METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE CRITICAL POINT OF ELASTIC⁃PLASTIC OF M⁃B MODEL by CAO HongJun, ZHU Min, WANG ShengAo, DENG LiChongYang, MA DeSheng

“…The determination of the elasto⁃plastic critical point is very important for the study of the rough surface contact problem.In order to solve the shortcomings of the existing M⁃B model elasto⁃plastic critical point determination method,the characterization value is unmeasurable and difficult to apply.Based on the basic model of fractal theory,the distribution function and probability distribution density of asperity truncated area were obtained by means of mathematical statistics.Combined with the ideal elastic and plastic contact models of Hertzian contact,the normal force model in the process of plane⁃plane contact with fractal characteristics was obtained.Based on the difference between the actual contact area and the cut⁃off area during plastic deformation,a correction factor was proposed,and a method for determining the elasto⁃plastic critical point with the critical normal force as the characterization quantity was finally obtained.The new method takes the normal force as the characterization quantity and needs to be obtained through calibration experiments,which is more operational and credible.…”

Investment neutrality in resource rent taxation – revealed preferences of Norwegian oil & gas companies by Julide Ceren Ahi, Atle Blomgren, Atle Guttormsen, Bård Misund, Ragnar Tveterås

“…The disagreement relates to whether the petroleum special tax on the Norwegian Continental Shelf leads to under- or over-investments. Ideally, to ascertain the degree of investment distortion, one would need to conduct an empirical analysis of the private investment decision information of oil and gas companies that is not publicly available. …”
