Abstract:

The article looks at word-formation means of textual cohesion and coherence. The analysis shows that the repetition of a suffix, prefix, confix or a base in adjacent or distant sentences in small textual segments can ensure the latter’s cohesion. The ‘source word – derivative’ pair has a considerable cohesive potential. It is especially typical of syntactic derivation. The nominalization of the verb – the predicate of the base sentence, its communicative nucleus – and its use in the next sentence, adjacent or distant one, indicates the theme and ensures the communicative prospects of a sentence within the context of the developing and unfolding text. Textual cohesion is provided by ‘source word – derivative’ word-formation pairs beyond syntactic derivation – when we deal with mutation and modification. The components of complex word-formation units – word-formation paradigms, word-formation families – can be used as cohesive devices because they share the same root morpheme, which is the bearer of general semantic meaning inherent in all members of a paradigmatic grouping.

Abstract:

Use of articles and cohesion in narrative texts written by Polish students The present article aims to present which anaphoric means use students to create a cohesive narrative story. A particular attention is focused on pronouns and on articles as elements absent in Polish language. Three groups of students representing respectively A2, B1 and B2 levels were examined to find out if they use different means while improving their competences in Italian. Another aim of the study was to analyse which parts of narration are susceptible to be bad constructed from the cohesive point of view. The results could have a positive impact on didactic methods applied during courses of writing competences.

Abstract:

Since the publication of Cohesive in English co-authored by Halliday and Hasan in 1976, more linguistics at home and abroad have been analyzing and studying this theory in detail. Thus, cohesion theory has been steadily growing. Existing studies, however, tended to focus on the analysis of cohesive devices in a variety of discourses other than the texts from English textbooks for Chinese high school learners. To address this gap, this study used 5 articles from New Senior English for China Student’s Book 5 and 6 to explore the non-structure cohesive devices. By means of the coding scheme suggested by Halliday and Hasan in 1976, the cohesive patterns in a text were represented. The results showed that coherence in the 5 texts largely depends on lexical cohesion. Then, a further analysis of the five lexical cohesive devices showed that among them, same item having reference that is identical proved to be the most in the texts. The main reasons is perhaps that since the texts are from school textbooks for Chinese teenagers, the student readers almost certainly do not have the ability to make much sense of a fairly complex text whose coherence may largely depends on substitution or ellipsis.

Abstract:

Within a dynamic semantic/pragmatic framework this article discusses the translation relations of the Norwegian connective dermed with respect to English primarily, but also to some extent with respect to German. Data are extracted from the Oslo Multilingual Corpus. Translations between English and Norwegian are analysed in detail with a view to their interpretive resemblance as this concept is used in relevance theory. An event-based analysis is considered a fruitful addition to the relevance theoretic framework for an evaluation of the translation data. Corpus-based frequency counts are then presented to demonstrate the extent to which source language norms influence the use of linking adverbials in translation. The discrepancy between the norms of originally produced Norwegian and the findings in the translation data suggests that the translator is well advised to look for alternative means to trigger the consequential interpretation this connective gives rise to.

Abstract:

This research aims to identify the grammatical and lexical cohesion used in Anne Hathaway’s speech text on “Paid Parental Leave is about Creating Freedom to Define Roles”, and interpret how grammatical and lexical cohesion are used in Anne Hathaway’s speech text on “Paid Parental Leave is about Creating Freedom to Define Roles”.The type of this research is descriptive qualitative research. The result of this research shows that all types of grammatical and lexical cohesion are used in the speech text. For the grammatical cohesions are: reference (personal, demonstrative and comparative reference), substitution (nominal substitution), ellipsis (verbal and clausal ellipsis) and conjunction (additive, adversative, causal and temporal conjunction). Meanwhile, the lexical cohesions are: reiteration (repetition, synonym, superordinate and general word) and collocation. The most dominant of cohesive devices used in the speech text is reference especially for personal reference. All those cohesive devices are used clearly, it means that the speech text of Anne Hathaway entitled “Paid Parental Leave is about Creating Freedom to Define Roles” used grammatical and lexical cohesion well. Finally, the writer suggests that cohesion is important to be studied in language learning because cohesion can be used as a strategy to construct and comprehend any text especially for speech.

Abstract:

The article focuses on a study of cohesive ties in Modern English. The investigation is based on Carl Sagan’s ‘Pale Blue Dot’ (1994). The priority is given to highlighting the types of reiteration as main means of constructing the said text. We maintain that the specific feature of Carl Sagan’s ‘Pale Blue Dot’ is in intensive usage of lexical cohesive ties. The lexical cohesive ties in the text are of oppositeness, antonymy, synonymy. Collocations function as ‘topic holders’ and distant repetition conveys leitmotif ideas. Grammatical cohesive ties are used sparingly in places of semantic tension of the text.

Abstract:

Abstract One of the main pedagogical objectives for language learners at high proficiency levels is to use ‘cohesive devices’ when writing a text or conducting a conversation. Usually, curricula stress the importance of clause-internal cohesion (by means such as connectives: and, but, when, because, etc.). By contrast, we stress the importance of cohesion at the level of the dialogue and in this context focus on discourse (aka ‘modal’) particles as a means to yield cohesion at that level. In this domain, German discourse particles represent a challenging learning objective for second language learners of German. This paper explores some production patterns of German discourse particles in L2 German by L1 Italian learners. We show that looking at those elements can provide new insights because these elements allow us to tease apart problems within syntax as compared to the lexicon-pragmatics interface in second language learning.

Abstract:

This paper deals with the application of Cohesive Zone Model (CZM) concepts to study mode I fracture in adhesive bonded joints. In particular, an intrinsic piece-wise linear cohesive surface relation is used in order to model fracture in a pre-cracked bonded Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) specimen. Finite element implementation of the CZM is accomplished by means of the user element (UEL) feature available in the FE commercial code ABAQUS. The sensitivity of the cohesive zone parameters (i.e. fracture strength and critical energy release rate) in predicting the overall mechanical response is first examined; subsequently, cohesive parameters are tuned comparing numerical simulations of the load-displacement curve with experimental results retrieved from literature.

Abstract:

Cohesion is an important small group variable within sport. However, the conceptualization and examination of cohesion have predominately been oriented toward adult populations. The purpose of the current study was to garner an understanding of what cohesion means to youth sport participants. Fifty-six team sport athletes (Mage = 15.63 ± 1.01 years) from two secondary schools took part in focus groups designed to understand participants’ perceptions of (a) the definition of cohesion and indicators of cohesive and noncohesive groups and (b) methods used to attempt to develop cohesion in their groups. Overall, the responses to part (a) yielded 10 categories reflecting a group’s task cohesion and 7 categories reflecting a group’s social cohesion. Finally, participants highlighted eight general methods through which their groups developed cohesion. Results are discussed in relation to a current conceptualization of cohesion and affiliation considerations within a youth sport environment.

Abstract:

The United States’ National Cohesive Wildfire Management Strategy aims to achieve greater social and ecological resilience to wildfire. It also raises the question: cohesive for whom and for what purpose? In this article, we address the wildfire response goal and what a cohesive response means. Namely, we define a cohesive response as the ability to co-manage across scales for a more effective wildfire response. Our approach is grounded in the reality of the growing complexity of wildfire – both biophysically and socio-politically. We suggest that suppression and fire operations are necessary, but insufficient in the face of this growing complexity as we seek safer and effective wildfire response. Using network-based concepts and drawing from the literature on socio-ecological resilience, we consider how scales can be matched, what can and should be communicated across scales, and what this means for creating more adaptable institutions for more effective wildfire response. Survey results from 21 fires during the 2013 wildfire season are presented to illustrate relative areas of strength and weakness related to wildfire response and how these measurements can feed into processes to facilitate social learning, adaptation and ultimately more resilient socio-ecological wildfire response institutions.

Abstract:

The perceived failure of minority communities to integrate into mainstream culture and society has been of such concern in recent years that there have been a series of political endeavors to shore up notions of citizenship, inclusion, and (national) identity, indeed about what it means to be British. This paper considers political discourses about the failure of multiculturalism and the subsequent implementation of community cohesion strategies in relation to David Cameron’s recent treatise on muscular liberalism, in order to reflect upon notions of segregation, identity and cohesion in the United Kingdom. Data from the Muslims in the European Mediascape project is used to consider to what extent dominant hegemonic discourses of Muslim communities permeate media production practices. Based on an analysis of interviews with mainstream media producers in the United Kingdom, the key concern of this paper is to explore whether media production practices can be said to reinforce the current form of hegemonic liberalism.

Abstract:

The geotechnical test can't be applied to sand as the original sample is difficulty to collected by drilling, so the cohesive strength C of sand can't be acquired in geotechnical test. Generally speaking, according to the Mohr–Coulomb law, C=0. From the numerical point of view, when the slope angle is greater than the internal friction angle, the global stability of slop can’t meet the requirements of standard. However, that’s not the case in fact. In practice, the slope angle can be determined by means of analogy. Although successful experiences have obtained, there still exist some potential hazards. In this paper, we have made some studies on the cohesive strength of sand based on the control of instability of a deep foundation in Xiang'an District, Xiamen, China.

Abstract:

The cohesive (or ficticious) crack model, characterized by softening stress-displacement relations, provides a good description of fracture of quasibrittle materials such as conrete, rock, or tough ceramics. The cohesive crack model is formulated in terms of compliance influence functions and the failure is analyzed as a stability problem. The size effect is determined by means of an eigenvalue problem. In this problem, the structure size for which a given relative crack length yields the maximum load is the eigenvalue. The model is further generalized to time dependence. The opening displacement is considered as a function of the cohesive stress and the opening rate of the crack. Finally, applications to rock and concrete are discussed.

Abstract:

Cone and Seismic Cone Penetration Tests (CPT and SCPT) have been carried out at a total of 101 sites in the Porirua and Lower Hutt regions of New Zealand, initially (from 1975 to 1987) as government-funded public- good science, and later as part of a multi-disciplinary microzoning project under contract to Wellington Regional Council. The shear wave velocities and depths determined in the study were successfully used to predict small-signal resonant frequencies for two sediment-filled basins, and the inferred cohesions were used qualitatively to predict the importance of nonlinearities in limiting ground motion amplification. The major results were the identification and shear wave characterisation of a surface layer (depth 12 m, diameter 600 m) of cohesive flexible sediment in the Porirua basin and a successful prediction of the associated basin resonant frequency, identification and shear wave characterisation of a thick surface layer (depth 30 m, length 2 km, width 500 m) of cohesive flexible sediment in the Wainuiomata basin which explained an observed resonance, identification and shear wave characterisation of a wedge of flexible sediment, cohesive below and uncohesive above, in the lower part of the Hutt Valley, and identification of a pocket of flexible sediment in the Naenae area.

Full text

Abstract:

River morphological evolution is a challenging topic, involving hydrodynamic flow, sediment transport and bank stability. Lowland rivers are often characterized by the coexistence of granular and cohesive material, with significantly different behaviours. This paper presents a bidimensional morphological model to describe the evolution of the lower course of rivers, where there are both granular and cohesive sediments. The hydrodynamic equations are coupled with two advection–diffusion equations, which consider the transport of granular and cohesive suspended sediment concentration separately. The change of bed height is evaluated as the sum of the contributions of granular and sediment material. A bank failure criterion is developed and incorporated into the numerical simulation of the hydrodynamic flood wave and channel evolution, to describe both bed deformation and bank recession. To this aim, two particular mechanisms are considered: the former being a lateral erosion due to the current flow and consequent cantilever collapse and the latter a geostatic failure due to the submergence. The equation system is integrated by means of a finite volume scheme. The resulting model is applied to the Tagliamento River, in northern Italy, where the meander migration is documented through a sequence of aerial images. The channel evolution is simulated, imposing an equivalent hydrograph consisting of a sequence of flood waves, which represents a medium year, with reference to their effect on sediment transport. The results show that the model adequately describes the general morphological evolution of the meander.

Abstract:

Reference as a logical-semantic category is implemented in the blog text based on a variety of lexical and grammatical means (personal, demonstrative and possessive pronouns, definite article, nominative phrases). At the same time, we consistently differentiate the functional and formal level of analysis (connectivity relations – means of expressing connectivity). The conceptual difference between the functional category and the formal implementation of this category reveals some implications that are important for our study. First, the noun or nominative phrase that acts as a segment of the propositional stimulus message is repeatedly replaced by a certain range of formal (and contextual) anaphoric means. Responding to this message, the interlocutor constructs a mental representation of the relationship of formal or contextual connectivity between the antecedent and the substitute. At the same time, the connectivity tool performs a specific referential function in the mental map of blog communication participants. If the referential interdependence between the antecedent and the substitute becomes contextual, the blogger and respondents identify the similarity of the concepts manifested by these components of the stimulus and reaction, establish not only formal equivalence, but also semantic and pragmatic similarity of the conceptual meanings of the associated language units. In the developed blog, there is a contextual relationship between the indicators of connectivity of thematically correlated constituents and the pragmatic consistency of messages of participants in computermediated communication. In the blogosphere, lexical and grammatical tools that function in an anaphoric or cataphoric function are endowed with such semantics that acquire relevant meaning for the interlocutors only taking into account the previous or subsequent messages. These messages, in turn, turn out to be the context against which these units are identified and interpreted by the blogger and respondents. The relationship of connectedness is manifested not so much in the blog text, but at the moment of perception by the interlocutors of each other’s discursive works. The category of connectedness is a value proportional to the communicative ability of the interlocutors to compare and coordinate the semantics of discursive elements, taking into account the referential schemes activated in their minds.

Abstract:

In this investigation, we propose a new concept to embed cohesive zone into the continuum structure of bone cement, an example of brittle material, in investigating the mechanical behavior and fracture mechanism and to predict the fracture which elastic fracture mechanics (EFM) is unable to. Four finite element (FE) models with embedded cohesive zones for the simulations of tensile, compression, double shear and 3-point bending tests have been implemented. Cohesive zones (CZ) are embedded at high risks of fracture with orientations determined by fracture mode. A bilinear cohesive traction-separation law (TSL) is applied. The fracture parameters in traction-separation curve are validated and justified in the simulations to agree well with the force-displacement curves in the four practical tests. Apart from the maximum load, the perpetual safe working load (SWL) in theory also can be predicted by tracing the history of the stiffness degradation of fractured cohesive zone by means of simulation. A distinct advantage of our numerical model is that it is able to extend to investigate the mechanical behavior and fracture mechanism of other brittle materials. The proposed method with embedded cohesive zones in FE models can be introduced to predict the fracture and to forecast the maximum load and safe working load (SWL) of the continuum structure in more complicated loading conditions.

Abstract:

By using a new Hamiltonian of interaction we have calculated the interaction energy for two-dimensional and three-dimensional lattices. We present also, approximate analytical formulae and the analytical formulae for the constant of the elastic force. The obtained results show that in the three-dimensional space, the two-dimensional lattice has the lattice constant and the cohesive energy which are smaller than that of the three-dimensional lattice. For appropriate values of the coupling constants, the two-dimensional lattice in a two-dimensional space has both the lattice constant and the cohesive energy, larger than that of the two-dimensional lattice in a three-dimensional space; this means that if there is a two-dimensional space in the Universe, this should be thinner than the three-dimensional space, while the interaction forces should be stronger. On the other hand, if the coupling constant in the two-dimensional lattice in the two-dimensional space is close to zero, the cohesive energy should be comparable with the cohesive energy from three-dimensional space but this two-dimensional space does not emit but absorbs radiation.

Abstract:

Gothic illustration of hybridity in 'Kameelperd' In this article it is argued that the premise of linguistic and conceptual elements in a poem serves as a focal point for the reader’s interpretation. A single text i.e. "Kameelperd" of Cloete is taken as an example to show that cohesion between various textual elements is interwoven to result in a unity. Textual cohesion relying on similarities in grammatical and lexical criteria proves the relation between elements which enable the author to draw an illustration of a giraffe by means of language. Coherence is proved to have taken place when the connection between cohesive elements in the text is actualised through the reader's process of reading and interpreting. It becomes evident that the giraffe in this poem is portrayed and drawn by the context of linguistic elements in the poem.

The advances in manufacturing techniques allow the generation of new geometric conceptions and open a new paradigm in adhesive joints design. Structured interfaces constitute an excellent method to improve the resistance properties of these kinds of joining systems, Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM or 3D printing) being an appropriate procedure to perform these designs. In this study, double-cantilever beam (DCB) tests with different trapezoidal patterns are investigated in terms of fracture resistance from experimental and analytical points of view in order to analyze the influence of the geometry in the energy release rate of the structure. The main goal of the current investigation is to examine the system response under the variation of the analytical approach parameters (based on a cohesive-zone model (CZM) technique). Particularly, a wider range of mixed-mode fracture conditions can be integrated by means of establishing different penalty stiffnesses in normal and shear directions, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. Finally, a correlation between the experimental and analytical results for the proposed trapezoidal interfaces with different aspect ratios [Formula: see text] (where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] identify the amplitude and wavelength of the interface profile, respectively) is shown. A satisfactory agreement between the predicted and the experimental data is achieved, emphasizing that the relation [Formula: see text] has a significant influence on the results obtained and, therefore, a correct characterization of the joint is needed.

Abstract:

The creative process of meaning construction: A text-linguistic approach The main aim of this article is to explore the usefulness of text linguistics in determining how and why a literary text creates meaning. In order to achieve this aim, the unique way in which a writer or reader creates a text by means of lexico-grammatical and conceptual elements is discussed. The meaningfulness of the linguistic analysis of literary texts is then illustrated by an analysis of T.T. Cloete’s poem “Blydskap”. Lexical cohesion is emphasized and this cohesive device is used as a strategy to indicate how meaningful patterns are created in the text. This analysis illustrates that the methods of text linguistics indeed provide useful tools for examining the construction of meaning in a text.

Abstract:

Macroscopic delamination of polymer-metal interfaces is one of the main failure modesobserved in micro-electronic components. Due to the irregularly shaped metal roughness proﬁle, thisdelamination not only consists of interface separation but also bulk cracking at the micro-scale ofthe roughness. In fact, one of the key mechanisms that results in increased adhesion toughness atroughened interfaces is the transition from adhesive to cohesive failure. A semi-analytical approachis discussed in which the competition between adhesive and cohesive cracking is analyzed by meansof the theoretical relation between interface and kinking stress intensity factors. The parameters thatdeﬁne this relation, the solution coefﬁcients, are quantiﬁed by ﬁnite element (FE) simulations. Accordingly, the crack kinking location and kinking angle into the softer polymer is readily calculated.Furthermore, the geometrical effect of roughness is evaluated by means of FE simulations in whichthe interface topology follows from measured roughness proﬁles while also including interface delamination using cohesive zone elements.

Abstract:

L1 influence research on L2 learners’ spoken performance has focused on learners’ use of L1-based cohesive devices and propositional organization. The problem in these studies was that even though L2 learners were using L1-based cohesive devices, they were not making any grammatical or pronunciation errors, but their L2 speech patterns were not consistent with native speaker standards. This study investigated the ways in which 6 Chinese English as a foreign language (EFL) learners were influenced by their L1-based cohesive devices and organization of ideas during 30 hours of face-to-face interactions with 2 English native speakers. Data analysis involved transforming the transcribed data of interactions into a system of codes and categories (Corbin & Strauss, 2015), and the Excel software was used to generate the means, percentages, and ranks of different categories. Data analysis determined that Chinese L1-based cohesive devices and organization of ideas were manifested in the 6 Chinese participants’ speech as a coherent system of communication. Moreover, the researchers found that the most frequently-used L1-based cohesive device in the Chinese students’ L2 speech was the use of connectors which were employed to “add” new points to the speakers’ arguments. Implications for pedagogy included action research projects to scrutinize the introduction of a series of communicative tasks in the classroom that utilize scaffolding to highlight L1-L2 differences. The aim of these tasks is to raise students’ consciousness and help them “notice the gap” between L1-L2 discourse systems in the use of cohesive devices and organization of ideas.

Abstract:

We have investigated the elastic, cohesive and thermal properties of (Lu, Sc) VO 3 and Sc 1-x Lu x VO 3(0.6 ≤ x ≤ 0.9) perovskites by means of a modified rigid ion model (MRIM). The variation of specific heat is determined following the temperature driven structural phase transitions. Also, the effect of lattice distortions on the elastic and thermal properties of the present pure and doped vanadates has been studied by an atomistic approach. The calculated bulk modulus (BT), reststrahlen frequency (ν0), cohesive energy (ϕ), Debye temperature (θD) and Gruneisen parameter (γ) reproduce well with the corresponding experimental data. The specific heat results can further be improved by including the magnetic ordering contributions to the specific heat.

Abstract:

The incipient motion mechanism of cohesive fine sediment is different to the one of non-cohesive sediment. It is related to the consolidation while being influenced by the dry unit weight and particle size. By means of the rectangle piping flume, the influence mechanism of dry unit weight and particle size to critical shear stress of cohesive fine sediment is studied. Experimental results show that on the condition of consolidation, the influence of dry unit weight to incipient motion is divided into two different stages, one is that when dry unit weight increase quickly, but the influence to incipient motion is not greatly, another is that when dry unit weight increase slowly, but the influence to incipient motion is very greatly, the critical dry unit weight to two stages decline as mean particle size decrease. So the mean particle size is finer, the degree of dry unit weight influence to critical shear stress is stronger, and the incipient motion is more difficult when consolidation last longer; it is also shown consolidation is more disadvantageous to incipient motion.

Abstract:

There has been a recent push toward adoption of in-place soil stiffness as a means of assessing compactness of pavement geomaterials. From a series of low strain GeoGauge stiffness measurements made under controlled laboratory conditions on compacted silts, the variation of stiffness with water content, dry unit weight, degree of saturation, volume change upon wetting, shear strength, and soil plasticity is discussed. In general, the GeoGauge stiffness is not directly related to dry unit weight, and it peaks dry of optimum and decreases upon wetting. Soil specimens with a large stiffness also tend to be stronger, but they also tend to swell more upon wetting, implying that the shrink–swell potential is not optimized if stiffness is. These results help advance the understanding of the role of stiffness in assessing compactness of cohesive geomaterials.

Abstract:

By using dynamic and static triaxial experiments to test the saturated composite soil-rock medium of different soil-rock ratio. Measure related power indicators and analyze the variation rules and tendency, and make comparative research on the dynamic and static strength of composite mediums with different soil-rock ratio. Studies have shown the tendency that the static strength and internal friction angle increases while the cohesive force increases and then decreases with the decrease in soil-rock ratio. Under the same compactness, the dynamic strength of composite soil-rock medium increases with the decrease in soil-rock ratio, and decreases significantly with the improvement of seismic intensity; For one rock ratio, dynamic cohesive force decreases with the gradual increase of intensity, and decreases faster with the decrease in soil-rock ratio. While the dynamic internal friction angle decreases with the increase of intensity. At the same intensity, which means the same vibration frequency, dynamic cohesive force increases with the decrease in the soil-rock ratio and so does dynamic internal friction angle.

Abstract:

The article deals with the problem of relation of two linguistic categories – interrogativity and text cohesion – in a literary text. The aim of the research is to study the role of ‘why’ questions in text cohesion in Waterland by G. Swift. As part of the study, a database of interrogative contexts was formed, which includes general questions, special questions and disjunctive questions. Methods of semantic analysis, stylistic analysis, contextual analysis, syntactical analysis were used in the research process. The paper provides the results of analysis conducted to reveal the functions of ‘why’ questions in text cohesion on the micro-level (lexical and semantical cohesion, syntactical cohesion) and macro-level (plot and composition, imagery, themes and idea) of the literary text. There were found means of text cohesion such as lexical and syntactical repetitions. On the level of lexis, such various types of repetition were discovered as complete lexical repetition, partial repetition, synonymic and antonymic repetition, deixis, repetition of the interrogative adverb ‘why’. On the level of syntax, the analysis demonstrates a tendency to formal incompleteness of interrogative structures, on the one hand, which allows us to assume an implicit type of text cohesion, and, on the other hand, a tendency to formal complexity of interrogative structures, with parenthetic clauses, adverbial participial phrases and homogeneous parts of the sentence being frequently used. Stylistic analysis of ‘why’ questions shows that anaphora, antithesis, syntactical parallelism, parenthesis, ellipsis and aposiopesis are among the means of text cohesion in the text under consideration. The analysis of the novel on the macro-level demonstrates that ‘why’ questions function in the plot development, facilitate semantical cohesion between chapters, form thematical and conceptual unity of the literary text, and serve to promote the unity of imagery. The author concludes that ‘why’ questions facilitate the processes of semantical and syntactical compression, which are considered the main mechanisms of text production.

Abstract:

In the key to the study of literary texts, it is important to highlight the role of the inner form of the word as the transponder of the explicit and implicit layers of the content of the literary text, the means of conceptualization (pregnancy) in the blocks of interpersonal communication. This is determined by the relevance of the chosen topic. Since most scholars emphasize the motivation of the IF word, in this work we will use the following definition: IF words – this is a motivational sign fixed in the word that is the bearer of imagery and contributes to the disclosure of the associative-figurative potential of the artistic text, the expression of intentions and communicative strategies and tactics in interpersonal communication. In our work, it is important to disclosure the role and functions of in-form nominations, repeated in the blocks of strategic tactical interaction of characters of flash fiction or in the author's speech. The material of the research makes it possible to draw the following discussion: repeated intraformal nominations used in the speech of characters of artistic texts of small prose are explicants of target-oriented communicative intentions, strategies and tactics, additional exponents of character characteristics, means of internal connectivity, and the internal form of such lexical units contributes to the expansion of the content boundaries of the text, the emergence of new associative-shaped shades, the actualization of new pragmatic meanings.

Abstract:

This article describes high-cycle fatigue simulation for 7050-T7451 aluminium alloy using cohesive zone law. A three-dimensional finite element model is developed for fatigue behaviour of aluminium alloy subjected to cyclic bending. A bilinear, cycle-dependent cohesive zone law is implemented with a help of experimental S-N (stress amplitude–number of cycles to failure) data. In the finite element model, a cycle jump strategy is used including stiffness degradation and reduction of fracture energy during cyclic loadings. Additionally, bending experiments are conducted with unnotched specimens and S-N curves are determined. Direct comparison of S-N curves between the simulation and the experiment is performed on bilogarithmic scale. Results show that the proposed method provides a good means of simulating high-cycle fatigue behaviour of aluminium alloys.

Abstract:

Numerical simulations of the fracture process are challenging, and the discrete element (DE) method is an effective means to model fracture problems. The DE model comprises the DE connective model and DE contact model, where the former is used for the representation of isotropic solids before cracks initiate, while the latter is employed to represent particulate materials after cracks propagate. In this paper, a DE particle-based cohesive crack model is developed to model the mixed-mode fracture process of brittle materials, aiming to simulate the material transition from a solid phase to a particulate phase. Because of the particle characteristics of the DE connective model, the cohesive crack model is constructed at inter-particle bonds in the connective stage of the model at a microscale. A potential formulation is adopted by the cohesive zone method, and a linear softening relation is employed by the traction–separation law upon fracture initiation. This particle-based cohesive crack model bridges the microscopic gap between the connective model and the contact model and, thus, is suitable to describe the material separation process from solids to particulates. The proposed model is validated by a number of standard fracture tests, and numerical results are found to be in good agreement with the analytical solutions. A notched concrete beam subjected to an impact loading is modeled, and the impact force obtained from the numerical modeling agrees better with the experimental result than that obtained from the finite element method.

Abstract:

Too often, master planning strategies have failed to produce spaces responding to the social, cultural, and economic needs of their inhabitants. Accordingly, many planners have turned to relational strategies to redefine their practices. These tend toward methodologies that explore relational forces preceding design interventions rather than unfolding by means of design interventions. This article considers an alternative mode of understanding relational processes: one that considers tactical urban strategies theorized through the lens of complexity theory. This article argues that tactical approaches harness relational junctures in situ, effectively exploring relational configurations of cohesive urban environments. A design competition entry provides an illustrative example of this approach: one that channels and choreographs relational urban processes.

Abstract:

This article summarises the impacts of a spontaneous arts initiative involving the residents of eight London streets during the 2020 lockdowns. A local arts organization devised small-scale, informal street music projects that were evaluated by the residents themselves. Responses suggested that such events had a strong positive impact on the feelings of community. Common responses included reaffirming the importance of local cohesion, recognizing music as an accessible means of developing new connections in ‘distanced’ conditions and a new appreciation of family togetherness. Those involved suggested that researchers could learn much about the characteristics of cohesive, supportive communities from similar initiatives. The project confirmed that more research was needed on the role schools could play in bringing communities together and how music can be used to build bridges between school and community. Feedback raised questions about the absence of children’s voices in post-COVID-19 planning for ‘the recovery curriculum’.

Abstract:

The current paper is describing the implementation of a multiscale numerical model for prediction of stiffness and strength in braided composites. The model is validated by experimental testing of single-layer braided tubes under torsional loading utilising digital image correlation (DIC). For the numerical model the entire braided structure is modelled at yarn detail level, taking into account the yarn behaviour as well as individual yarn-to-yarn interactions by using cohesive contact definitions. By means of Hashin’s failure criteria and cohesive contact damage, failure of the yarns and failure of the yarn-to-yarn interface is being accounted for. Thereby the material failure behaviour can be predicted. For validation of the model, torsion tests of biaxially braided single-layer composite tubes were performed. The strain distribution at the specimen surface was studied using the DIC system ARAMIS in 3D mode.

Abstract:

This paper focuses mainly on the stability of a square tunnel in cohesive–frictional soils subjected to surcharge loading. Large-size noncircular tunnels are quickly becoming a widespread building technology by virtue of the development of advanced tunneling machines. The stability of square tunnels in cohesive–frictional soils subjected to surcharge loading has been investigated theoretically and numerically, assuming plane strain conditions. Despite the importance of this problem, previous research on the subject is very limited. At present, no generally accepted design or analysis method is available to evaluate the stability of tunnels or openings in cohesive–frictional soils. In this study, a continuous loading is applied to the ground surface, and both smooth and rough interface conditions between the loading and soil are modelled. For a series of tunnel geometries and material properties, rigorous lower and upper bound solutions for the ultimate surcharge loading of the considered soil mass are obtained by applying recently developed numerical limit analysis techniques. The results obtained are presented in the form of dimensionless stability charts for practical convenience, with the actual surcharge loads being closely bracketed from above and below. As a handy practical means, upper bound rigid-block mechanisms for square tunnels have also been developed, and the obtained values of collapse loads were compared with the results from numerical limit analysis to verify the accuracy of both approaches. Finally, an expression that approximates the ultimate surcharge load of cohesive–frictional soils with the inclusion of shallow square tunnels has been devised for use by practicing engineers.
