Family Justice Systems, Social Behaviour and Financial Arrangements after Divorce in the Netherlands
No full textThe subject we delve into concerns such a familiar situation that it is best illustrated by a standard Dutch case: A husband, John (47) and wife Mary (45) have a typical Dutch division of labour: John works five days a week and Mary three days a week. Mary works as a teacher at a primary school (before their marriage, she worked full-time) and John is a doctor, and he often works overtime and at night. They have two children: Paul (2006) and Ellen (2008) and live in a house that John bought in 2005. They married in 2007 and they did not conclude a prenuptial agreement. In July 2021, when the children are 14 and 13, the marriage breaks down.Much has been written in the socio-legal academic literature about the subject of the financial position of spouses after divorce and its gender connotation. The first wave of publications was in the 1960s and 1970s when the number of divorces surged in Western Europe. Women increasingly took on paid employment during and after the First and Second World War, which meant that they became more self-sufficient. This lowered the barriers to divorce. Also, new, less strict legal requirements for divorce were introduced (Maclean, 1991: 4; Eekelaar, 1978). Finally, pressure groups for women’s rights were an important force behind the legal possibility to leave an unhappy marriage (or to not marry at all). From the start, there was also a concern for the position of the financially weaker spouse, which was often the woman. In the 1980s and 1990s, new publications appeared as more became known about the legal and socio-economic consequences of divorce. ‘Ironically the prosperity that enables family ties to weaken and individual aspirations to be pursued is followed by widespread poverty after divorce for women and children’ (Maclean, 1991: 128). Bastard and Cardia-Vonèche carried out interviews which found different coping mechanisms of divorced French womenwith children (Maclean 1991: 119–20); see for a more detailed account: Bastard and Cardia Vonèche, 1988 and Bastard, Cardia-Vonèche and Maclean, 1988)...
Attitude motion planning for a spin stabilised disk sail
No full textWhile solar sails are capable of providing continuous low thrust propulsion the size and flexibility of the sail structure poses difficulties to their attitude control. Rapid slewing of the sail can cause excitation of structural modes, resulting in flexing and oscillation of the sail film and a subsequent loss of performance and decrease in controllability. Disk shaped solar sails are particularly flexible as they have no supporting structure and so these spacecraft must be spun around their major axis to stiffen the sail membrane via the centrifugal force. In addition to stiffening the structure this spin stabilisation also provides gyroscopic stiffness to disturbances, aiding the spacecraft in maintaining its desired attitude. A method is applied which generates smooth reference motions between arbitrary orientations for a spin-stabilised disk sail. The method minimises the sum square of the body rates of the spacecraft, therefore ensuring that the generated attitude slews are slow and smooth, while the spin stabilisation provides gyroscopic stiffness to disturbances. An application of Pontryagin’s maximum principle yields an optimal Hamiltonian which is completely solvable in closed form. The resulting analytical expressions are a function of several free parameters enabling parametric optimisation to be used to provide reference motions which match prescribed boundary conditions on the initial and final configurations. The generated reference motions are utilised in the repointing of a 70m radius spin-stabilised disk solar sail in a heliocentric orbit, with the aim of assessing the feasibility of the motion planning method in terms of the control torques required to track the motions
