The flame bending process can be most useful in the present effort to automate the plate bending process in shipyards. To achieve this goal, the complicated thermo-elastic-plastic behavior of the plate during the process must be understood. A review of the past analytical research efforts reveals that these attempts have been restricted to beam bending. Here a theory for the thermo-elastic-plastic plate bending is developed. Furthermore, using a boundary element method as a solution technique, the difference between the mechanics of beam bending versus plate bending is shown. Recommendations for future work are given.

A modified linear-elastic method of analysis was proposed for the estimation of fatigue lifetimes of biaxially loaded components containing cracks. A constitutive relation of the crack growth rate, d a/ d N, was used as a basis for the analysis. The modifications included a correction for elastic-plastic behavior, consideration of Kitagawa effect, and consideration of the development of crack closure in the wake of a newly formed crack. A unified evaluation for the d a/ d N data measured by Brown and Miller in different biaxial stress states was made by use of the proposed method. It was found that the difference in elastic-plastic behavior accounted for the effect of biaxial stress on d a/ d N.

A considerable residual stress distribution can be produced while bending of parts. This stress distribution depends on material behavior. In this article, residual stress distribution has been determined through the thickness in beam bending. For three different models of elastic–plastic behavior, the stress distribution and maximum residual stress are derived analytically. The residual stress is compared for three different bending radii as a case study. Also, finite element analysis has been carried out for two material properties. The results show that material behavior has little effect on stress distribution for large value of bending radius. As the bending radius decreases, difference of stress distribution increases rapidly among three plastic behaviors. Comparing the results of finite element and analytical stress distribution shows good accuracy for suggested formulations.

We cannot be sure exactly what will happen, we can only estimate by using a particular method, where each method must have the formula to create a regression equation and a formula to calculate the confidence level of the estimated value. This paper conveys a method of estimating the future values, in which the formula for creating a regression equation is based on the assumption that the future value will depend on the difference of the past values divided by a weight factor which corresponding to the time span to the present, and the formula for calculating the level of confidence is to use "the Haryadi Index". The advantage of this method is to remain accurate regardless of the sample size and may ignore the past value that is considered irrelevant.

Investigating the role of physiology in communication research is a burgeoning area of study that has gained considerable attention by relational scholars in the past decade. Unfortunately, very few published studies on this topic have evoked important questions about the role of race and ethnicity. Exploring issues of ethnicity and race provides a more holistic and inclusive view of interpersonal communication across diverse groups and communities. This chapter addresses the gap in literature by considering the ways in which race and ethnicity matter in work on physiology and interpersonal interactions. More specifically, this chapter will first discuss the conceptual underpinnings of race, ethnicity, and other relevant concepts and then review extant research within and beyond the field of communication on race, ethnicity, interpersonal interactions, and physiology. These discussions set the foundation for this chapter to propose new lines of research that pointedly connect these four concepts and advance key principles that scholars should consider in future work.

The present paper concerns the general solution for finite plane strain pure bending of incompressible, orthotropic sheets. In contrast to available solutions, the new solution is valid for inhomogeneous distributions of plastic properties. The solution is semi-analytic. A numerical treatment is only necessary for solving transcendent equations and evaluating ordinary integrals. The solution’s starting point is a transformation between Eulerian and Lagrangian coordinates that is valid for a wide class of constitutive equations. The symmetric distribution relative to the center line of the sheet is separately treated where it is advantageous. It is shown that this type of symmetry simplifies the solution. Hill’s quadratic yield criterion is adopted. Both elastic/plastic and rigid/plastic solutions are derived. Elastic unloading is also considered, and it is shown that reverse plastic yielding occurs at a relatively large inside radius. An illustrative example uses real experimental data. The distribution of plastic properties is symmetric in this example. It is shown that the difference between the elastic/plastic and rigid/plastic solutions is negligible, except at the very beginning of the process. However, the rigid/plastic solution is much simpler and, therefore, can be recommended for practical use at large strains, including calculating the residual stresses.

AbstractThis paper presents a report on outcomes of the 10th Computational Modeling in Biology Network (COMBINE) meeting that was held in Heidelberg, Germany, in July of 2019. The annual event brings together researchers, biocurators and software engineers to present recent results and discuss future work in the area of standards for systems and synthetic biology. The COMBINE initiative coordinates the development of various community standards and formats for computational models in the life sciences. Over the past 10 years, COMBINE has brought together standard communities that have further developed and harmonized their standards for better interoperability of models and data. COMBINE 2019 was co-located with a stakeholder workshop of the European EU-STANDS4PM initiative that aims at harmonized data and model standardization for in silico models in the field of personalized medicine, as well as with the FAIRDOM PALs meeting to discuss findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) data sharing. This report briefly describes the work discussed in invited and contributed talks as well as during breakout sessions. It also highlights recent advancements in data, model, and annotation standardization efforts. Finally, this report concludes with some challenges and opportunities that this community will face during the next 10 years.

Abstract Hearing Loss (HL) is common among older adults and is associated with poor health care quality outcomes include 30-day readmissions, length of stay, poorer satisfaction, and increased medical expenditures. These associations may manifest in changes in help-seeking behaviour. In the 2015 Current Medicare Beneficiary Study (MCBS) (n=10848; weighted sample=46.3 million), participants reported whether they knowingly had avoided seeking care in the past year and self-reported HL was measured as degree of trouble (none, a little, or a lot) hearing when using a hearing aid if applicable. In a model adjusted for demographic, socioeconomic, and health factors, those with a little trouble (OR= 1.612; 95% CI= 1.334-1.947; P<0.001) and a lot of trouble hearing (OR= 2.011; 95% CI= 1.443-2.801; P<0.001) had 61.2% and 101.1% higher odds of avoiding health care over the past year relative to participants with no trouble hearing. Future work should examine whether hearing care modifies this association.

A technique for elastic-plastic analysis of a thick-walled elastic-plastic cylinder under internal pressure is proposed. It involves two parametric functions and piecewise linearization of the stress-strain curve. A deformation type of relationship is combined with Hooke’s law in such a way that stress-strain law has the same form in all linear segments, but each segment involves different material parameters. Elastic values are used to describe elastic part of deformation during loading and also during unloading. The technique involves the use of deformed geometry to satisfy the boundary and other relevant conditions. The value of strain energy required for deformation is found to depend on whether initial or final geometry is used to satisfy the boundary conditions. In the case of low work-hardening solid, the difference is significant and cannot be ignored. As well, it is shown that the new formulation is appropriate for elastic-plastic fracture calculations.
