"Sustaining Recovery--Medium-term Prospects and Policies for the U.S. Economy"
Though recent market activity and housing reports give some warrant for optimism, United States economic growth was only 2.8 percent in the third quarter, and the unemployment rate is still very high. In their new Strategic Analysis, the Levy Institute's Macro-Modeling Team project that high unemployment will continue to be a problem if fiscal stimulus policies expire and deficit reduction efforts become the policy focus. The authors--President Dimitri B. Papadimitriou and Research Scholars Greg Hannsgen and Gennaro Zezza--argue that continued fiscal stimulus is necessary to reduce unemployment. The resulting federal deficits would be sustainable, they say, as long as they were accompanied by a coordinated and gradual devaluation of the dollar, especially against undervalued Asian currencies--a step necessary to prevent an increase in the current account deficit and ward off the risk of a currency crash.

Advanced Modeling for the Mixed-Mode Delamination of Composite Specimens
In recent years, many engineering components are made of high performance laminated composites and adhesively bonded interfaces. One of the most important damage modes of laminated structures is related to the non-linear and irreversible delamination process, including the formation and propagation of inter-laminar cracks, up to the complete detachment of the adherends. In this context, we address the interfacial delamination problem through an innovative cohesive formulation, named as Enhanced Beam Theory (EBT), where the specimen is considered as an assemblage of two composite sublaminates, partly bonded together by an elastic interface. This last one is represented by a continuous distribution of elastic springs acting along the normal and/or tangential direction, depending on the interfacial mixed-mode condition. This generalizes the idea suggested recently in [1] for a single mode-I delamination, and extended in [2] to include mixed loading, geometrical and mechanical conditions. The problem is here handled numerically through the generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) approach, to determine the delamination onset and propagation along weak interfaces of arbitrary shape, made of composite materials and subjected to mixed-mode conditions. The accuracy of the proposed formulation is verified against analytical predictions and theoretical formulations available in literature [3], [4].
