Characteristic form of dynamics equations of Cosserat medium

In this paper, we construct the characteristic form of the equations of dynamics of the Cosserat medium and the Cosserat pseudocontinuum for bounded bodies. The method of matrix transformations proposed by the author is used for construction and allows obtaining the necessary relations using identical transformations. The obtained equations are compared with those for a symmetrically elastic isotropic homogeneous body. A method is proposed for selecting the necessary equations for computational schemes at the internal and boundary points of the body. A sequence of operations is proposed for iterative calculations of stresses, particle velocities, moment stresses, and angular velocities of particles in a coupled model of the Cosserat medium.

Contingency and Mysticism from Economics to Finance: Knight, Ayache, DeLillo

The recent history of finance has been widely portrayed, by both critics and practitioners, as a story about risk. As pointed out by Mary Poovey, focusing on risk entails forgetting uncertainty. In this paper, I argue forgetting uncertainty leads to an inability to distinguish between rational and mystical modes of financial thinking. Using literary-theoretical analysis, I read three exemplary texts across each other: Frank Knight’s seminal 1921 treatise, Risk, Uncertainty, and Profit, which helped justify the modern corporate financial form; Elie Ayache’s 2010 The Blank Swan, a philosophical account of derivatives trading that exemplifies more recent developments in finance; and Don DeLillo’s 2013 Cosmopolis, a novel that remediates the structures of thought implied by the other texts’ philosophical commitments. This textual nexus allows me to explicate the characteristic form of financial mysticism, rendering it visible against claims that derivatives and financial theory have fully rationalized finance.

Population of Small Towns of the Krasnoyarsk Territory in the Context of Socio-Cultural Modernization in the 1920s-1930s

On the basis of a wide range of documentary sources, the paper considers the main characteristics and development trends of population in small towns of the 1920s and 1930s located first within the Yenisei Province and then within the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The author reveals the factors which have a significant impact on the socio-demographic portrait of a small Siberian city as a unique and characteristic form of social organization for Russia, developing in the context of economic and sociocultural modernization of the Soviet state. The period of complex transformations witnesses the whole range of social changes and their inherent contradictions to a greater extent. Achinsk, Yeniseisk, Kansk, and Minusinsk social and cultural policy of the 1920s and 1930s developed under the influence of both a number of general factors determined by the specific historical situation in the country and the region, and those factors which determined specific development of the towns under study and features of their social and cultural policy in the Soviet state. These heterogenous and diverse factors produce a significant and irreversible impact on the demographic processes of both local communities and the region as a whole.

Perjanjian Kerjasama pada Perusahaan Pertamina (Persero) Akibat Wanprestasi

The characteristic form of the SPBU entrepreneur's cooperation agreement with PT. Pertamina (Persero) is using a standard or standard agreement. The formulation of the problem is how the characteristics of the cooperation agreement at PT. Pertamina (Persero) with SPBU entrepreneurs, and the legal consequences of default in the cooperation agreement at PT. Pertamina (Persero). The research method uses normative legal research, with a problem approach using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The concept of a standard agreement in terms of form, in this research there is always a written agreement, the growth of which is now mostly achieved in a written form that uses standardized agreements, with the intention of taking concrete actions to save time, money and energy.If the implementation of the cooperation agreement between the SPBU entrepreneur and PT is violated, there will be legal consequences. Pertarnina (Persero) through non-litigation and litigation methods. Not confusing because it has been promulgated by Law no. 30 of 1999. the purpose of this study, among others, to determine the form of the characteristics of the cooperation agreement at PT. Pertamina (Persero) with SPBU entrepreneurs as well as knowing the legal consequences of default in the cooperation agreement at PT. Pertarnina (Persero).

Monster aesthetics as an expression of decolonizing the design body

Institutionalized design education aims at training the human body to become a design body, a subject capable of designing according to aesthetic canons. In colonized territories, the modern canon predominates over indigenous, vernacular and other forms of expression. Manichaeism, utilitarianism, universalism, methodologism and various modern values are inculcated in the design body as if it did not have any. The colonization of design bodies makes young designers believe that once they learn what good design is, they need to save others from bad design. This research reports on a series of democratic design experiments held in a Brazilian university that questioned these values while decolonizing the design body. Comparing the works of design produced in the experiment with some works of art from the Neoconcrete movement, we recognize a characteristic form of expression we call monster aesthetics: a positive affirmation of otherness and collectivity that challenges colonialists’ standards of beauty and goodness.

INTER-COUPLED TSUNAMI MODELLING THROUGH AN ABSORBING-GENERATING BOUNDARY

For many practical and theoretical purposes, various types of tsunami wave models have been developed and utilized so far. Some distinction among them can be drawn based on governing equations used by the model. Shallow water equations and Boussinesq equations are probably most typical ones among others since those are computationally efficient and relatively accurate compared to 3D Navier-Stokes models. From this idea, some coupling effort between Boussinesq model and shallow water equation model have been made (e.g., Son et al. (2011)). In the present study, we couple two different types of tsunami models, i.e., nondispersive shallow water model of characteristic form(MOST ver.4) and dispersive Boussinesq model of non-characteristic form(Son and Lynett (2014)) in an attempt to improve modelling accuracy and efficiency.Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): https://youtu.be/cTXybDEnfsQ

Analysis of Acoustic Signals During the Optical Breakdown of Aqueous Solutions of Fe Nanoparticles

The study investigates the spectra of acoustic signals generating during the optical breakdown of colloidal solutions of iron nanoparticles. A characteristic form of the acoustic spectrum has been experimentally established, a distinctive feature of which is the presence of signals from an expanding and collapsing gas bubble. It is shown that the amplitude and area of these acoustic signals depend on the concentration of nanoparticles in the irradiated colloid. The effect of the concentration of nanoparticles on the bubble lifetime corresponding to the time interval between the acoustic spectrum signals corresponding to the birth and cavitation of a gas bubble has been studied.

Numerical Investigation of the Collapse of a Steel Truss Roof and a Probable Reason of Failure

This study investigated the failure of the roof, with steel truss construction, of a factory building in Tekirdag in the northwestern part of Turkey. The failure occurred under hefty weather conditions including lightning strikes, heavy rain, and fierce winds. In order to interpret the reason for the failure, the effects of different combinations of factors on the design and dimensioning of the roof were studied. Finite element analysis, using the commercial software Abaqus (Dassault Systèmes, Vélizy-Villacoublay, France), was performed several times under different assumptions and considering different factors with the aim of determining the dominant factors that were responsible for the failure. Each loading condition gives out a characteristic form of failure. The scenario with the most similar form of failure to the real collapse is considered as the most likely scenario of failure. In addition, the factors included in this scenario are expected to be the responsible factors for the partial collapse of the steel truss structure.
