Abstract:
Two accelerated-relief sculp-tures depicting the same scene from slightly different viewpoints can serve as sculpted stereo-scopic half-images—or “twin-reliefs.” Unlike traditional relief sculpture, which compresses sculptural space, twin-reliefs expand it, creating lifelike illusionistic depths. Viewed binocularly in a large Wheat-stone stereoscope, the twin-relief's virtual world appears colorful, atmospheric and life-size— even infinitely deep. Furthermore, unlike flat-picture stereoscopy, which allows just one undistorted, perspectively robust view, twin-reliefs provide infinitely many such views because, being sculptural, they “adapt” to the observer's movement. Twin-reliefs syner-gistically combine essential physical attributes previously separated between the domains of painting, sculpture and traditional flat-picture stereoscopy.

Abstract:
Candi Sukuh is a sacred temple complex shaped like step-pyramid structure with three terraces, which was used on late period of Majapahit Kingdom, around 15th century. Every terrace is decorated with various reliefs, either ornamental reliefs or narrative reliefs. The tale of the narrative reliefs had been studied by some researchers, but they had different opinion about it. There are also allegations on the tale from those reseachers of some other narrative reliefs, and narrative reliefs that have never been studied before. There are 13 carved stones of those narrative reliefs, with one or more panels on each stone. Each relief may consist of various relief components, such as figures, animals, plants, buildings, weapons, and other things. Those components are compared with other studies of relief on Majapahit period to obtain early identifications of the relief. After that, each component is arranged to form 18 tale scenes. The scenes are compared with Ancient Javanese texts or other sacred building reliefs from Majapahit period, so that the source of the tale and particular scene of the tale are identified.

Abstract:
The paper describes stone reliefs of the architectural decor of the 14th – 18th centuries with floral ornaments and Arabic inscriptions, discovered by the author in different years of the 20th – 21st centuries in the villages of Kubachi and Shiri, which are currently stored in museum collections. This paper is a continuation of a previous study of the stone reliefs from the village of Kubachi. The author provides the description of 20 reliefs, of which one (№ 12) is stored in the State Hermitage, seven others (№ 13–18, 20) – in the National Museum of the Republic of Dagestan (NMRD); eleven reliefs (№ 1–11) were revealed by us in Kubachi, and one relief (№19) – in the village of Shiri. The Kubachi reliefs are inserted in the structure of various residential or cult buildings (mosques) of the upper, middle and lower livings districts of the village. The reliefs had been obtained from the ruins of old buildings and installed into walls of new ones during their construction for decorative purpose. The integrity of the reliefs varies: some remained in a satisfactory condition, some have defects (break-offs, splits, etc.), others are incomplete, i.e. in fragments. Most of the reliefs considered in the article were drawn with estampage prints, which were then transferred to A1 paper sheets with the use of ink. The restoration of the broken-off details of the decoration of the reliefs № 7 and 16 was carried out by us. The Arabic inscriptions of some reliefs (№ 13–14), which are kept in the National Museum of the Republic of Dagestan, have not been translated into Russian due to the difficulty of reading or poor integrity. Many reliefs of the 14th – 18th centuries with floral ornaments and Arabic inscriptions, found in the masonry of the walls of some residential and religious buildings, especially the quarter mosque in the lowest part of Kubachi, are still not included in the article. The location of the reliefs in the upper parts (third floor) of buildings erected on a very steep slope makes it impossible to photograph them properly. The dating of some reliefs (№ 1–4, etc.) is preliminary. It can be further clarified on the basis of analogies after the publication of unpublished reliefs preserved in the village of Kubachi and those stored in museums – the State Hermitage and NMRD. Accurate dating of medieval art monuments in Kubachi without dates is one of the challenges in studying them. Description of the reliefs revealed in Kubachi is given in the order of recording them at different times and in different districts of the old part of the village.

Abstract:
It is generally accepted that stolen cultural objects shall be returned, but it is still a more complex and comparatively ambiguous matter when it comes to solving cases left over by history. The Six Stone Horse Reliefs are one of the most influential works of art in Chinese history, but unfortunately the beginning of 20th century witnessed the political and social upheaval of China, which resulted not only in people’s suffering but also in the loss of the cultural relics. The Six Stone Horse Reliefs were stolen and broken in China. Two of the six stone horses, called Sa Luzi and Quan Maogua, were illegally shipped to the United States and today are exhibited at the University Museum of Pennsylvania. While referring to the example of the Six Stone Horse Reliefs, this article puts forward the argument for using soft-law instruments to break through the shortcomings of existing international treaties and the limitations of domestic law.

Abstract:
The article introduces new stone reliefs – details of architectural décor of the 14th–15th centuries with a graphic narrative. The reliefs were discovered by the author in the village of Kubachi in different years of the 20th century, and only now gained special attention.The reliefs in question are scattered through various buildings of the old part of the village, mainly in its middle and lower districts.The integrity of the reliefs varies: some remained in a good state, some – in fragments, others – in poor condition.In most cases, it was not possible to photograph them from the desired angle due to their inaccessibility (second or third floors of buildings in very densely built-up areas, etc.).Most of the reliefs date back to the 14–15th centuries. The dating was carried out according to stylistic features, taking into consideration the fact that a huge number of stone reliefs with graphical subjects were made in Kubachi in the said time period. These reliefs are now stored in many domestic and foreign museums and have partially preserved in Kubachi.The description of the reliefs is given in the order of their record by the author at different times and in different districts of the village.

Abstract:
AbstractThe patterns used to decorate Neo-Assyrian fabrics are known mainly through their use in the arts. Stone bronze and ivory sculptures and wall paintings incorporate decorations, sometimes enhanced with a variety of colours. The patterns for which we have evidence varied through time and in response to the use the fabric served. The secondary nature of the evidence allows only inferences on the techniques used to create the decorative patterns, but not certain knowledge. At Nineveh the subtlest distinctions in fabric patterning on stone relief survive. At Nimrud the most complex symbolic motifs are used as fabric decorations. At Til Barsip the most varied and colourful patterns are seen. At Khorsabad stone reliefs with colour-enhance patterns survive. The consistency with which some decorations are used exclusively for the king's garment suggests that there may be a symbolic value for a few decorative patterns.

Abstract:
Abstract The archaeological site of Göbekli Tepe in southeast Turkey has garnered attention over the last two decades thanks to circles of megalithic T-shaped stone pillars dating to the 10th–9th millennium BCE. These stone pillars, which could be considered as representing figures, reach as far as 5.5 metres in height, weigh between 10 and 15 tons and, in many cases, are covered in animal reliefs or geometric motifs. Both the monumentality of the circular structures and their symbolism raise many questions and bring a whole new insight into the life and rituals of early Neolithic societies.

Abstract:
The study focuses the evil within human beings and evil actions against other humans and the human kind. The evil is defined as evil actions such as murder and actions in war. The questions asked is whether the evil has a face and if it is possible in that case to paint that kind of face. The medieval mural paintings in old churches include Cain murdering his brother Abel based on the Bible. The study also includes reliefs, sculptures in stone describing Cains´s murder of Abel and sculptures with the Massacre of the Innocents in Bethlehem according to the Bible. These pieces of medieval art are compared with the paintings of evil faces by some modern artists. The method used in the analysis is Panofsky´s iconological method. The result shows that the medieval art is formally more strictly structurer and that the modern artists have a more personal style. In addition to this fact is the different purpose of the different kinds of art. The medieval mural paintings are storytelling from the Bible and modern art is based on influences from other artists in art history and the artists´own ideas and thoughts in a more persoanl way of painting. The meaning in medieval art is more clear and obvious than that in the modern art. The conclusion reached at is that evil exists but that one cannont talk about a special face of the evil.

Abstract:
Future architectural relics are everywhere, manifest in the ultimately unsustainable patterns many American communities have replicated - endless weed-infested parking lots, decrepit malls, the abandoned Walmart glowering across the street at the even bigger Super Walmart. Gone are many of the small, independently owned businesses that lined main streets in small and medium-sized communities across the country, rendered relics by shopping malls lauding big-name brands or cheap products. Malls, too, may be on their way to becoming relics, due in part to the Internet and The Great Recession. However, architectural relics in the form of big box stores have haunted the American landscape since 1964. These box-like, impossibly large structures continue to be built, only to stand empty several years later when an even larger store model is constructed. The country is facing a new obsolescence of extravagance. No longer can our floundering economy support an infinite boom of boxes. Every new big box is a future relic. While many architectural and cultural historians such as Richard Longstreth, David Smiley, and Neil Harris have dissected the relic of the American shopping mall, few have grappled with the ubiquity of the big box store and how this structural form has departed from a longstanding tradition of retail architectural design. In this thesis, I analyze the factors have contributed to the rise and fall of these creaking behemoths of retail architecture. Ultimately, I contend that big box stores mark a stark departure in architectural theory and practice, and that this departure has manifested in a multitude of cultural, economic, and environmental consequences.

Abstract:
In my essay I am looking at the common heritage of written signs and images through my own experience of attention deficiency and mental illness. Through this lens of experience in which words and images are vividly transformed and merged, I am reflecting on language and art and their overlapping. Throughout the text I reference early written entirely pictorial languages, the painterly terms of thought disorders, as well as how the images that gave name to the characters in the phonetic alphabet is still lurking in the very letters themselves. I also exemplify how attention deficiency can evoke new image/text hybrids in a chapter I call ADHD poetry. In my own artistic practice I am drawn towards a melting point of language, written sign, image, high and low, illusion-representation-materiality, intellect and intuition. The surface as a physical object and idea – that there is a two-dimensional space where we project fantasies and fiction. Through prose, play, rhythm, rant, word salad, crumble of meaning etc. sandwiched, I am observing the swelling of words.

L’empire néo-assyrien est un royaume né en Mésopotamie. À partir de 934 av. J.-C., le royaume assyrien est devenu l’un des États les plus puissants du Proche-Orient ancien. L'empire néo-assyrien est devenu le troisième empire le plus puissant du monde antique après la conquête des royaumes de Babylone, d’Urartu, l’Elam et l'Egypte. Il a donc dominé la Mésopotamie, l’Asie Mineure, le Caucase, l’Egypte et la Méditerranée Orientale. Cet empire a continué jusqu'à la chute de sa capitale Ninive qui tombe aux mains des Babyloniens et des Mèdes en 612 av. J.-C. L'empire néo-assyrien a laissé de nombreux monuments et artefacts, qui ont aidé les archéologues à étudier les bijoux assyriens. Cette thèse traite des bijoux à l’époque néo-assyrienne. Elle présente la typlogie, mais aussi les matériaux utilisés et la fabrication des bijoux. Elle présente aussi l’iconographie et la symbolique des bijoux

Stone relief of Han dynasty was a comprehensive way of expression, which not only reflected the social culture of Han, but also revealed a mythological world full of Han people’s imagination and desire. The subjects used in Han’s stone relief were all-inclusive, on which depicted Han people’s daily life, social manner, thought, custom and belief. The thriving and prosperous Han dynasty was able to recurrence on those stone and brick reliefs. Han people lived a joyful life, and wished to have an equally joyful afterlife; no matter alive or dead, they pursued hope and fantasy. Han dynasty lasted over four hundred years, everything such from social life, mythological belief to funeral custom under this feudal society structure were carved gloriously on reliefs that found inside the tombs. Bird was one of the mostly used symbols of stone relief, which repeatedly appeared in reliefs such as ” Yi Shot Down the Suns”, ” The bird fly with the sun”, ”The three-legs crow stands by the Queen Mother of the West ”, ” Chinese Phoenix”, etc. Among these reliefs, bird often came along with the sun; hence the main research focus of this thesis falls on the composition of sunbird. This thesis comprised three sections, which all in relation to sunbird mythology. The first section based on “Yi Shot Down the Suns”, and tried to exploit the meaning of “Yi Shot Down the Suns” of Han dynasty by investigating the composition arrangement of the tree, bird and shooter. The second section focused on the sunbird appeared with Xi-he and Fu-xi, by comparing the archaeological finds of the Neolithic Age, Qin and Han dynasty and the descriptions in classical literatures to analyze how did sunbird transit from the Warring States to Han dynasty. The last section focused on sunbird mythology of the “three-legged crow” that always came along with the Queen Mother of the West. Finding the connections among the Queen Mother of the West, bird messenger of Queen Mother of the West and three-legged bird from classical literatures, and investigated the composition arrangement of the Queen Mother of the West and three-legged crow and the sunbird mythology of Han that derived from three-legged crow. Literary anthropology leads the mainstream of contemporary mythology research, interpreting the original meanings of primitive art, such as paintings, carvings and antiquities by scientific methods and bringing broader research space for literature study. This thesis applied the investigation method of literary anthropology to study the images on those archaeological stone reliefs, and tried to reinterpret the meanings of sunbird from ancient times to Han dynasty by exploiting their composition arrangements in hopes of getting back the fragments of the long-forgotten sunbird mythology.

A stone relief, which was originally dedicated to burials, provides salient historical evidence in terms of political, economical and social development in Han Dynasty. The aim of the historical research is to explore the development of the popular beliefs in Han Dynasty, by analyzing the evolution of the images on stone reliefs in terms of immortals and exorcism with literature review as well as image analysis. The findings suggested: 1.The immortal images on stone reliefs revealed the ideology of Yin- Yang in Han Dynasty. Xi-wang-mu （the Queen Mother of the Western Heavens）and Dong-wang-gong（the Duke Father of the Eastern Heavens）appeared on the reliefs as a couple in the immortal world, and so did Fu-xi and Nu-wa. Xi-wang-mu was regarded as the most honorable goddess for keeping the elixir, whilst Fu-xi and Nu-wa represented the progenitor and the goddess of reproduction in respect. These reliefs illustrated the longing for immortality. 2.The exorcism images on stone reliefs, such as the animal-faced images (in which the creature held a metal ring in the mouth) on doors, images of the four holy creatures, and Nuo, were used to remove evil spirits and protect the spirits of the dead. The exorcism images on stone reliefs depicted people’s fear of evil and their superstitions in Han Dynasty. In conclusion, it can be seen from the religious content of stone reliefs that people in Han Dynasty longed for eternity and immortality. The manifestation of popular beliefs in Han Dynasty was based on the beliefs of immortality and witchcraft.

This essay provides a comparison of select testimonies of the enduring tradition of Convitato di pietra (The Stone Guest) in Central and Southern Italy from the late 17th to the early 19th century. The text by Perrucci, the scenario from the Casamarciano collection, the anonymous revision located in the Italian Castle Archive at the Beinecke Library at Yale, and Abri’s opera tragica (which relies significantly on Perrucci’s setting) testify to the longevity of this plot – as well as of the Spanish repertoire – on the stage, in spite of notable changes, which reveal dramatic transformations in taste and sensitivity on the part of theatre practitioners and the audience.

Abstract:
AbstractThe investigation of the four relief agencies’ organizational models – undertaken by combining analysis of websites, strategic documents and policy guidelines with fieldwork and interviews with NGO staffers – has shown the different ways in which each organization works. Exploration of the different sectors of intervention has highlighted the different roles NGOs want to have not only in the lives of their beneficiaries but more generally in the governance system of their communities. As illustrated in Chap. 10.1007/978-3-030-71143-6_5, the spectrum of activities is quite wide. Save the Children focuses on education and child protection (mainly through psychosocial support) complementary advocacy to secure policy change to enable a better world for children; Oxfam prioritizes ‘giving voice’ to the voiceless, water and sanitation, psychosocial support, legal counselling, combined also with a vigorous advocacy and influencing program to create lasting solutions to injustice and poverty. CARE has a similar focus on voice and empowerment especially for women and girls. Its gender transformative approach informs its work on protection, responses to gender-based violence) distribution of relief items, and, to a lesser extent, water and sanitation. As with Save the Children and Oxfam, CARE sets store by advocacy for policy reforms to end poverty and gender inequality. For its part, MSF operations focused on medical assistance, ranging from primary health care, surgery, mental health and psychosocial support, and medical evacuation. For MSF, belief in the power of témoignage has driven denunciations of those who hinder humanitarian action or divert aid and also critique of the wider disfunctionalities of the humanitarian system itself.

Abstract:
Abstract[Context] In manufacturing industries, the design of a product needs to comply with many design rules. These rules are essentials as they help industrial designers to create high quality design in an efficient way. [Problem] However, the management of an ever-increasing number of design rules becomes a real problem, especially for new designers. Even if there exists some knowledge management tools for design rules, their capabilities are still limited and many companies continue to store their design rules in unstructured documents. Nowadays, design rule application is still a difficult task that needs a circular validation process between many expert services in a manufacturing company. [Proposition] In this paper, we will analyze the main existing approaches for design rules application from which we will demonstrate the need of a new approach to improve the current state-of-the-art practices. To minimize rule application impact on the design process, we propose to develop a Context-Aware Design Assistant that will perform design rule recommendation on the fly while designing using computer-aided technologies. Our Design Assistant relies on the modelling of the design rules and the design context in a single knowledge graph that can fuel a recommendation engine. [Future Work] In future work, we will describe the technical structure of the Context-Aware Design Assistant and develop it. The potential outcome of this research are: a better workflow integration of design rules application, a proactive verification of design solutions, a continuous learning of design rules, the detection and automation of design routines.

Abstract:
This chapter explores how mobility and politics were intertwined in the Syro-Anatolian Culture Complex (SACC). Noting that politics and movement are always related, an insight drawn from the “new mobilities paradigm” in sociology and referred to here as kinopolitics, this chapter explores this dynamic in three places. The first is the troubling presence of Phoenician inscriptions and objects in SACC that have long been difficult to interpret historically. Here it is argued that mobile Phoenician speakers must have been part of the Syro-Anatolian sociopolitical landscape, likely involved in state-sponsored commercial trade. The second is one of SACC’s most famous cultural products, the finely worked ivories that were so sought after during the Iron Age. In this case, ivory and its producers were both highly mobile across SACC. The third, the engraved stone reliefs that lined the walls of monumental buildings, is the most counterintuitive. Despite appearances, evidence from nearly all cases where such reliefs have been found indicates that they were constantly being reused in new constructions, indicating that such movement was a cultural significant practice.

Abstract:
Pipeline integrity has been threatened at the Dead Horse Creek pipeline crossing in southern Manitoba by a slow-moving slope failure with a potential for crest retrogression. The movement zone extends from the slope crest to the bottom of the creek, a vertical distance of about 25 m and is approximately 80 m long from toe to scarp and 100 m wide along the creek. The slope has degraded over time and is controlled by the combination of local geology, which consists of weak colluvium overlying high plastic clay shale, and creek bank erosion and channel degradation. Saturated soil conditions, a function of poor drainage and elevated seasonal precipitation, have exacerbated the problem over the years. The slope movements have been monitored on a regular basis since 2008 and presented an increasing risk to the integrity of multiple pipelines located in two rights-of-way (ROWs) situated within and immediately adjacent to the failing soil mass. The site is surrounded by various infrastructure and recreational areas that are key to the community, and therefore is considered a high consequence area with respect to potential pipeline failures. To manage the risk and protect pipeline integrity, various stress relief and other mitigating measures have been implemented since 2013 [1], culminating in a major slope rehabilitation project undertaken in 2015, which comprised earthworks, drainage and watercourse improvements, and slope stabilization using stone columns. While the use of stone columns to stabilize embankments is not a new technique, it is not commonly used in the pipeline industry and represents another option for geohazard stabilization in the right situations. This paper presents the slope stabilization techniques employed and discusses the challenges of working on an active moving slope confined by a watercourse and live pipeline assets. The positive benefits of the stabilization measures are illustrated through the use of 2D and 3D numerical modelling, and confirmed through an ongoing geohazard management program that includes site inspection and instrumentation monitoring which continues to show improvements in slope performance post construction.

Abstract:
Coarse aggregate is an essential component of concrete which influences the properties of concrete. Generally, natural crushed stones are being used for the concrete production. The increased demand of aggregates for concrete production can be countered by using alternate aggregates. Production of artificial aggregates from industrial wastes appear as a promising and sustainable alternative to natural aggregates as it helps in utilizing large amount of industrial byproducts in concrete, reduces environmental pollution and also relieves the issues involved in their waste disposal. Hence, this study aims at the utilization of industrial wastes (fly ash and slag) for the manufacture of synthetic aggregates which could be a potential sustainable alternative for the coarse aggregates. Cold bonded pelletized aggregates were prepared by using alkali-activated Class F fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag. Alkali mixture of sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) and 10M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution were used for the chemical activation of fly ash and slag. Two types of synthetic aggregates were prepared using the fabricated disc pelletizer; mix containing only slag and another mix with equal proportion of fly ash and slag, and the aggregates were heat cured for 24 hours. Tests were done to determine properties such as aggregate surface texture and shape, particle size distribution, bulk density and specific gravity, and the results were compared with the properties of normal aggregates (natural crushed stones). The results indicate that synthetic aggregates made by alkali activation of fly ash and slag could be a potential alternative to the crushed stones.

Abstract:
This paper presents the design and preliminary evaluation of an elastic lower-body exoskeleton (eExo). Human legs behave in a spring-like fashion while running. We selected a design that relied solely on material elasticity to store and release energy during the stance phase of running. The exoskeleton included a novel knee joint with a cam and a Bowden cable transferring energy to and from a waist-mounted extension spring. We used a friction-lock clutch controlled by hip angle via a pneumatic cylinder to release the cable during swing phase for free movement of the leg. The design also incorporated a composite leaf spring to store and release energy in the distal portion of the exoskeleton about the foot and ankle. Preliminary test data for our target subject showed that his typical leg deflection was 0.11 m with leg stiffness of 16 kN/m while running at 3.0 m/s. We used these values to set the desired stiffness (60±15% of the normal leg stiffness, or 9.6±2.4 kN/m) and deflection (0.11 m) of the exoskeleton. We created simplified multi-body and full finite element quasi-static models to achieve the desired system stiffness and validate our results, respectively. The final design model had an overall stiffness of 7.3 kN/m, which was within the desired range. We fabricated a single-leg prototype of the exo–skeleton that weighed 7.1 kg. We tested the exoskeleton stiffness quasi-statically and found a stiffness of 3.6 kN/m. While running, the exoskeleton provided ∼30% of the total leg stiffness for two subjects. Although the stiffness was lower than desired, the fabricated prototype demonstrated the ability of a quasi-passive exoskeleton to provide a significant portion of an individual’s leg stiffness while running.

Abstract:
Abstract Technology adoption in low-income regions is among the key challenges facing international development projects. Nearly 40% of the world’s population relies on open fires and rudimentary cooking devices exacerbating health outcomes, deforestation, and climatic impacts of inefficient biomass burning. Clean technology alternatives such as clean cookstoves are among the most challenging technologies to approach their target goals through sustainable adoption due to lack of systematic market-driven design for adoption. Thus, a method is needed to provide insight regarding how target customers evaluate and perceive causes for adopting a clean technology. The holistic approach of this study captures the three main aspects of technology adoption through lenses of social networks, individual and society scale beliefs, and rational decision-making behavior. Based on data collected in the Apac region in Northern Uganda, an Agent-Based Model is developed to simulate emerging adoption behavior in a community. Then, four different scenarios investigate how adoption patterns change due to potential changes in technology or intervention strategy. These scenarios include influence of stove malfunctions, price elasticity, information campaigns, and strength of social network. Results suggest that higher adoption rates are achievable if designed technologies are more durable, information campaigns provide realistic expectations for users, policy makers and education programs work toward women’s empowerment, and communal social ties are recognized for influence maximization. Application of this study provides insight for technology designers, project implementers, and policy makers to update their practices for achieving sustainable and to the scale clean technology adoption rates.

Abstract:
Green technologies are a mandate in a world concerned with saving resources and protecting the environment. Oil-free turbocharger systems for passenger and commercial vehicles dispense with the lubricant in the internal combustion engine, hence eliminating not just oil coking, but also suppressing nonlinear behavior, instability and excessive noise; all factors to poor reliability and premature mechanical failure. The work hereby presented is a stepping stone in a concerted effort towards developing a computational design tool integrating both radial and thrust foil gas bearings for oil-free automotive turbochargers. The paper presents the physical analysis and numerical model for prediction of the static and dynamic forced performance of gas thrust foil bearings (GTFBs). A laminar flow, thin film flow model governs the generation of hydrodynamic pressure and a finite element plate model determines the elastic deformation of a top foil and its support bump strip layers. For a specified load, the analysis predicts the minimum gas film thickness, deformation and pressure fields, the drag torque and power loss, and the axial stiffness and damping force coefficients, respectively. Open-source archival test data on load capacity and drag torque serves to benchmark some of the model predictions. Next, predictions are obtained for a GTFB configuration designed for an oil-free turbocharger operating at increasing gas temperatures, axial loads, and shaft rotational speeds. The largest drag torque occurs at the highest temperature since the gas viscosity is also highest, whereas the largest load determines operation with a minute film thickness that sets a limit for the manufacturing tolerance. While airborne, the drag friction factor for the bearing is small, ranging from 0.009 to 0.015, thus demonstrating the advantage of an air bearing technology over engine oil lubricated bearings. The synchronous speed axial stiffness increases with operating speed (and load), whereas the axial damping coefficient remains nearly invariant. The operating gas temperature plays an insignificant role on the variation of the force coefficients with frequency whereas the operating speed and the ensuing applied thrust load determine the largest changes. The model predicts, as an excitation frequency (ω) increases, a GTFB axial stiffness (Kz) that hardens and a damping coefficient (Cz) that quickly vanishes. The most important finding is that CzΩ/Kz ≈ γ = the material loss factor for the bearing. Hence, the success of foil bearing technology relies on the selection of a metal underspring structure that offers the largest mechanical energy dissipation characteristics.

Abstract:
This paper details the design of a shipping container concept with a purpose of being not only highly efficient in transport but also after arrival. In order to reduce mass while also increasing the ability to carry heavier loads, Lightweight structures and materials are employed instead of simple steels or cast iron used in current designs. The second goal of the design was to create a weld free structure that can be easily assembled and disassembled without the need for special labor and skills saving time, space and resources when shipping empty container or storing containers that are not in use. Shipping containers often clutter construction sites and temporary establishments like concerts and flea markets. By being able to break down and efficiently store containers businesses in charge of these temporary establishments can save valuable real estate and run much more efficiently. Another design feature is creating an entirely modular system. Each container is made from completely interchangeable parts that can be swapped in and out for ones that have different function like container variations that provides insulation or active temperature or humidity control for temperature sensitive products or high security configurations for hazardous materials or expensive goods. In order to provide such interchangeability, the frame is designed to be strong and rigid enough to be able to handle the required loads without relying on wall plates. The combination of these design points leads to a transportation system that can not only be deployed using existing intermodal infrastructure but can serve a secondary purpose once it arrives at its destination. Because the containers are modular and highly versatile, they can be assembled into large floor space, multistory structures. Containers and trailers normally used as office space at construction sites are cramped, uncomfortable and very unsightly. Using this system, large two story office space of several thousand square feet can be erected using no more than a dozen containers. The modular walls can be used to swap in ceiling or wall panels that let in natural light, harness solar power or allow plumbing systems, electrical wiring, thermal insulation or ventilation. Because of the weld-free design and ultra-lightweight components, structure assembly and disassembly is simple with unskilled labor and common tools. This is especially important because the most impactful application of this system could be in disaster relief. Single containers can be used as substitutes for single family homes and large container assemblies can be used to create anything kind of community use structure from shower clusters to temporary schools to dining halls to administrative buildings creating a sustainable temporary community.
