“…Beyond the purely legal question, the issue at hand tests some of America’s national foundations, i.e. its Constitution and its religious tradition.

ANALYSIS OF FATIGUE FRACTURE BASED ON PERIDYNAMIC by 石宏顺, 钱松荣, 张国浩, 徐婷, 原群盛

“…Perdynamic（PD） is used for analyzing crack propagation in engineering material fracture,the bonds constitute to the constitutive relation of the peridynamic,and the broken bonds represent to material fracture,but it can’t be used for the fatigue analysis.Based on the Miner’s linear cumulative damage theory,the bond fatigue break criterion was proposed instead of the old break criterion,the PD fatigue fracture model for high cycle fatigue was constructed.Finally,a bending fatigue fracture analysis was carried out on a standard involute gear,the results show that the fatigue fracture process for gear by PD fatigue fracture model is consistent with experiment,the PD fatigue fracture model provides a method which consists of life prediction and fatigue crack propagation.…”

“…However, the conceptual ambiguities and implementation problems of this single article caused the legislator to repeal the previous single article by approving a new article in 1398.This article is an attempt to illustrate the article’s strengths and weaknesses by reconsidering the “critical-corrective” nature of the new single article, and especially to explain its incompatibility with the forty-first principle of the constitution; it is finally suggested that due to the truth and nature of citizenship and more compatibility with Article 41 of the Constitution, maternal lineage, like paternal lineage, secure the Iranian citizenship to the child.…”
