Reconstruction of 3D Micro Pore Structure of Coal and Simulation of Its Mechanical Properties by Guang-zhe Deng, Rui Zheng

“…The numerical simulation study of reconstructed pore model shows that (1) the porosity and the compressive strength have obvious nonlinear relation and satisfy the negative exponential relation; (2) the porosity significantly affects the stress distribution; with the increase of micro porosity, the stress distribution becomes nonuniform; (3) the compressive failures of different models are mainly shear failures, and the shape of fracture section is related to porosity; (4) the variation of seepage coefficient of the pore reconstruction model is consistent with the development of micro cracks. …”

Refugee Theater and Its Transgressions: Acts of Suspension in Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson’s The Jungle by Anna Street

“…It questions how theatrical representation can rise to the task of self-disavowal while retaining its urgency. By focusing on the myriad obstacles to be overcome both in the use of theatre within refugee workshop settings and upon major-venue stages, this approach highlights theater’s extraordinary double-bind in these contexts, offering a reading of The Jungle that foregrounds theater’s transgressive capacity to stage its own renunciation, thus freeing representation from many of its self-inflicted limitations.…”
