    No full text
    The article deals with various types of dialogue of cultures in the songs by Veronika Dolina. The genre of “author song” (Russian and Soviet singer-songwriters’ works) is analysed as a special kind of dialogue with listeners as well as with history and culture. In particular, the author interprets and places in intertextual context three songs by Dolina: ‘The Aunt Told Me’, ‘On the Death of A. D. S.’ and ,The Cardinal Is Still Young’

    Nonconforming Dirichlet boundary conditions in implicit material point method by means of penalty augmentation

    No full text
    In many geomechanics applications, material boundaries are subjected to large displacements and deformation. Under these circumstances, the application of boundary conditions using particle methods, such as the material point method (MPM), becomes a challenging task since material boundaries do not coincide with the background mesh. This paper presents a formulation of penalty augmentation to impose nonhomogeneous, nonconforming Dirichlet boundary conditions in implicit MPM. The penalty augmentation is implemented utilizing boundary particles, which can move either according to or independently from the material deformation. Furthermore, releasing contact boundary condition, as well as the capability to accommodate slip boundaries, is introduced in the current work. The accuracy of the proposed method is assessed in both 2D and 3D cases, by convergence analysis reaching the analytical solution and by comparing the results of nonconforming and classical grid-conforming simulations

    A staggered Material Point Method and Finite Element Method ocoupling scheme using Gauss Seidel communication pattern

    No full text
    The goal of the present work is the simulation mass movement hazards, involving fast and large soil deformation, interacting with exible protection structures. For the simulation of those large deformation phenomena, involving complex history dependent material laws, the Material Point Method (MPM) is a powerful method, as the particles move trough a fixed background mesh. This allows to overcome the classical limitation of the Finite Element Method (FEM) related to mesh distortion in large strain problems. Therefore, a staggered or partitioned coupling scheme is proposed, combining the advantages of FEM and MPM by solving both models separately using their respective established environment, whereas the communication between the two fields is achieved by mapping boundary conditions on the shared interface. In this work a Gauss-Seidel communication pattern is considered, leading to the necessity of imposing Dirichlet Boundary Conditions on one interface (in this study: FEM) and Neumann Boundary Conditions on the corresponding counterpart (in this study: MPM). For validation purposes, a structural example with analytical solution is chosen

    Lagrange multiplier imposition of non-conforming essential boundary conditions in implicit material point method

    No full text
    The Material Point Method (MPM) is an established and powerful numerical method particularly useful for simulating large-scale, rapid soil deformations. Therefore, it is often used for the numerical investigation of mass movement hazards such as landslides, debris flows, or avalanches. It combines the benefits of both mesh-free and mesh-based continuum-based discretization techniques by discretizing the physical domain with Lagrangian moving particles carrying the history-dependent variables while the governing equations are solved at the Eulerian background grid, which brings many similarities with commonly used finite element methods. However, due to this hybrid nature, the material boundaries do not usually coincide with the nodes of the computational grid, which complicates the imposition of boundary conditions. Furthermore, the position of the boundary may change at each time step and, moreover, may be defined at arbitrary locations within the computational grid that do not necessarily coincide with the body contour, leading to different interactions between the material and the boundary. To cope with these challenges, this paper presents a novel element-wise formulation to weakly impose non-conforming Dirichlet conditions using Lagrange multipliers. The proposed formulation introduces a constant Lagrange multiplier approximation within the constrained elements in combination with a methodology to eliminate superfluous constraints. Therefore, in combination with simple element-wise interpolation functions classically utilized in MPM (and FEM) to approximate the unknown field, a suitable Lagrange multiplier discretization is obtained. In this way, we obtain a robust, efficient, and user-friendly boundary imposition method for immersed methods specified herein for implicit MPM. Furthermore, the extension to frictionless slip conditions is derived. The proposed methodologies are assessed by comparing the numerical results with both analytical and experimental data to demonstrate their accuracy and wide range of applications

    Singer of Graces: the Gallant Montesquieu (“The Temple Of Gnidos” and “Journey To Paphos”)

    No full text
    The article represents the first academic study of two early Montesquieu’s works — “The Temple of Gnidos” (1725) and “Journey to Paphos” (1727). Under the guise of ancient heroes and gods these “novels with a key” portray real people easily recognizable by contemporaries — the author himself and his entourage. Mixing reality and fiction, Greek and Roman gods, using allegories, Montesquieu creates a “possible impossible world,” characteristic for the Baroque literature of the 17th century. The term was proposed by L. Dolezel, the founder of the theory of “possible worlds,” which allows a deeper understanding of how Montesquieu portrays an ideal world, opposed to the French reality, which he criticizes, as in his first novel “Persian Letters.” However, such features as fragmentation, frivolity, double meaning, hedonism are characteristic of the Rococo aesthetics that took shape in France at the beginning of the 18th century. These features are also inherent to such recognized author’s masterpieces as “Persian Letters” and “The Spirit of Laws” which prove out the unity of his artistic manner. Montesquieu’s early works clearly demonstrate the connection between the Baroque and the Rococo and represent the future author of the “Spirit of Laws” with a completely different side as a “singer of Graces” who contributed to the formation of a new aesthetics
