A Study of Failure Strength for Fiber-Reinforced Composite Laminates with Consideration of Interface by Junjie Ye, Yuanying Qiu, Xuefeng Chen, Yumin He, Zhi Zhai

“…Composite laminates can exhibit the nonlinear properties due to the fiber/matrix interface debonding and matrix plastic deformation. In this paper, by incorporating the interface stress-displacement relations between fibers and matrix, as well as the viscoplastic constitutive model for describing plastic behaviors of matrix materials, a micromechanical model is used to investigate the failure strength of the composites with imperfect interface bonding. …”

Printing Privileges for Psalters in the Seventeenth-Century Dutch Republic by Nina Geerdink

“…This article argues that this remarkable engagement of psalmists and printers of psalters in the system of printing privileges interacted with the pluralism of the seventeenth-century Dutch religious landscape, showing how the contexts of the privileged psalters diversified: whereas the first privileges were connected to the Dutch Revolt and the creation of a strong Reformed church, later on in the seventeenth century privileged psalters also became important within other churches. …”

The Somali Anti-Piracy Campaign, 2008-2012 by Justus Ondigi, Kenneth Ombongi, George Gona

“…Yet, despite this incongruous reality, states have continued to roll out strategies with hopes of ending piratical vagaries and reforming its attendant criminal economies. While anti-piracy interventions of yore abound, their descriptions have not attracted deserving scholarly scrutiny, an aberration that can be redeemed by contextualizing initiatives taken to curb the fabled Somali piracy. …”

Analysis of Inherent Characteristics of Robot Joint Transmission System by Mo Shuai, Hu Xiaosong, Yang Zhenning, Feng Zhiyou, Li Xu, Zhou Changpeng, Huang Yunsheng

“…The results show that for the modal energy of the system, the total strain energy is the largest at the 15th natural frequency, the overall deformation of the system is the largest, the total kinetic energy is the largest at the 24th natural frequency, and the vibration of the system is the most intense at this natural frequency; the influence of system parameters on natural frequency is mainly reflected in that higher-order natural frequency is obviously affected; affected by the change of system stiffness, some natural frequency trajectory curves gradually approach, and will quickly separate with large curvature near a certain point, resulting in modal transition. …”
