Experimental Study of Fracture Characterizations of Rocks under Dynamic Tension Test with Image Processing by Dihao Ai, Yuechao Zhao, Beijing Xie, Chengwu Li

“…To investigate the fracture characterizations of rocks under high strain rate tensile failure, a series of dynamic Brazilian tests was conducted using Split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB), and a high-speed digital camera at a frame rate of 50,000 frames per second (FPS) with a resolution of 272 × 512 pixels was adopted to capture the real-time images and visualize the failure processes. …”

Experimental study on the splitting tensile failure of a carbon nanotube-modified fly ash foamed concrete filler by Shukun Zhang, Xinghui Wu, Peng Jiang, Haohao Wang, Shuai Wang, Haojie Yang, Lu Lu

“…Abstract To study the enhancement effect of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the splitting tensile properties of foamed concrete backfill in which cement and fly ash were used as the cementitious materials and natural sand was used as the aggregate, specimens of CNT-modified foamed concrete backfill were prepared. Brazilian splitting tests were used to investigate the splitting tensile strength of the CNT-modified foamed concrete backfill, and the digital speckle correlation method was used to analyze the stress field characteristics and crack expansion law of the specimens during splitting tensile testing. …”

Linha 1 do Metrô de São Paulo: os mais ricos vão ao Paraíso by Oliver Cauã Cauê França Scarcelli, Lucas Coutinho Marcelino da Silva

“…For these reasons, we agree with Francisco de Oliveira (1982), for whom the “middle classes” carried great weight in urban policies as a result of the dismantling of workers’ organizations by the last Brazilian military regime (1964 – 1985). We also subscribe to Silvana Zioni (1999), for whom the transport policies of that authoritarian period only got off the ground because they served the interest of the dominant classes.…”
