    Describes problems Schmidt was having with a razor (for shaving) that Aranson had repaired.The Willard Schmidt collection, documents some of the administrative duties of Willard Schmidt, the Chief of Internal Security for the War Relocation Authority and the Tule Lake incarceration/segregation camp. This collection contains administrative records and photos documenting the Tule Lake camp, the largest incarceration camp with a peak population of 18,789 and with the most turbulent history. In 1943, the camp was turned into a segregation center to house "disloyal" Japanese Americans relocated from other camps based on their answers to a confusing loyalty questionnaire. The camp endured martial law from November 1943- Jan 1944 after escalating protests and unrest. The hostile environment of the camp lead to many incarcerees renouncing their American citizenship upon the end of incarceration, a process which took 14 years to reverse if they did not wish to be deported to Japan

    On an Eigendeformation Approach to Brittle Fracture

    No full text
    The paper presents a numerical implementation of a novel approximation scheme for Griffith’s theory of brittle fracture recently proposed in Schmidt et al. (2009). The total potential energy of a brittle body (including bulk and surface terms) is variationally approximated by a family of functionals, depending on a small penalty parameter ". The (two-field) approximating functionals have as arguments the displacement field u and an eigendeformation field. The latter describes the regions of the body under high strains, where fracture will occur. Gamma-convergence of such a family of functionals to Griffith’s energy has been proved in Schmidt et al. (2009). Here we investigate numerical examples for the quasi-static crack propagation in mixed modes I-II and I-III, through finite element approximation, illustrating the main computational features of the eigenfracture approach

    Calls for special meeting of the Project Director, Advisory Council, and Co-ordinating Committee to discuss Committee recommendations, and refers to four attached memoranda, each from Co-ordinating Committee 1608-A to R. [Raymond] R. Best, Project Director, dated February 2, 1944 and written by Byron Akitsuki, Executive Secretary. Subjects of the memoranda are: Receipt of Red Cross Gift [of soy sauce]; Nomination of Temporary Police Commissioners; Creation of New Employment Opportunities; and Preparation for Referendum Votes prior to the Replacement of this Committee. The latter memo states that a referendum, which would give incarcerees a voice in the Center's management, would help to overcome negative feelings.The Willard Schmidt collection, documents some of the administrative duties of Willard Schmidt, the Chief of Internal Security for the War Relocation Authority and the Tule Lake incarceration/segregation camp.
