A potência oralizante da multidão: por que os estudos culturais ajudam a compreender a experiência dos muitos na literatura contemporânea by Luciano Barbosa Justino

“…My aim in this article is to make a triple movement: i) s how how the questions made by cultural studies transform the spaces of legitimation of the literature in so far as are symptoms of important changes in the cultural sphere and in the own concept of culture ; ii) d emonstrate that the autonomy based exclusive ly in esthetic values of the literature is not possible in the contemporary context ; and iii) u nderstand the contemporary literature as an open space for a multiplicity of ways of life that find in oral literature their most significant process of semiotization.…”

基于裂纹扩展分析的正交异性钢桥面板疲劳响应研究 by 叶华文, 叶杨帆, 周亚栋, 王翔, 李云友

“…为合理评估开裂正交异性钢桥面板的疲劳性能演化情况，基于既有足尺模型疲劳试验，综合采用有限元程序ANSYS和Franc3D的多尺度交互技术模拟钢桥面板典型疲劳易损细节裂纹扩展行为，探究裂纹扩展过程中各关键细节（顶板与U肋连接焊缝、U肋与横隔板连接焊缝、横隔板开孔处）的疲劳应力响应和演化情况。结果表明：裂纹扩展对正交异性钢桥面板局部变形（挠度）影响很小；不同开裂模式下，各细节处应力变化规律存在较大差异，裂纹扩展的响应呈现出局部特征，仅对最近的细节主拉应力有一定的增大效应；顶板与纵肋焊缝连接处和横隔板开孔处的裂纹扩展对相邻疲劳细节的主拉应力提升效果较显著，可能导致该处萌生裂纹。…”
