A model, based on the Van Wyk model, is developed to predict the compaction behaviour of stack sequence of dry fabric plies, and is used a set of 3 parameters (stiffness k, pressure sensitivity n and initial fibre ratio Vf0) with P = (k(Vf- Vf))n. The method originality is to construct the behaviour law of a complex stack sequence by the assembly of elementary behaviours. Elementary behaviours are identified using initial experimental compaction tests and are linked to the interaction of a fabric ply with its surrounding environment (another fabric ply or the surface of the compressive mould). This proposed modelling approach have been tested on various carbon, flax and carbon/flax hybrid stack sequence, and seems efficient to predict their compaction behaviour. Its validity is limited to the range of stack sequence of a reduced number of plies. With stack sequence made of numerous fabric plies, some new phenomena must be taken into account. In complement we proposed a method to decompose the compaction behavior curve into three stages (rigid body movement of the fabric plies, nesting of the plies, densification). This method is relevant to compare easily some compaction curves and to evaluate the internal strain state of a stack sequence.

Technicization of human and society, active development of technogenic civilization leads to gradual separation from moral values and principles. These values include ideas of unity and harmony of human with nature, with the surrounding environment, and reasonable, moderate attitude towards natural resources. We believe that humanity should move from the industrial to ecological civilization. The foundations of a new ecophilosophy should become holistic principles, representations of philosophy in general and Buddhism in particular. We outlined basic principles and methods for improving personality of altruistic ethics of Mahayana Buddhism that contribute to human understanding of inseparability, interconnection with the world. We focus on the central Buddhist concept – the absence of an individual ‘I’ that is understood as necessity of recognizing oneself as a separate empirical individual. That is confirmed by a translation of the text PrajnaParamitaHridaya Sutra from Tibetan language. The paper analyzes three types of spiritual personality that correspond to three stages of the Path to awakening. Each stage is a step towards the formation of subjectless consciousness, that is, awareness of universal dependence and responsibility for their actions. The paper argues that for ecological consciousness it is important to form an understanding that the main reason for human existence in not the technosphere, not the economy, but the living nature.

This paper aims to examine a theoretical framework of digital society and the ramifications of the digital revolution. The paper proposes that more attention has to be paid to cultural studies as a means for the understanding of digital society. The approach is based on the idea that the digital revolution’s essence is fully manifested in the cultural changes that take place in society. Cultural changes are discussed in connection with the digital society’s transformations, such as blurring the distinction between reality and virtuality and among people, nature, and artifacts, and the reversal from informational scarcity to abundance. The presented study develops a general model of culture. This model describes the spiritual, social, and technological facets of culture. Such new phenomena as individualization, transparisation, and so-called cognification (intellectualization of the surrounding environment) are suggested as the prominent trends characterizing the above cultural facets.

Non-Smoking Area (KTR) is a policy made by the Ministry of Health to prevent and control the health impacts caused by smoking. Control of health impacts does not only apply to active smokers, but also passive smokers and the surrounding environment exposed to cigarette smoke. The implementation method with the socialization method is an understanding of the condition of smokers in Indonesia and about KTR. In addition, it was conducted with a question and answer session and interviews with health workers and visitors related to cigarettes and KTR. The implementation of this activity is divided into three stages, namely, planning, implementation and evaluation. All health workers and the public understand the dangers of smoking but still carry out smoking activities on the grounds of addiction to cigarettes. KTR socialization provided an understanding that Deli Serdang Regional Hospital had regulations to implement and support KTR issued by the government through the Ministry of Health.

Abstract The study presents an analysis of the manufacturing process of a hollow forging. The process was proposed to consist of three stages. In the first stage (extrusion) wall thickness was reduced and the flange was formed. In the two subsequent stages the flange was formed. The material flow was examined using FEM. The issue of defect occurrence in the area of a hole caused by the material moving away from the mandrel was especially researched. Moreover, the strain state was analysed in the following forging operations. The distribution of the fracture criterion was presented. Moreover, a prediction of the forces necessary for the process to be performed in real conditions was carried out. The conclusion is that the proposed scheme of forming hollow forgings may be implemented in industrial conditions.

The fusion of on-board sensors and transmitted information via inter-vehicle communication has been proved to be an effective way to increase the perception accuracy and extend the perception range of connected intelligent vehicles. The current approaches rely heavily on the accurate self-localization of both host and cooperative vehicles. However, such information is not always available or accurate enough for effective cooperative sensing. In this paper, we propose a robust cooperative multi-vehicle tracking framework suitable for the situation where the self-localization information is inaccurate. Our framework consists of three stages. First, each vehicle perceives its surrounding environment based on the on-board sensors and exchanges the local tracks through inter-vehicle communication. Then, an algorithm based on Bayes inference is developed to match the tracks from host and cooperative vehicles and simultaneously optimize the relative pose. Finally, the tracks associated with the same target are fused by fast covariance intersection based on information theory. The simulation results based on both synthesized data and a high-quality physics-based platform show that our approach successfully implements cooperative tracking without the assistance of accurate self-localization.

Developement of computer technology provides much improvements on electron microscopy, such as simulation of images, reconstruction of images and automatic controll of microscopes (auto-focussing and auto-correction of astigmatism) and design of electron microscope lenses by using a finite element method (FEM). In this investigation, procedures for simulating the optical properties of objective lenses of HREM and the characteristics of the new lens for HREM at 200 kV are described.The process for designing the objective lens is divided into three stages. Stage 1 is the process for estimating the optical properties of the lens. Firstly, calculation by FEM is made for simulating the axial magnetic field distributions Bzc of the lens. Secondly, electron ray trajectory is numerically calculated by using Bzc. And lastly, using Bzc and ray trajectory, spherical and chromatic aberration coefficients Cs and Cc are numerically calculated. Above calculations are repeated by changing the shape of lens until! to find an optimum aberration coefficients.

The evolution of dislocation channels in irradiated metals during deformation can be envisaged to occur in three stages: (i) formation of embryonic cluster free regions, (ii) growth of these regions into microscopically observable channels and (iii) termination of their growth due to the accumulation of dislocation damage. The first two stages are particularly intriguing, and we have attempted to follow the early stages of channel formation in polycrystalline molybdenum, irradiated to 5×1019 n. cm−2 (E > 1 Mev) at the reactor ambient temperature (∼ 60°C), using transmission electron microscopy. The irradiated samples were strained, at room temperature, up to the macroscopic yield point.Figure 1 illustrates the early stages of channel formation. The observations suggest that the cluster free regions, such as A, B and C, form in isolated packets, which could subsequently link-up to evolve a channel.
