RESEARCH ON DYNAMIC AND STATIC STIFFNESS CHARACTERISTICS OF MESH ELASTIC PAD by ZHAO Feng, HE ZhenXing, SHI GuangTian, CHEN QingChao, ZHOU HuaLong, WANG BinCang

“…The results show that: under the condition of constant mesh aperture,with the increase of mesh wall thickness,the static stiffness of elastic cushion plate increases and the ratio of dynamic stiffness to static stiffness decreases; under the condition of constant mesh wall thickness,with the increase of mesh aperture,the static stiffness of elastic cushion plate decreases and the ratio of dynamic stiffness to static stiffness increases;compare with the traditional grooved elastic cushion plate with similar static stiffness,the meshed elastic cushion plate has the characteristics of lower dynamic and static stiffness,smaller maximum stress value and more uniform stress distribution.Therefore,reasonable adjustment of mesh wall thickness and aperture size can make mesh elastic cushion plate suitable for track structures with different stiffness requirements,and the application of mesh structure to under rail elastic cushion plate can enhance the force transmission characteristics of cushion plate and prolong the service life of cushion plate.…”

Plateformes de billetterie : une nouvelle étape dans l’industrialisation de la musique vivante ? by Philippe Bouquillion, Olivier Thuillas, Louis Wiart

“…In fact, the ticketing activity is at the heart of the strategies developed by large groups, which contributes inserting live music into financial and industrial dynamics, thus giving them a particularly significant market power. However, music professionals, and more specifically live music stages and operas, seek to reclaim ticketing services in order to maintain control over their data while keeping close ties with their audience.…”
