A Coupled Elastoplastic Damage Dynamic Model for Rock by Xuelong Hu, Ming Zhang, Xiangyang Zhang, Min Tu, Zhiqiang Yin, Haifeng Ma, Minke Duan

“…In this model, unified strength theory is taken as the yield criterion; to reflect the different damage evolution law of rocks under tension and pressure conditions, the effective plastic strain and volumetric plastic strain are used to represent the compressive damage variable and the equivalent plastic strain is used to represent the tensile damage variable; the plastic hardening behavior and strain rate effect of rocks are characterized by piecewise function and dynamic increase factor function, respectively; Fortran language and LS-DYNA User-Defined Interface (Umat) are used to numerically implement the constitutive model; the constitutive model is verified by three classical examples of rock uniaxial and triaxial compression tests, rock uniaxial tensile test, and rock ballistic test. …”

Person Reference in Iranian Sistani Narrative Texts by Farideh Okati

“…The result shows that, apart from the frequent usage of proper noun for emphasis, the anaphoric zero has the highest range of occurrence and is the highest accessible marker in the context, and this violation, relating the ‘government and binding’ theory of Chomsky (1981), occurs because the discontinuity conditions, such as end of the clause-chain, does not force the anaphoric pronoun or proper noun to be used where they are expected to be. …”
