Experiment and Numerical Simulation of Wooden Door Frame by Eryu Zhu, Bin Wang, Dongqi Wei, Li Zhu

“…To prevent the wooden door frame of traditional rural houses from being stuck due to diamond deformation under earthquake and improve the seismic capacity of rural houses, an innovative method of reinforcing the angular displacement of the wooden door frame with channel steel and the diagonal brace is proposed. The rationality of the finite element simulation is demonstrated by comparing the results of finite element simulation and quasistatic test based on reinforced and unreinforced wooden door frame specimens. …”

Occupational therapy’s oversight: How science veiled our humanity by Heleen Reid, Clare Hocking, Elizabeth Smythe

“…While these sources of objective knowledge provide a rational, defendable position for practice, they can only explain a portion of what it means to exist as an occupational being.Aims/Objectives This article aims to reveal some of the history of science within occupational therapy and reveal the subjective, ontological nature of doing everyday activities that the profession’s preoccupation with positivist science has obscured.Methods This research used a history of ideas methodology to uncover how occupational therapy perceived people and how practice was conceptualised and conducted between 1800 and 1980s, as depicted in writing of the time.Conclusion Analysis showed that, through history, people were increasingly categorised and delimited. …”

Investigation on Calculation Method of Permeability Coefficient in the Consolidation Process of Cohesive Soil by Mei Zhou, Faning Dang, Jiulong Ding, Le Zhang, Xinyu Liang

“…Combined with the e−lgσ relationships of normally consolidated soil, underconsolidated soil, and overconsolidated soil, the formulas of permeability coefficient, which considering the influence of initial consolidation state and consolidation stress, in the consolidation process of cohesive soil, were proposed. Finally, the rationality of the new formulas proposed in this paper was analyzed by indoor consolidation-permeability test and existing research. …”

Vibration Characteristic Analysis of a Coupling System for Compound Biaxial and Inter-Shaft Bearings by Kun Li, Hongchang Ding, Guohua Cao, Han Hou

“…Considering the moment of inertia, gyro effect, and structural damping, a one-dimensional beam model is used to perform the MATLAB numerical calculation of the coupling system to obtain the modal characteristics of the system, and based on the ANSYS simulation analysis of the three-dimensional model, a modal test is used to obtain the system modal shape and test frequency response function to verify the rationality of the coupling system model. Based on the Runge-Kutta iterative method and Hamilton’s principle, the nonlinear amplitude-frequency response of the system is calculated while taking into account the influence of the compound biaxial eccentricity, as well as the stiffness and radial clearance of the inter-shaft bearing. …”
