Characteristics of Anupam Sud's art
No full textAnupam Sud is considered as one of the greatest contemporary artists in India. The author makes polish readers more familiar with this artist. We focused on Sud's main works – graphics, paintings and even a sculpture. The article contains discussion about one of Sud’s most widely used motifs– a woman in search of shakti. Moreover, it covers issues of human depravity, one’s contempt for another, and primarily it points out main problem being faced by Hindu women in a patriarchal society. We draw attention to the most characteristic features of Anupam Sud’s work – artwork as manifested (by which Sud tries to draw attention to the Hindu woman’s situation), chiaroscuro and anatomy.Anupam Sud jest zaliczana do grona najwybitniejszych współczesnych artystów w Indiach. Autorka w swoim tekście przybliża postać mało znaną polskiemu czytelnikowi. Omawia główne jej dzieła – graficzne, malarskie i jedną rzeźbiarską. Snuje rozważania na temat jednego z popularnych typów przedstawień kobiecych, chętnie ukazywanego przez artystkę – kobiety, która poszukuje śakti. Ponadto porusza problem zepsucia człowieka, gardzenia drugim, a przede wszystkim wskazuje na problemy, jakie towarzyszą Induskom w patriarchalnym społeczeństwie. Autorka prezentuje najbardziej charakterystyczne cechy twórczości Anupam Sud: szczegółowe przedstawianie anatomii, mistrzowskie operowanie światłocieniem oraz dzieła-manifesty, którymi graficzka stara się zwrócić uwagę odbiorców na sytuację kobiet w Indiach
A parameter back-calculation technique for pavements under moving loads
No full textMaintenance and rehabilitation strategies of pavements are usually made based on the results of performance evaluation. An efficient tool for pavement structural evaluation at network level is the traffic speed deflectometer (TSD) test. In order to deal with TSD measurements, this paper proposes a parameter back-calculation technique. Firstly, the sensitivity of the surface response for an elastic pavement structure with hysteretic damping to different structural parameters is investigated. Then, the ability of the parameter backcalculation technique is verified by conducting a case study. The results show that the proposed technique is able to back-calculate the structural parameters of pavements by analysing TSD measurements. The presented work contributes to the development of parameter back-calculation techniques for the TSD test.Accepted author manuscriptPavement EngineeringDynamics of Structure
