EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE INFLUENCE OF BLUNTING CRACK TIP ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CT SPECIMENS by ZHANG ZhuWu, XU ChengWei, LI Wei, GUO LiPing, PAN GuangGuo

“…The experimental results show that the fracture toughness value,the maximum fracture value,the plastic component and the maximum displacement calculated by the tip crack are all smaller than the corresponding values of the blunting crack. The blunting zone formed at the crack tip is conducive to inhibiting crack propagation and improving the ability to resist fracture,which can achieve the purpose of crack arrest. …”

E-business tools adoption and export performance: Empirical evidence from Croatian companies by Mirna Leko Šimić, Antun Biloš, Josipa Mijoč

“…However, it should be noted that three e-business tools adoption factors positively correlate with export performance: namely (1) e-mail use for correspondence with partners/suppliers/buyers, (2) use of the internet as a promotional tool for foreign markets and (3) e-payment use. Two remaining e-business tools adoption factors that were measured – (1) use of the internet as an information source on foreign markets/buyers/suppliers and (2) online ordering/sales, did not record a significant correlation with export performance. …”

Effect of Organic Material Type and Proportion on the Physical and Mechanical Properties of Vegetation-Concrete by Daxiang Liu, Baohua Zhang, Yueshu Yang, Wennian Xu, Yu Ding, Zhenyao Xia

“…It can be concluded that organic material with a large grain size is not suitable for use in vegetation-concrete directly and needs to be crushed before use to prevent crack formation. The research results also show that the rates of increase in porosity decrease with more organic material added, while the rates of decrease in the unconfined compressive strength and the elasticity modulus increase. …”

A BDDC Preconditioner for the Rotated Q1 FEM for Elliptic Problems with Discontinuous Coefficients by Yaqin Jiang

“…In the framework of the standard additive Schwarz methods, we describe this method by a complete variational form. We show that our method has a quasioptimal convergence behavior; that is, the condition number of the preconditioned problem is independent of the jumps of the coefficients and depends only logarithmically on the ratio between the subdomain size and the mesh size. …”
