DELAMINATION BUCKLING AND GROWTH OF COMPOSITE LAMINATED PLATES WITH TRANSVERSE-SHEAR DEFORMATION
No full textAn analytical method was presented to determine the delamination buckling load and the growth of one-dimensional delaminated beam-plates. In this study, the symmetry in delamination with respect to the center of the beam-plate was not assumed. The delamination was arbitrarily located in the longitudinal and thickness directions. The effects of the delamination length, and location on the buckling load and the growth were investigated with consideration of the transverse shear deformation. Results of the analysis showed that the delamination buckling load was dependent on the configuration of the delamination. For the relatively thick delamination, the buckling load of a center located delamination was higher than that of an off-center delamination. The shear deformation effect lowered the buckling loads and increased the energy-release rates. The expreiments on delaminated graphite/epoxy unidirectional specimens were also performed to determine the buckling load and to observe the growth characteristics. Results of the experiments showed good agreement with analytic results and there existed various postbuckling characteristics depending on the configuration of delamination

Modeling of composite laminates with multiple delaminations under compressive loading
No full textMultiple delaminations are more realistic damage types in the laminated composite structures. In this study, buckling and postbuckling analysis was conducted for the composite laminates with multiple delaminations under compressive loading. In a nonlinear finite element formulation, the updated Lagrangian description and modified arc-length method were adopted. For a finite element modeling of composite laminates, the eight-node degenerated shell element was used. To avoid the overlapping between delaminated layers, which is a physically inadmissible buckling mode, the contact node pair was defined by use of virtual beam element. It employed constraints at the overlapped region in the load incremental procedure. Using this modeling of multiple delaminations, accurate results were obtained for the buckling and postbuckling behavior of composite laminates. Numerical results showed that multiple delaminations lower buckling loads and load carrying capacities in the postbuckling region

Buckling and postbuckling behavior of composite cross-ply laminates with multiple delaminations
No full textIn this study, buckling and postbuckling analysis was conducted for the composite cross-ply laminates with multiple delaminations under compressive loading. The geometries of multiple delaminations are a one-dimensional through-the-width type and a two-dimensional embedded circular type. In a nonlinear finite element formulation, the updated Lagrangian description and the modified are-length method were adopted. For a finite element modeling of composite laminates, the eight-node degenerated shell element was used. To avoid overlapping between delaminated areas, the contact node pair was defined by virtual beam element. Numerical results showed that multiple delaminations lower buckling loads and load carrying capacities in the postbuckling region. The buckling load varies with the projected area of the delaminations, However, the geometry of multiple delaminations has an influence on the postbuckling behavior. The load carrying capacity differed with the distribution type due to the local reduction of bending stiffness and the contact behavior of the sublaminates
A Proposal for WM Interprocess Communication
No full textThis report proposes and explores an interprocess synchronization and communication mechanism compatible with the proposed WM protection mechanism -- which is a "capability" based mechanism[Den66]. Despite the advantages of capabilities, early capability systems, including one by the author [Wul80], failed to have a major impact on practical security primarily because of the overhead of domain switching [Col88]. Thus, before committing to a capability mechanism for WM, we want to be sure that we don't make the same mistake again. Thus, this report explores the mechanism in just enough detail to answer whether or not it is practical. Although our main goal is a mechanism for synchronization and communication among protection domains, if possible we would also like a single mechanism that can be used in the place of conventional interrupts, traps, "supervisor calls", entries to protected subsystems, and simple user-to-user interprocess communication. The mechanism we will explore is much-simplified version of the Ada rendezvous [Ada83] in which the WM hardware performs all of the the necessary housekeeping, but software is still able to specify macroscopic policy decisions. At the outset, we stipulate that what we propose may be "too much to put into hardware". But it may not. Our purpose here is to define the mechanism is sufficient detail to be able to meaningfully ask and answer the question "is a hardware implementation practical and desirable"
Tools of using social media in business-to-business marketing and branding
No full textTässä opinnäytetyössä tarjotaan ohjeita yrityksille kuinka he voivat paremmin markkinoida ja brändätä tuotteitansa. Nämä ohjeet koostuvat erilaisten sosiaalisen median alustojen hyödyntämisestä, joista pääasiassa keskitytään Instagramin ja YouTuben hyödyntämiseen toimeksiantajan pyynnöstä.
Tämä opinnäytetyö on tehty WM-Plast Oy:n pyynnöstä ja heidän omistamaa Evermatic -tuotelinjaa ajatellen. WM-Plast Oy on suomalainen yritys, jonka päätoimipiste sijaitsee Suomessa Kankaanpäässä. Tämä työ tehtiin osana oppilasprojektia jossa yritykselle toteutettiin markkinatutkimus vuoden 2019 aikana. Yhtenä markkinatutkimuksen loppupäätelmistä todettiin yrityksen huono näkyvyys sosiaalisen median kanavissa ja yritys ilmaisi halunsa kehittää tätä opinnäytetyön avulla. Tämän työn tarkoitus on siis ohjata WM-Plast tuottamaan parempaa mainontaa tuotteilleen. Tutkimalla näitä markkinointimetodeja, pyritään tarjoamaan tietoa siitä minkälaisia mahdollisuuksia nämä alustat tarjoavat, mitä eri vaihtoehtoja WM-Plast voi hyödyntää harjoittaessaan online-markkinointia, ja mitä tämä voisi tuottaa yritykselle tulevaisuudessa.
Tämän tutkimuksen metodina käytettiin määrällistä tutkimusta. Työ on rakennettu niin että ensimmäiset kappaleet käyvät läpi markkinointi- ja brändäysmahdollisuuksia näiltä sivustoilta. Tämän lisäksi kirjoittaja käy läpi terminologiaa ja eri tavoitteita yrityksen näkökulmasta. Lopuksi tutkimuksen jälkeen kirjoittaja tarjoaa ehdotuksia, kuinka näitä asioita pystyttäisiin hyödyntämään yrityksen nykyisen markkinoinnin osana tai lisänä.In this bachelor thesis, the author will provide an outline for companies on how they can utilize different tools in their efforts when marketing and branding their products in social media. These tools consist of different kinds of social platforms, and the main focus will be set on Instagram and Youtube as requested by the commissioning Company.
The thesis is done based on the request of WM-Plast and their Evermatic line of products. WM-Plast oy is a Finnish company based in Kankaanpää, Finland. The author was part of a project where a group of students provided market research for the commissioning company during the year 2019, and as one of the results from the project noticed that there was a need for the company to improve appearance on social media to provide better promotion for their products. By researching these different marketing methods, the author aims to offer insight on what these kinds of channels are capable of, what different options the company has when applying online marketing, and what this could generate for the commissioning company.
The methodology of this thesis is to first inspect the marketing and branding capabilities of these sites. Explaining the terms in-depth and what the actual targets should be from a business perspective. This is done through quantitative research and will be concluded by giving suggestions on how this can be implemented in the current marketing strategy of WM-Plast Oy
Spatial Metaphors of Ambiguity in Roman Culture
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from the Paideia Institute via the link in this recordThis chapter takes a somewhat different approach to the topic of ambiguity in Latin literature from
the others in this volume. Taking as a given that Latin speakers were mindful of the capacity of
some words, phrases, and even whole sentences to convey multiple different meanings, other
chapters examine a range of literary settings where lexical or syntactic ambiguities appear to be
exploited deliberately by Latin authors for imaginative aims. I equally assume an awareness of
ambiguity on the part of Latin speakers, but in this paper I interrogate how they conceived of this
and other types of multiplicity of meaning.1
In other words, I look at how Latin speakers went
about representing ambiguity to themselves and how they understood ambiguity as part of their
experience generally. I start by showing that Latin speakers’ conventional understanding of
ambiguity is delivered metaphorically via the image of PATHS DIVERGING. I also show, however,
that in certain technical contexts the image of CENTRALITY is used, permitting the delineation of
two different kinds of ambiguous meaning relations. I go on to argue that what provides the
motivation for, and thus makes sense of, these twin images is Latin’s regular conceptualization of
“meaning” itself in terms of a linear spatial metaphor. I conclude by suggesting that Latin’s spatial
metaphorics of ambiguity anticipate certain aspects of contemporary linguistic theory – but also
more than this: that it constituted a feature of Roman society’s signifying order, contributing to the
valuation of this phenomenon in the culture
Contradiction of Ideas in George Bernard Shaws Mrs Warrens Profession
No full textMrs Warrens Profession categorized as play unpleasant by its author George Bernard Shaw, is
one of world most famous and controversial plays. The play, unlike other play during its era,
uses the corruption and hypocrisy from the upper class of Victorian Era society as the theme.
The play is purposed by the author as a scathing criticism to its theme. This purpose is
materialized on the ideas represented by the two major female characters in the play. Uniquely,
these ideas differs greatly to one on another until it looks like a there is decent contradiction on
it. From this point, this paper aims at finding out ideas represented by the two major female
characters. There are two major female characters being analyzed, Vivie Warren, a Cambridge
graduate and Mrs Warren, both Vivie Warrens estranged mother and a brothel owner. The
finding of the major female characters ideas takes lengthy but worthful steps. The writer first has
to read the script of the play five times. The first and second one are to know the overall of the
drama and take notes of interesting things on the play. When the writer does those two steps
above he also selects the narrations and dialogs in the play are related to the topics and also reads
and analyzes other books and sources related to the topics of the thesis. Those steps above are
essential to gather data that will be used to reveal setting, characters, plot and, theme of the play
in order to do the analysis. He later read the play three more times to group the topics on the
play, categorizes the idea of the major female characters and make sure all ideas are on its
correct place
