Letter from Upton Sinclair to Melville L. Kress - June 1, 1939
No full textA letter from Upton Sinclair to Melville Kress, dated June 1, 1939, in which Sinclair writes he has enclosed a letter from Helen Woodward, indicating that it is not a positive response by stating, ""I knew she would do her best. I fear that you and I do not realize how very bad conditions are in the literary market in New York."" Sinclair goes on to offer further assistance to Kress
Letter from Upton Sinclair to Melville L. Kress - November 17, 1943
No full textA brief letter from Upton Sinclair to Melville Kress, dated November 17th, 1943, in which Sinclair sends 'a big batch' of his latest manuscript and a letter Kress requested to read. He includes in pen 'I read Jack London'
Letter from Upton Sinclair to Melville L. Kress - March 8, 1951
No full textA brief letter from Upton Sinclair to Melville Kress, dated March 8th, 1951, in which Sinclair writes he is sending 'a lot of documents from Britain' and a book from France that he thinks Melville will enjoy. He also replies to Melville's comments about Fascism and it's affects on the 'labor movement'. At the end of the letter, Sinclair penned 'I am trying to save your soul'
Letter from Upton Sinclair to Melville L. Kress - November 16, 1936
No full textA letter from Upton Sinclair to Melville Kress, dated November 16, 1936, in which Sinclair admits ""it is quite possible that I have made a mistake about [Dr. Albert] Abrams."" Sinclair was an enthusiastic supporter and staunch defender of Abrams, whose first invention was a diagnosing machine called the ""dynomizer."" Abrams claimed he could diagnose and cure almost any disease. The American Medical Association and Scientific American deemed the machine and its creator fraudulent

The influence of toughening-particles in CFRPs on low velocity impact damage resistance performance
No full textThe role of particle-toughening for increasing impact damage resistance in carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites was investigated. Five carbon fibre reinforced systems consisting of four particle-toughened matrices and one system containing no toughening particles were subjected to low velocity impacts ranging from 25 J to 50 J to establish the impact damage resistance of each material system. Synchrotron radiation computed tomography (SRCT) enabled a novel approach for damage assessment and quantification. Toughening mechanisms were detected in the particle-toughened systems consisting of particle–resin debonding, crack-deflection and crack-bridging. Quantification of the bridging behaviour, increase in crack path length and roughness was undertaken. Out of the three toughening mechanisms measured, particle systems exhibited a larger extent of bridging suggesting a significant contribution of this toughening mechanism compared to the system with no particle
Roughness-and plasticity-induced fatigue crack closure under single overloads: finite element modelling
No full textResults from finite element modelling of plasticity-induced crack closure (PICC) and roughness-induced crack closure (RICC) of fatigue cracks subjected to single overloads are presented. Effects of L/r(p) ratios on RICC, where L and r(p) represent crack asperity length and plastic zone size, respectively, are seen to be functionally similar to results presented previously for constant amplitude fatigue loading [Kamp N.. Parry MR, Singh KD, Sinclair I. Acta Mater 2004;52:343-53], particularly in the saturation of the influence of RICC for L/r(p(OL)) >= I, where r(p(OL)) is the overload plastic zone size. The present work is seen to map out overload regimes where RICC and PICC effects may be expected to influence crack growth transients. Comparisons of modelled and experimental closure levels, and growth rate studies are presented, with the accompanying paper [Singh KD, Khor KH, Sinclair I. Acta Mater (in press)] considering a simplified analytical representation of the effects presented here
The role of particle-toughening in improving post-impact compressive strength
No full textThis work investigates the micromechanisms associated with particle-toughening strategies to improve the damage resistant and damage tolerant performance in carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials. Five material systems were studied; consisting of one untoughened and four particle-toughened systems. Synchrotron radiation computed tomography (SRCT) was used to study the damage micromechanisms in standard 150mm x 100 mm rectangular coupons subjected to 30 J low velocity impact loading. Laboratory based micro-focus computed tomography (?CT) enabled damage assessments and comparison of coupons subjected to low velocity impact, quasi-static indentation and at the onset of compression-after-impact failure. Mechanisms leading to damage resistance and damage tolerance are discussed along with strategies to use these observations to inform finite element models
