The conditions for necking are well defined through the theory of Hill [1]. These conditions are applied to elasto plastic linearly hardening Tresca.and v Mises materials for different hardening characteristics. The results suggest that necking developes for all hardening materials. Below a certain hardening the stresses normal to the necking region and just outside it decrease during the necking

Experiments have been performed on cracks growing in a weak elastic layer bonded to a stiffer beam. The plane of the initial crack is perpendicular to the interface between the layer and the beam (see Fig. 1). The applied load is initially mode I. A frequent observation is that the crack deflects following a curved path. Finally the crack runs almost parallel with the interface. Different ratios o

Cardiac resynchronization therapy may stabilize patients with severe heart failure awaiting heart transplant. Transvenous interventional implantation aided by intracardiac echocardiography is feasible in patients with adult congenital heart disease.

Music educators working in cross-cultural contexts are faced with both challenges and possibilities, often finding themselves in need of multidimensional re-invention.

The World Exposition in 1942 never took place due to W

Climate change mitigation efforts require information on the current greenhouse gas atmospheric concentrations and their sources and sinks. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most abundant anthropogenic greenhouse gas. Its variability in the atmosphere is modulated by the synergy between weather and CO2 surface fluxes, often referred to as CO2 weather. It is interpreted with the help of global or regiona

The montage film The Dissonance of Memory (Chapter IV) takes its point of departure in the multilayered narratives surrounding the areas of Gellerup and Toveshøj outside Aarhus in Denmark. Tracing the waves of change, progress and re-design of the area – from the never realized original plans till todays Helhedsplan (grand masterplan) – through a re-contextualisation of material from the local arc

The theoretical debate on the nature of narrative has been mainly concerned with literary narratives, whereas forms of non-literary and especially pictorial narrativity have been somewhat neglected. In this paper, however, I shall discuss narrativity specifically with regard to pictorial objects in order to clarify how pictorial storytelling may be based on the activation of mentally stored action
