Theoretical stability of ice shelf basal crevasses with a vertical temperature profile by Niall Bennet Coffey, Ching-Yao Lai, Yongji Wang, W. Roger Buck, Trystan Surawy-Stepney, Anna Elizabeth Hogg

“…By incorporating a Horizontal Force Balance (HFB) argument, recent work showed analytically that the threshold stress for rift initiation is only half of that predicted by the Zero Stress approximation. We generalize the HFB theory to show that while the temperature profile influences crack depths, the threshold rifting stress is insensitive to temperature. …”

Building irregularity issues and architectural design in seismic areas by Valerio Alecci, Mario De Stefano

“…In the last decades, some trends in architectural design, such as Deconstructivism and other contemporary theories, worked in pursuing architectural solutions based on the concept of “deconstruction” in place of “construction”, favoring non-rigid schemes, non-regular shapes and, more generally, avoiding geometric rules and classical canons of symmetry and regularity. …”
