Gauldiana arantia Khalaim & Ward 2018, sp. nov.
No full textGauldiana arantia Khalaim & Ward, sp. nov. (Figs 29, 88–93) Comparison. The new species is similar to G. nigra as both have predominantly orange mesosoma and ovipositor stronger upcurved at extreme apex (Figs 29, 34), but differs from this species by the extensively orange head (Figs 88–90), flagellum slightly clavate and with fewer flagellomeres (Fig. 88), and longer ovipositor. Description. Female. Body length 3.3 mm. Fore wing length 2.55 mm. Head with gena in dorsal view about 0.8× as long as eye width (Fig. 90), centrally with very shallow granulation, almost smooth and weakly shining. Clypeus lenticular, finely granulate, finely and sparsely punctate in upper part. Flagellum slightly clavate, with 16–17 flagellomeres (Fig. 88). Mandible not twisted, with upper tooth distinctly longer than lower tooth. Malar space 0.5–0.7× as long as basal mandibular width. Mesosoma with notaulus and foveate groove absent. Propodeum with basal part as long as or slightly shorter than the apical area (Fig. 91). Apical area narrow, about 1.4–1.5× as long as maximally broad. Fore wing with vein R1 almost reaching tip of the wing. Vein 2m-cu interstitial. Hind wing with vein cu1&cu- a slightly reclivous. First metasomal tergite about 3.0× as long as posteriorly broad. Second tergite slightly elongate, about 1.2× as long as anteriorly broad. Ovipositor apically somewhat stronger upcurved (Fig. 92); sheath about twice as long as hind tibia. Head orange, inter-ocellar area darkened. Mandible (teeth blackish), palpi, scape and pedicel of antenna and tegula yellow, clypeus yellowish orange, flagellum blackish. Mesosoma predominanly orange with variable ammount of reddish brown marks. Legs yellow, hind coxa basally or entirely brownish. Metasoma (including first tergite) orange-brown to dark brown. Male. Head and mesosoma usually darker than in female (Fig. 93), sometimes only lower face and lower genae orange, and upper orbits slightly paler. Mesosoma sometimes predominantly dark reddish brown with orange-brown marks on pronotum, upper mesopleuron, mesoscutum and scutellum. Flagellum with 16–19 flagellomeres, filiform. Molecular data. One specimen with a partial CO1, and a 28S sequence (NZAC 04034511). Etymology. The species is named from the Latin arantius (orange) on account of its extensive orange colouration.

The effect of the through-the-thickness compressive stress on mode II interlaminar fracture toughness
No full textThe effect of through-the-thickness compressive stress on the mode II interlaminar fracture toughness is investigated experimentally and replicated numerically. The modified Transverse Crack Tensile specimen recently proposed by the authors is used, together with an experimental device designed to apply a constant transverse compressive stress on the surface of the specimen. Experiments are conducted using IM7/8552 specimens for different compressive stresses, ranging from 0 to 100 MPa, covering all the practical applications commonly encountered in the aeronautical industry (e.g., tightened filled holes or bolted joints). It is shown that the mode II interlaminar fracture toughness increases with the applied compressive through-the-thickness stress. Finally, experiments are replicated using appropriate numerical models based on cohesive elements that take into account frictional effects. A good agreement between numerical predictions and experiments is found.</p
