Surrealism’s Curiosity: Lewis Carroll and the Femme-Enfant
No full textThis paper concerns surrealist artists' and writers' appropriation of Lewis Carroll. Predominantly focusing on the work of Dorothea Tanning and Max Ernst, it suggests that Carroll's work appealed to the surrealists' fascination with their childhood selves, and their wish to identify with the curious character of Alice as femme-enfant as a way of subverting their bourgeois family backgrounds. Whether stepping Through the Looking Glass or breaking the rules in Wonderland, Alice can be read as a transgressive character apt for surrealist appropriation. The paper traces Carroll's reception in the surrealist movement, and articulates the curious character of the surrealist femme-enfant in order to reinscribe her epistemophilia in line with surrealism's orientation towards research
Fatigue characterisation of FRP structural tee joints
No full textJoints are a necessity in the construction of large structures such as ships. In the context of Fibre Reinforced Plastics (FRP), joints present a site of potential weakness due to material and geometric discontinuities. This problem is most significant in out-of-plane joints were stresses can occur in the materials weaker through-thickness direction. It is important therefore that the behaviour of these type of joints is fully understood. A substantial body of literature exists concerning their static behaviour but very little exits concerned with their long term fatigue behaviour. The aim of this thesis is to present an understanding of the long term fatigue behaviour of a particular out-of-plane joint, the single skin tee joint.As a first step in understanding the fatigue behaviour of tee joints, further static experimentation of four different joint configurations is presented. This helps fill the gaps in the knowledge of static load transfer mechanisms using thermoelastic and photoelastic techniques to produce novel full field pictures of through-thickness stress and strain distributions. The static experimental results also provide a first point on the fatigue load-life curve for each joint configuration. Extensive fatigue experimentation is then presented for the same four tee joint configurations. Uniquely, load-life curves and stiffness degradation, residual strength degradation and energy dissipation through life results are presented for the tee joints subjected both to constant loading and two-step loading fatigue. Damage processes and failure mechanisms are also highlighted in detail, as never before. Theoretical analysis of the tee joints is presented in two parts as internal behaviour predictions and global behaviour predictions. Internal behaviour is modelled using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The results are used in a novel manner of tee joints to provide a means of understanding and predicting the damage processes and failure mechanisms seen during experimentation. Global behaviour is modelled using a new method based on energy dissipation as a damage indicator. This method gives relatively good predictions of two step load fatigue lives compared to existing theoretical approaches. Furthermore a second new method of global fatigue behaviour prediction is proposed for use as a design tool.</p
Michael Lewis: Journalist and Bestselling Author
No full textMichael Lewis is a New York Times bestselling author who has written more than a dozen books on subjects ranging from politics to Wall Street. His recently released book, Fifth Risk, explores mismanagement in federal government.
His other books include The Big Short, Moneyball and The Blind Side - all of which were made into movies. Another, Liar\u27s Poker, was based partly on his experience as a bond salesman at Salomon Brothers.
Lewis is a sharp observer of politics, finance and the evolution of American culture, combining keen insight with a sharp sense of humor. He is a columnist for Bloomberg News and a contributing writer to Vanity Fair. His articles have also appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker and Sports Illustrated
