Verifica a fatica dei giunti saldati sulla base di misure di deformazione locale by V. Dattoma, R. Nobile, F.W. Panella

“…Si tratta in generale di fornire dei metodi di verifica e progetto deterministici, come è proprio dell’ingegneria, per revedere il comportamento meccanico di un materiale che, quando è sotto forma di saldatura, cambia le sue proprietà meccaniche e microstrutturali rispetto al materiale base, si dispone in una geometria locale del cordone estremamente variabile e non definibile a priori, è infine affetto da campi di tensione residua  non proprio trascurabili. …”

Previsione della resistenza a fatica in saldature per punti attraverso modellazione solida by R. Tovo, P. Livieri, S. Capetta

“…Tali giunti sono sollecitati a taglio (giunti a semplice sovrapposizione) o a trazione (giunti a tazza). Infine, è discussa la condizione di convergenza delle analisi numeriche necessarie, in entrambi i metodi, per il calcolo di una tensione equivalente da porre a confronto direttamente con la di resistenza a fatica del materiale.…”

Revisiting classical concepts of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics - Part I: The closing �mathematical� crack in an infinite plate and the respective Stress Intensity Factors by Christos F. Markides, Stavros K. Kourkoulis

“…The motive of this first paper is to highlight some controversial issues, related to the unnatural overlapping of the lips of a �mathematical� crack in an infinite plate loaded by specific combinations of principal stresses at infinity (predicted by the classical solution of the respective first fundamental problem), and the closely associated issue of negative mode-I Stress Intensity Factor. …”

Bistatic High Frequency Radar Ocean Surface Cross Section for an FMCW Source with an Antenna on a Floating Platform by Yue Ma, Weimin Huang, Eric W. Gill

“…The second-order radar cross section for the FMCW waveform reduces to that for the pulsed waveform when the scattering patch limit approaches infinity. The effect of platform motion on the radar cross sections for an FMCW waveform is investigated for a variety of sea states and operating frequencies and, in general, is found to be similar to that for a pulsed waveform.…”

Multiple Positive Solutions of Singular Nonlinear Sturm-Liouville Problems with Carathéodory Perturbed Term by Yuefeng Han, Xinguang Zhang, Lishan Liu, Yonghong Wu

“…This equation is viewed as a perturbation of the fourth-order Sturm-Liouville problem, where the perturbed term g:(0,1)×[0,+∞)×(-∞,+∞)→(-∞,+∞) only satisfies the global Carathéodory conditions, which implies that the perturbed effect of g on f is quite large so that the nonlinearity can tend to negative infinity at some singular points.…”

Ground Deformation Characteristics Induced by Mechanized Shield Twin Tunnelling along Curved Alignments by Dangzhong Wu, Kaiping Xu, Panpan Guo, Gang Lei, Kang Cheng, Xiaonan Gong

“…It has been found that the tunnelling-induced transverse ground surface settlement troughs and the distributions of the subsurface horizontal and vertical ground displacements are mostly similar in both form and magnitude for the considered various radii of curvature of tunnel alignment including 50 m, 100 m, 150 m, 200 m, 250 m, 300 m, 400 m, and infinity (i.e., straight-line tunnel). Considering the variational characteristics of the ground deformations with the magnitude of the radius of curvature, the radius of curvature of 100 m can be regarded as a critical tunnel alignment radius of curvature controlling the transformation of the curved tunnelling-induced ground deformational behaviors. …”

L’INFLUSSO DELLE VARIETÀ ITALOROMANZE SETTENTRIONALI SUL LESSICO COMMERCIALE TEDESCO. CONSIDERAZIONI PRELIMINARI by Davide Basaldella

“…In un secondo momento, si analizzano indizi di tipo grafico e semantico, che permettono di fare considerazioni sulla provenienza e sulla modalità di penetrazione degli italianismi. Infine, si inquadrano i settentrionalismi della documentazione tedesca in un più generale processo di diffusione nell’Europa nordoccidentale, evidenziando riscontri nella documentazione di altre varietà, come il neerlandese, l’inglese e lo svedese.   …”

Prediction of Outcomes in Sports Under Probability in Kigezi Region. by Masereka, Jairus

“…The Poisson distribution is also the limit of a binomial distribution, for which the probability of success for each trial equals λ divided by the number of trials, as the number of trials approaches infinity. The study concludes that the prediction of outcomes in sports, particularly in the Kigezi region, relies heavily on the application of probability theory. …”
