Correlations between Distribution of Producer Services and Urban Built Environment in Metro Station Areas: A Case of Xi’an, China by Qi Zhang, Yu-Jie Zhang, Xin Ding, Qiu-Ping Wang

“…Then, when the producer services were divided into 6 categories of business, POI numbers of enterprises of each category in metro station areas were collected and weighted to calculate the distribution intensity for categories. Finally, on condition that the urban built environment of a metro station area included job and residence space, outdoor activity space, and municipal road space, correlation performances between the distribution intensity of categories and indexes representing 3 space elements of the built environment were calculated through second-order partial correlation analysis, while the corresponding mechanisms of correlations were explained too. …”

Study on the Influence of Water Content on the Shear Behavior of the Soil–Structure Interface Under a Temperature Field by Jian Chen, Hao Jiang, Yongde Liu, Yanting Wu, Xuan Zhang, Weidong Pan

“…Then, the test results were analyzed and discussed. Finally, three results were obtained: (1) The water content of bentonite (<i>w</i>_bent) had a significant impact on the shear stress–shear displacement curve of the soil–structure interface; when the <i>w</i>_bent was less than the <i>w</i>_p of the bentonite, the <i>τ</i>-<i>l</i> curve exhibited a softening response, then displayed a hardening response. (2) The shear strength of the soil–structure interface gradually decreased with the increase of <i>w</i>_bent. (3) The shear strength of the soil–structure interface increased with increasing temperature under various <i>w</i>_bent and vertical loads.…”

Cinéma/Science-fiction : vers un changement de paradigme critique ? by Simon Bréan

“…Secondly, this increased circulation of science fiction images in cinema favors the construction of an interpretive competence of the spectators, and thus makes it possible to create more sophisticated narrative and visual strategies, including in works intended for the general public. Finally, this singularization of science fiction cinema is part of an increasingly complex transmedia continuum, which is historically marked by the classic interactions between literature and cinema, but which does no longer limit itself to these. …”

FATIGUE STRENGTH ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION OF FSC RACING EXHAUST SYSTEM by QI Qi, LIU HaoTian, WU XiaoJian, LUO Cheng

“…The exhaust pipe of engine is subjected to alternating load of low and high temperatures during operation,which is prone to fatigue damage.For the FSC（Formula Student China） racing engine with the highest speed of 11 000 r/min～13 OOOr/min,the exhaust pipe fatigue problem is more serious.In this paper,the FSC racing exhaust system is taken as the research object to analyze its fatigue strength and optimize the exhaust pipe thickness.Firstly,the Fluent software is used to analyze the conjugate heat transfer of the exhaust system to determine the temperature distribution of the exhaust system.Then the temperature distribution is mapped to the finite element mesh of the exhaust system,and the thermal stress and thermal strain are analyzed by finite element technology.Subsequently,two schemes including exhaust manifold " normal operation-parking cooling" cycle and extreme working condition cycle are designed to carry out the thermal cycle simulation.It is found that the exhaust gas accumulates plastic deformation under the alternating load of each cycle,and the exhaust system will eventually crack and be destroyed.Finally,the fatigue life of the two schemes is studied by using Ansys nCode DesignLife fatigue analysis software.The results show that both schemes effectively reflect the life expectancy of low-cycle fatigue damages under the combined action of exhaust manifold temperature field,thermal stress and strain.Based on the above analysis,the exhaust thickness is optimized by the extreme working condition circulation scheme.and it is verified by experiments that the 1.2 mm thickness steel pipe meets the FSC exhaust requirements.…”
