Abstract:
AbstractDesigning the vibroacoustic properties of thin-walled structures is of particularly high practical relevance in the design of vehicle structures. The vibroacoustic properties of thin-walled structures, e.g., vehicle bodies, are usually designed using finite element models. Additional development effort, e.g., experimental tests, arises if the quality of the model predictions are limited due to inherent model uncertainty. Model uncertainty of finite element models usually occurs in the modeling process due to simplifications of the geometry or boundary conditions. The latter highly affect the vibroacoustic properties of a thin-walled structure. The stiffness of the boundary condition is often assumed to be infinite or zero in the finite element model, which can lead to a discrepancy between the measured and the calculated vibroacoustic behavior. This paper compares two different boundary condition assumptions for the finite element (FE) model of a simply supported rectangular plate in their capability to predict the vibroacoustic behavior. The two different boundary conditions are of increasing complexity in assuming the stiffness. In a first step, a probabilistic model parameter calibration via Bayesian inference for the boundary conditions related parameters for the two FE models is performed. For this purpose, a test stand for simply supported rectangular plates is set up and the experimental data is obtained by measuring the vibrations of the test specimen by means of scanning laser Doppler vibrometry. In a second step, the model uncertainty of the two finite element models is identified. For this purpose, the prediction error of the vibroacoustic behavior is calculated. The prediction error describes the discrepancy between the experimental and the numerical data. Based on the distribution of the prediction error, which is determined from the results of the probabilistic model calibration, the model uncertainty is assessed and the model, which most adequately predicts the vibroacoustic behavior, is identified.

Abstract:
The preschool age (3–6 years) is a unique period for development as both emotion regulation and foundational brain development are rapidly maturing. Emotions such as frustration are common during this age; however, there is extensive variability along the spectrum from typical to atypical. This juxtaposition of normative misbehaviors with stable irritable temperament presents unique challenges to the differentiation of normative variation from the onset of clinical problems. As such, recent research has focused efforts on improving methods for differentiating normative and clinically concerning behavior. Improved neuroimaging tools, in combination with behavioral and clinical assessment, have provided an additional tool for assessing pediatric irritability. The authors believe that joint consideration of brain–behavior atypicalities will enhance early identification of clinically concerning irritability. To this end, this chapter aims to summarize the rapid development occurring during the preschool years, describe advancements in developmentally appropriate irritability assessments, and integrate these measurements within a neurodevelopmental framework.

Abstract:
Schools ordinarily support establishing or increasing target behaviors, for example, increasing the number of letter sounds mastered or the frequency of social initiations; however, supporting the reduction of target behaviors is also an important goal of behavior analytic practice in schools. Although numerous target behaviors may warrant functional assessment and subsequent reduction at the individual level (e.g., aggression, self-injurious behavior), this chapter focuses on describing the implementation of and research outcomes related to reductive interventions designed to help teachers decrease disruptive, inappropriate, off-task, or problem behavior in general education classrooms. Reductive interventions describe strategies that explicitly target reduced levels of a target behavior. These interventions may be implemented to address chronic problem behaviors that may have been unresponsive to other positive interventions. The chapter describes various reductive strategies that may be implemented at a Tier I level, such as time-out, think time, and structured recess.

Abstract:
Avatars are an important feature of digital environments. Existing both in social networks and webchats (usually as static images) and in single-player and online video games (as dynamic characters, often humanoid), avatars are meant to represent users' action and communication within digital environments. Research has shown that, when they are customized by users, avatars are not created “randomly,” rather they maintain some kind of relationship with users' actual self-representation and identity. However, more recent studies showed that users may have multiple digital representations: the same person could create multiple avatars depending on which facet of the self is primed by an experimental manipulation, or on which aims they have to pursue in the given virtual environments (e.g., to seduce, to play, to work). With this background, this contribution explores the possibility to use customized avatars within psychological assessment, as adjunctive assessment tools useful to get information on patients' self-representation(s) and communicative intentions.

Full text
Abstract:
Behavior, like other phenotypic traits, varies as a function of genes and environment. Variation occurs at all demographic levels, within individuals over time, between individuals, and between populations and species. Whether variation is important will depend on the behavior and its context. For example, whether a bird scratches its head by extending a leg above or below the adjacent wing may not have profound fitness consequences, although species differences in this character may shed light on phylogenetic relationships (e.g., Wallace 1963; Simmons 1964). In contrast, other behaviors, such as the instantaneous decision to migrate or not, may affect fitness directly by altering the schedule of fecundity or mortality (Dingle et al. 1982). Such strategic behaviors (Maynard Smith 1982), which often depend for their expression on the assessment of local cues (Moran 1992), are complicated and important evolutionary traits. The phenotypic variability that defines them, however, has hindered our ability to treat them with formal evolutionary–genetic analyses that are central to the complete understanding of any putative adaptation. Much of the evolutionarily important variation observed in strategic behavior probably stems from differences among individuals due to genotype–environment interactions. To illustrate this in the most general terms, consider that behavioral distinctions among individuals may be based on (1) differences in the environmental conditions they experience, (2) differences in genetic elements that code for specific tactics or predispositions, or (3) differences in the genotype–environment interaction, manifested through developmental or facultative pathways, that is, “norms of reaction” (Schmalhausen 1949). Norms of reaction are functions that describe how a genotype is translated into a phenotype by the environment. They are becoming widely employed as a paradigm in evolutionary studies of physiological and life-history traits (e.g., Dingle 1992; reviewed by Stearns 1989), but are not yet used widely in studies of behavioral traits (but see Thompson this volume). Because much of the variation that behaviorists observe within populations and species is likely the result of a complex combination of individual differences in genetic code and differences in environment, norms of reaction need to be explored as a method for understanding the sources and structure of behavioral variation.

In this chapter, background information regarding TBI (i.e., definition, severity classifications, epidemiology, assessment, and common postinjury sequelae/psychiatric disorders) are presented to provide context for a discussion of the complicated relationships between brain injury and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. The potential contribution of executive dysfunction (e.g., impairment in reasoning and/or decision-making) is reviewed. In addition, the idea that propensity toward or against engaging in risky behavior can be used to increase understanding regarding the relationship between TBI and suicidal ideation and behaviors is discussed. Last, clinical challenges and future research directions are presented.

Abstract:
This chapter highlights the highly influential and evolving contribution of cyber activity across a range of harassing, threatening, stalking, and violent behavior. Multiple psychological factors (e.g., perceived anonymity and low-risk nature of activity) influence the negative impacts of cyber and electronic activity. It is strongly suggested that the de facto standard of practice emerges in that one cannot perform threat assessment and management without assessing the electronic activity by the subjects of concern. The omnipresence of cyber and electronic communications mandates that threat assessment and management cannot occur without a review of pertinent electronic activity and communications that are reasonably accessible. The research to date suggests that threat assessment professionals should focus on the pattern and nature, as opposed to the modality, of communications when assessing the risk entailed with threatening and harassing electronic communications. The nature and pattern of contacts must also be evaluated in the context of how the correspondence relates to other contact behaviors as part of a chain of events signaling intent from ideation to action. Among such factors are the presence of relevant content factors (e.g., personalized motive, expressing intent or plans to approach, language regarding justified violence, and rhetoric suggesting incitement of violence) as well as factors related to leakage of intent and intensity of effort. Implications for threat management, particularly related to the impact on victims, as well as strategies to help combat such online harassment or abuse are also discussed.

Abstract:
Engineering critical assessments (ECAs) of cracked pipes increasingly involve situations of high strains (e.g., reeling and ratcheting fatigue), multiple loads (combined bending, axial forces, and internal pressure), and multi-axial stressing (due to pressure). In this paper, some of the implications of these loading conditions on ECAs are investigated by generating BS 7910 Level 3C Failure Assessment Diagrams (FADs) from the results of a large matrix of finite element analysis (FEA) J computations for circumferentially cracked pipes. The Level 3C (J-based) FADs (which provide the most accurat

Despite recent progress, mechanical properties of tissue engineered heart valves still lack mechanical strength compared to native aortic valves [1]. Although cyclic tissue straining in bioreactor systems is known to enhance tissue formation [2], specific optimal loading protocols have not yet been defined. To get a better insight in the effects of mechanical loading on tissue development, mechanical behavior of tissue constructs should be monitored and controlled during culture. However, currently used methods for mechanical characterization (e.g. tensile tests, indentation tests) are destruc

Abstract:
Product reuse is a recommended action toward sustainability. However, the profitable reusability of End-of-Use or End-of-Life (EoU/L) products depends on how consumers have used them over the initial lifecycles and what are their EoU conditions. In addition to consumers’ behavior, product design features such as product durability has an impact on the future reusability. In this paper, a data set of Lithium-ion laptop batteries has been studied with the aim of investigating the potential reusability of laptop batteries. This type of rechargeable batteries is popular due to their energy efficie

Abstract:
In the last decades, the use of adhesives has rapidly increased in many industrial fields. Adhesive joints are often preferred to traditional fasteners due to the many advantages that they offer. For instance, adhesive joints show a better stress distribution compared to the traditional fasteners and high mechanical properties under different loading conditions. Furthermore, they are usually preferred for joining components made of different materials. A wide variety of adhesives is currently available: thermoset adhesives are generally employed for structural joints but recently there has bee

Abstract:
Environmental cracking, such as stress-corrosion cracking (SCC), is a significant issue for a variety of industries, such as those dealing with power generation — nuclear, oil and gas production, and pipeline transmission, etc. SCC is particularly of concern in that catastrophic failures can occur even at low applied stress levels (e.g., residual stress produced by welding). Thus, it is critical to evaluate the behavior of SCC for structural integrity assessments.

Abstract:
A recent formulation due to Huang and Cui provides an analytic method for calculating residual stresses in autofrettaged tubes exhibiting non-linear behavior (including Bauschinger effect) during manufacture. The formulation incorporates Von Mises criterion but is limited in its application to plane strain end conditions and an incompressible material (i.e. Poisson’s ratio 0.5) with a fixed unloading behavior. Comparisons indicate that, by selecting unloading behavior typical of that at the bore, the method produces reliable results for both A723 type steels and for steels which exhibit signif

Abstract:
Tubular automotive components, e.g. stabilizers and half shafts, are components subjected to fatigue. In order to assess fatigue behavior of such components, it is important to know both the real load conditions as well as the material strength against multi-axial fatigue. For the second point, a detrimental effect in the fatigue limit of high strength steels is given by the defects present in the component, coming from the material (such as microinclusions, microvoids, etc) or for the process (e.g. handling marks). An integral approach in order to assess fatigue limit of tubular components is

Due to their length, oil and gas pipelines usually face different geotechnical problems along their routes (fast or slow, shallow or deep landslides) that impact the pipe integrity. In the current state of practice, this problems are analyzed considering the system as a beam on elastic foundation (Winkler type models), in which the loads on the pipe (e.g. internal pipe pressure and geostatic loads) are studied independently. A more realistic description of the soil-pipe interaction phenomenon that allows the prediction and explanation of the pipe failures found in the practice requires more ad
