic upgrading technique consists in the insertion of BRBs into the RC frame. The upgrading intervention is designed by a method developed in previous studies. This technique responds to an important need of the society. Indeed, existing RC frames showed high vulnerability in occurrence of past earthquakes when they were not originally conceived to sustain horizontal forces. The hybrid test is selected among the available experimental techniques because it allows the experimentation on full‐scale specimens with reasonable cost. In this study, a substructure hybrid test was conducted and the results are here presented to (a) evaluate the effectiveness of the design method of BRBs for seismic upgrading, (b) investigate the integration of BRBs in existing RC frame, and (c) show the potentiality of the substructure hybrid test for the experimental verification of innovative techniques for seismic protection of buildings.

Disciplining bystanders: (Anti)carcerality, ethics, and the docile subject in HarassMap’s “the harasser is a criminal” media campaign in Egypt

ABSTRACT Theorizing situates bystander intervention approaches to combatting street sexual harassment as either an anti-carceral mode of social justice concerned with citizen responsibility and reshaping community norms or a carceral practice that shifts forms and sites of penal power. This article examines the intersection and effect of carceral and anti-carceral framing techniques in the 2015 “The Harasser is a Criminal” media campaign deployed by the Egyptian anti-sexual harassment initiative HarassMap to promote bystander intervention. Situated within a sphere of Egyptian gender activism that is transnational, secular, and feminist-oriented, and operating within a militarized, authoritarian political context, HarassMap’s campaign complicates how bystander intervention is instrumentalized as a technology of power to shape subjective and intersubjective responses to Egypt’s street sexual harassment problem. Carceral and anti-carceral currents flow together in their campaign not to promote a reliance on police or juridical structures for redress, but to cultivate new ethical dispositions as a means of mobilizing individuals to act. Through the figure of the bystander, HarassMap is engaged in a biopolitical project which seeks to create new neoliberal subjects who police themselves and assume responsibility for their own behavior in public space.

Computerized Fluid Dynamic Study of Parameter Effects on the Performance of Coaxial Propellers

The computerized fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis was performed for 1.8 m diameter coaxial propellers to be applied to the multi-copter type Personal Air Vehicle (PAV) having conceptually 600 kg of Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW). Methods/Statistical analysis: Using the commercial CFD program STAR-CCM+ (13.03.11), the coaxial propellers were analyzed at the same RPM under the steady state condition. The three-dimensional Compressible Reynolds Mean Navier-Stokes equation was applied and the Moving Reference Frame (MRF) technique was used. With the optimum single pitch angle of upper propeller, the lower propeller’s pitch was changed for the varying propeller spacing to identify the performance variation and the interference effect. The lower propeller has to be different pitch setting other than the upper propeller’s optimum pitch angle because of the interfered flow effect between propellers. The propeller spacing is not so sensitive to efficiency if the spacing is more than 0.25 of propeller diameter. Study shows that the identified pitches and spacing of coaxial propellers are essential for designing the configuration and control of multi-copter type PAV which uses variable pitch propellers for safety and efficiency.

Effects of Picture Frame Technique (PFT) on the corrosion behavior of 6061 aluminum alloy

The 6061 Al–Mg–Si alloy is used in nuclear fuel plates of nuclear research reactors which are fed with fuel in plate shapes. The production of these plates is based on the picture frame technique (PFT). The picture frame technique (PFT) is a manufacturing process for the fabrication of nuclear fuel plates where the nuclear fuel is encapsulated by Al alloy plates and thermomechanically processed to generate a set with reduced thickness. The effects of PFT on the corrosion resistance of the 6061 aluminum alloy were evaluated in this study by immersion and electrochemical tests in 0.005 mol L−1 NaCl solution. The results showed that the PFT fabrication process increases the corrosion resistance of the 6061 alloy in relation to the conventional 6061-T6, due phase dissolution and lower content of β’’ phase. Also, corrosion propagation gradually changes, with an increasing number of processing steps, from intergranular to intragranular corrosion attack.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF UPQC WITH VARIOUS HYSTERESIS CURRENT CONTROLLERS

This paper deals the comparative analysis of a three-phase three wire Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) with various hysteresis current controllers. The UPQC is one among the custom power devices which is a integration of series and shunt active power filters (APF) connected by a common link capacitor. The construction of shunt and series APF is by using a three phase three wire Voltage source Inverter (VSI). In series active filter, synchronous reference frame technique is used to extract fundamental voltage; whereas in shunt active filters, instantaneous reactive power theory (IRPT) is used to extract fundamental current. Switching pulses for both filters generated by hysteresis current controller (HCC), multilevel vector based hysteresis current controller (MVHCC) and adaptive hysteresis current controller (AHCC).The performance of the various HCC based control algorithm of shunt active filter with series active filter is evaluated in a three-phase distribution system connected with non-linear and unbalanced load conditions. Fuzzy logic control is used for dc capacitance balancing. The control technique is executed by the use of MATLAB/Simulink-based simulations environment.

Optimal Error Estimate of the Extended-WKB Approximation to the High Frequency Wave-Type Equation in the Semi-classical Regime

For the Cauchy problem of the high frequency wave-type equation with Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin (WKB) type initial data, the extended Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin (E-WKB) ansatz is an asymptotically valid solution. This ansatz is globally defined and formulated as an integral of coherent states over the displaced Lagrangian submanifold. This paper proves the optimal first order error estimate of the proposed E-WKB ansatz in $$L^2$$ norm for the wave-type equation in the semi-classical regime. The key ingredients in the proof are the moving frame technique developed in Zheng (Commun Math Sci 11:105–140, 2013) and the deep relations between the E-WKB analysis and the classical WKB analysis. Numerical results on the linear KdV equation verify the theoretical analysis.

Framing populism in France through the 2017 presidential election speeches by the leading candidates

Populism has become a defining feature of European and world politics. During the last decade, major drastic changes in the political landscape have occurred, with France appearing as a singular example: none of the two candidates who made it to the second round of the presidential elections were from the traditionally dominant center-left and center-right parties. This paper analyzes the presence of populism in the political narratives by the main political contenders in the French presidential elections held in 2017. It does so through a discourse analysis of some of their most widely seen political speeches around the campaign, providing an overview of the different framing techniques used by each candidate and their degree and type of populism.

Numerical analysis on the performance of Dual Rotor wind turbine

This study investigates the aerodynamic performance of wind turbines aiming to maximize the power extracted from the wind. The study is focusing on the effect of introducing a second rotor to the main rotor of the wind turbine in what is called a dual rotor wind turbine (DRWT). The numerical study took place on the performance of small-scale model of wind turbine of 0.9 m diameter using S826 airfoil.&#x0D; Both the Co-rotating and Counter rotating configurations were investigated at different tip speed ratios (TSR) and compared with the performance of the single rotor wind turbine (SRWT). Many parameters were studied for dual rotor turbines. These include the spacing between the two rotors, the pitch angle of the rear rotor and the rotational speed of ratio rear to front rotor. Three-dimensional simulations performed and employed using CFD simulations with Multi Reference Frame (MRF) technique.&#x0D; The Co Rotating Wind Turbine (CWT) and Counter Rotating Wind Turbine (CRWT) found to have better performance compared to that of the SRWT with an increase ranging from 12 to 14% in peak power coefficient. Moreover, the effect of changing the pitch angle of the rear rotor on the overall performance found to be of a negligible effect between angles 0⁰ until 2⁰ degrees tilting toward the front rotor. On the other hand, the ratio of rotational speed of the rear rotor to the front rotor found to cause a further increase in the peak performance of the CWT and CRWT ranging from 3 to 5%.

Agricultural Information's Impact on the Adaptive Capacity of Ghana's Smallholder Cocoa Farmers

Ghanaian smallholders grow one quarter of the world’s cocoa, but climate change, individual extreme weather events, such as droughts, as well as deforestation increasingly threaten cocoa production. Pertinent information could bolster adaptive capacity. However, in Ghana’s cocoa sector, relevant agricultural information is not available to all farmers, which can exacerbate power asymmetries. This paper focuses on how (i) agricultural and drought-adaptive information and (ii) socio-economic characteristics shape a cocoa farmer’s adaptive capacity. We conducted our study in the aftermath of 2015–16’s prolonged El Nino-induced drought that negatively impacted the livelihoods of cocoa smallholders across Ghana. In 48 semi-structured interviews and 12 focus groups, we asked smallholders how they responded to the drought to decipher how adaptive capacity compares between farmers receiving four different sources of agricultural information, and of diverse socio-economic status. Overall, agricultural information improved cocoa farmers’ adaptive capacity compared to those who received no formal agricultural information. Smallholders detailed adaptive techniques that would be accessible to, and thus replicable by, other poorly-resourced cocoa farmers. Shade tree management and income diversification were identified as pertinent adaptive actions. However, we identified a divergence between exposure to agricultural information and its transformation into substantive adaptive action. Additionally, informal information sharing between smallholders represents an underutilized resource by extension programmes. We found that adaptive capacity is also determined by socio-economic characteristics: particularly gender, and to a lesser extent formal education level, proximity to asphalt roads, and land tenure. Finally, we present evidence that framing adaptive techniques in relatable terms that resonate with farmers’ immediate livelihood concerns could narrow the adaptation deficit prevalent in Ghana’s cocoa sector.
