MIXED FINITE ELEMENT-TIGHT BINDING TECHNIQUE FOR STUDYING THE ELECTROMECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF SINGLE AND MULTIWALL CARBON NANOTUBES
No full textNonlinear structural mechanics based modeling of carbon nanotube deformation
No full textA nonlinear structural mechanics based approach for modeling the structure and the deformation of single-wall and multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is presented. Individual tubes are modeled using shell finite elements, where a specific pairing of elastic properties and mechanical thickness of the tube wall is identified to enable successful modeling with shell theory. The effects of van der Waals forces are simulated with special interaction elements. This new CNT modeling approach is verified by comparison with molecular dynamics simulations and high-resolution micrographs available in the literature. The mechanics of wrinkling of multiwall CNTs are studied, demonstrating the role of the multiwalled shell structure and interwall van der Waals interactions in governing buckling and postbuckling behavior

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
