The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
Harmonic forms and spinors on the Taub-bolt space
No full textThis paper studies the space of L2 harmonic forms and L2 harmonic spinors on Taub-bolt, a Ricci-flat Riemannian 4-manifold of ALF type. We prove that the space of harmonic square-integrable 2-forms on Taub-bolt is 2-dimensional and construct a basis. We explicitly find all L2 zero modes of D̸ A , the Dirac operator twisted by an arbitrary L2 harmonic connection A, and independently compute the index of D̸ A . We compare our results with those known in the case of Taub-NUT and Euclidean Schwarzschild as these manifolds present interesting similarities with Taub-bolt. In doing so, we generalise known results concerning harmonic spinors on Euclidean Schwarzschild
Rationale for simplifying the strength formulae for the design of multi-row bolted connections failing in net tension
No full textHart-Smith [1] developed a set of closed form strength formulae for a semi-empirical approach to determine the net tension strength of multi-row bolted connections with composite materials. Mottram [2] showed that, for a pultruded fibre reinforced polymer material, the approach to be reliable (and conservative) for the configuration comprising two rows with a single bolt per row. This led to the formulae being developed into clauses in an American pre-standard for Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) of Pultruded Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Structures [3]. Because the expressions in the Hart-Smith formulae are not simple, the message coming from the practitioners, on the ASCE/SEI Fiber Composites And Polymers Standards committee (FCAPS) tasked with developing the pre-standard [3] into a standard, is that they would not use them when designing bolted connections. Taking stock of the specified geometries, bolt details and design parameters permitted by the pre-standard [3] the author conducted an analytical
parametric study using the Hart-Smith formulae with the aim of establishing simplified forms that could be routinely used in the design office. Presented in this paper is the provenance to this code-specific work when the connection has more than a single row of bolts. A presentation is given to what has been lost, in terms of calculated net tension strength, by providing the
simplified strength formula in the mandatory part to the standard. To enable the designer to be able to take full advantage of the Hart-Smith design approach [1, 2], the ‘complicated’ formulae and their accompanying mandatory-style text are to be found in an appendix with the standard’s commentary [3]
Vibration-Based Bolt Tension Estimation for Multi-bolt Joints
No full textCritical bolted connections exist in many engineering structures, from pressurized pipelines to wind turbines. Often there are legal demands for maintaining necessary bolt tension in such joints to prevent failure. The available tools for tightening makes it challenging to obtain the correct tension in a bolt, as well as subsequently checking if a bolt is in fact tightened to the correct level. Recent work proposes to use vibrations for estimating tension in a bolt. Estimation is possible by measuring and analysing transverse natural frequencies and damping ratios induced by e.g. a transversal or longitudinal hammer impact on the bolt itself. The work so far has focused on a single bolt. Most bolted joints consist of many bolts, e.g. a flange connection often has a ring of almost identical bolts. Identical bolts, with almost the same tension, will also have very similar boundary conditions and thus almost the same natural frequencies. If there is only very light damping between two adjoining bolts, a frequency response measured on one bolt after an impact might include the vibrational response of both bolts (the coupling might even be so strong that the two bolts cannot be viewed as entities on their own) leading to the question: How to separate which frequencies belong to which bolt

The extended thermodynamic properties of a topological Taub–NUT/Bolt–AdS spaces
No full textAbstractWe consider higher dimensional topological Taub–NUT/Bolt–AdS solutions where a cosmological constant is treated as a pressure. The thermodynamic quantities of these solutions are explicitly calculated. Furthermore, we find these thermodynamic quantities satisfying the Clapeyron equation. In particular, a new thermodynamically stable region for the NUT solution is found by studying the Gibbs free energy. Intriguingly, we also find that like the AdS black hole case, the G−T diagram of the Bolt solution has two branches which are joined at a minimum temperature. The Bolt solution with the large radius, at the lower branch, becomes stable beyond a certain temperature while the Bolt solution with the small radius, at the upper branch, is always unstable
