Damage Evolution of Steel-Polypropylene Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Concrete: Experimental and Numerical Investigation by Lihua Xu, Cuimei Wei, Biao Li

“…Based on the unloading stiffness degradation process, analytical equations were, respectively, proposed to generalize the damage progression of HFRC under compression and tension, with the effects of hybrid fiber taken into consideration. Finally, the proposed uniaxial damage evolution equations combined with the calibrated concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) model in ABAQUS were used to predict the responses of HFRC materials and structural members subjected to shear and seismic loads. …”

DISCOURSE OF POWER AND DISCOURSE OF MASSES IN MODERN PHILOSOPHICAL ANTHROPOLOGY: CULTURAL, BIOLOGICAL AND RELIGIOUS DIMENSIONS by S. R. Karpenko

“…In conclusions it is indicated that the anthropic space of the contemporary mass human is narrowing significantly, because the individuals’ participation in technology of society management is finally excluded. On this basis even the key aspect of mass discourse breaks – the mass narrations about the power, because the power performs the direct intervention in the mass discourse structure of sense-creation by the way of suggestion.…”
