Full text

Abstract:

This paper examines the effect of burden sharing in peacekeeping operations (both among contingent troops and in the entirety of the mission) and effectiveness, specifically whether a party chooses to renege on a peace agreement. The author hypothesizes that burden sharing will make it less likely that a party reneges on a peace agreement. The theoretical argument made in the paper is that burden sharing will help in solving the commitment problem inherent to peace agreements, by signaling to the combatants that the peacekeeping mission is there to stay (and won’t be vulnerable to a potential withdrawal from an important contributor), as well as signaling that there is international support for punishing measures against a party who would renege on the agreement. The paper examines all peacekeeping missions that deployed following a peace agreement between 1992-2016 using data on peacekeeping contributions from the United Nations. The hypotheses will however not be supported by the empirics. In fact there is limited evidence for burden sharing among contingent troops to increase the likelihood that a party chooses to renege on a peace agreement, while burden sharing among all personnel (military and civilian) have no effect on the matter.

Abstract:

Our built environment has the power to influence where we live and work, how we transport ourselves, how and what we consume and many other behaviors in our everyday lives, in other words, it has a significant impact on our global environment and economy. Given the notable need for more sustainable development of both the global environment and economy, sustainability has become a critical factor also in the area of urban development. With this as a backdrop, the construction industry and its many actors, such as clients, contractors and suppliers, that collectively drive urban development, play a significant role in creating sustainable development. Innovation is a cornerstone to achieve development, so also in the construction industry. However, with its many interrelated organizations, projects and actors, innovation inevitably becomes inter-organizational. From an urban development perspective, inter-organizational innovation will happen in a multi-project context where several construction projects, led and executed by different actors from different organizations, become interdependent and are therefore required to collaborate. In any construction project, the client holds a key position and has been identified as a critical supporter for successful innovation and collaboration. On the back of these dynamics, the purpose of this licentiate thesis is to explore clients’ role in a multi-project context where inter-organizational innovation is initiated to drive sustainable urban development. From a contingency perspective, the purpose of this study has been explored through a multiple-case study where coordinated construction logistics, during the study, has been identified as inter-organizational innovation. The study has shown that coordinated construction logistics, developed for a multi-project context, must be developed and implemented differently than in a single project or organization. In other words, coordinated construction logistics can take the form of different types of construction innovation. The construction clients, in this thesis the building developers, are identified as being important to support innovation and collaboration within and between parallel and sequential projects. The study has also shown that different clients behave differently when inter-organizational innovation is present; whilst some are proactive to achieve development, others are hesitant and less supportive for change. The findings suggest that long-term committed clients take a more proactive stand for innovation, for example, by including innovation in their procurement strategies and reflecting on how to best implement it in their projects. Additionally, in a multi-project context, the collaboration between clients is found to be important in order to successfully implement innovation, for example to align procurement strategies with the next-door neighbors and to create opportunities to communicate with each other. A theoretical contribution from this thesis is that coordinated construction logistics, which is often seen from a supply-chain management perspective, could be considered as inter-organizational innovation. This conclusion expands the understanding of the empirical phenomenon and its context. Furthermore, adding to the on-going discussion on clients as innovation supporters, their role as a potential innovation supporter is established in a multi-project perspective, but where differences between different types of clients must be taken into account. The multi-project context also implies an increased need for client collaboration, which is often informal, why the clients themselves need to handle all the aspects of collaboration. Tentative findings indicate that in this context time, spatiality, innovation and requirements will affect this collaboration. From a practical side, the findings show that initiating and implementing inter-organizational innovation requires understanding of the context, such as project objectives and the system. For clients and governments active in urban development, the thesis can guide the understanding of the importance of collaboration and choosing procurement strategy for inter-organizational innovation.

Abstract:

Rex Stout maintained his popular readership despite the often controversial and radical political content expressed in his detective fiction. His political ideals often made him many enemies. Stances such as his ardent opposition to censorship, racism, Nazism, Germany, Fascism, Communism, McCarthyism, and the unfettered FBI were potentially offensive to colleagues and readers from various political backgrounds. Yet Stout attempted to present radical messages via the content of his detective fiction with subtlety. As a literary traditionalist, he resisted using his fiction as a platform for an often extreme political agenda. Where political messages are apparent in his work, Stout employs various techniques to mute potentially offensive messages. First, his hugely successful bantering Archie Goodwin-Nero Wolfe detective duo—a combination of both the lippy American and the tidy, sanitary British detective schools—fosters exploration, contradiction, and conflict between political viewpoints. Archie often rejects or criticizes Wolfe's extreme political viewpoints. Second, Stout utilizes the contradictions between values that occur when the form of detective fiction counters his radical political messages. This suggests that the form of detective fiction (in this case the conventional patterns and attitudes reinforced by the genre) is as important as the content (in this case the muted political message or the lack of overt politics) in reinforcing or shaping political, economic, moral, and social viewpoints. An analysis of the novels The Black Mountain (1954) and The Doorbell Rang (1965) and the novellas "Not Quite Dead Enough" and "Booby Trap" (1944) from Stout's Nero Wolfe series demonstrates his use of detective fiction for both the expression of political viewpoints and the muting of those political messages.

Abstract:

In many developing countries, natural gas, wood, or biomass fired cookstoves find prolific usage. These cookstoves are constructed without paying much too attention to their thermal efficiency. In this study, a computational heat transfer analysis of a generic third-world cookstove is conducted with the goal to understand the effect of various operating conditions and geometric parameters on the overall heat transfer characteristics and thermal efficiency. A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model, including turbulence and heat transfer by all three modes, was first created. The model was first validated against experimental data, also collected as part of this study. Unknown parameters in the model were calibrated to better match experimental observations. It is generally believed that placing a skirt around the stove and cook-pot enhances thermal efficiency. The model was explored to study the effects several skirt-related parameters. These include the vertical position of the skirt, the width of the gap between the skirt and the cook-pot, and the thermal conductivity of the skirt (insulating vs. conducting material). It was found that the skirt must either be made out of an insulating material or insulated on the outer surface for it to provide maximum benefits. It was also found that it must be placed at an optimum distance away from the cook-pot for maximum thermal efficiency.

Abstract:

Abstract The development of lead-free small caliber weapon systems has inadvertently resulted in rounds with more material penetration capabilities. The increased penetration may mean that existing live-fire facilities will no longer be adequate for the training and certification of military and law enforcement personnel. Constraints on training in many live-fire shoot house facilities are already in place, with some allowing only single round impact during training. With no existing constitutive model for the cellular concrete commonly used in these facilities, it is not currently possible to analyze existing facilities or design new facilities against the most recent generation of ammunition currently being fielded. This project utilizes unconfined compression, uniaxial tension, triaxial confinement, and uniaxial strain from the US Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center and Sandia National Laboratory to characterize cellular concrete using a Holmquist-Johnson-Cook Concrete model for use in numerical simulations. This model is then initially validated using data from existing single projectile impact experiments against a similar material, showing results with reasonable accuracy. Additional experiments to fully validate the proposed model are discussed. This model provides the facility owner a potential tool to validate the safety of their facility against new projectiles and provides the designer of new facilities a tool for optimizing future configurations using these materials.

Abstract:

Hardness test results provide a convenient and economical means of specifying material performance characteristics and are useful in quality control. Quantifiable hardness testing is at least 150 years old but, due to the complex deformation processes that occur during indentation, in many ways physical insights on the test are still lacking. Finite element codes can now accurately simulate complex, time-varying stress and strain states. Such codes can be used as a tool to study the hardness test and with the knowledge gained perhaps make such testing more useful for validating the material models used for impact simulations. In this paper the EPIC finite element code with the Johnson-Cook strength model was used to numerically simulate. Brinell, and Rockwell B, C, and F hardness tests (as appropriate) for 24 different metals.

Full text

Abstract:

Thermal analysis employing a full conjugation model is performed in this study for laminar airflow in a parallel-plate channel with discrete flush-mounted heat sources. The numerical model accounts for mixed convection, surface radiation, and two-dimensional conduction in the substrate. The effects of Reynolds number, surface emissivity of walls and heat sources, as well as thickness and thermal conductivity of the substrate, are analyzed in detail. It is shown that participation of radiation brings the wall temperatures closer, and the trend of temperature variation along the top wall is drastically altered. Such effects are pronounced for black enclosures and diminished for high Reynolds numbers. The influence of substrate conductivity and thickness is very similar in that a large value for both parameters would facilitate redistribution of heat and tend to yield a uniform temperature field in the substrate. For highly conductive or thick substrate, the ‘hot spot’ cools down and may move upstream to the penultimate source. Radiation loss to the ambient increases with substrate conductivity and thickness due to the elevated temperature near the inlet and outlet, yet the total heat transfer over the bottom surface by convection and radiation remains unaltered.

In 16th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering. ASMEDC, 2008. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/icone16-48809.

Full text

Abstract:

In a PWR plant, on top of the pressurizer, there’s spray line that cools the reactor coolant. The amount of minimum flow rate is considered to be insufficient to fulfill the pipe completely during commercial operation of the plant, so it is concerned that there is a surface of water in the pipe and it may periodically sway due to condensation of the steam from the pressurizer during commercial operation. In order to identify the flow conditions in the spray line piping and assess its impact on thermal stress, flow visualization experiment were conducted. In the experiment, air is used in substitute of steam to simulate the gas phase of the pressurizer. With a full scale mock-up made of acrylic, flow under room temperature and atmospheric pressure condition was visualized and the locations where periodical swaying of water surface may be observed were identified. The period of swaying and its extent is roughly estimated based on the experiment. Based on the visualization experiment, 3 patterns of swaying of water surface were assumed and the amplitude of thermal stress fluctuation when the layer swayed instantaneously was calculated. Thus, with the assumed 3 patterns of swaying based on the visualization experiment, it was confirmed that the amplitude of thermal stress would not exceed the endurance limit defined in the Japanese design and construction code.

Full text

Abstract:

Deep at the heart of any fuel cell system lays a crucial component, the power inverter. The design of this crucial component is a challenge for fuel cell systems due to packaging, thermal and electrical constraints. Unless the inverter is adequately and uniformly cooled it will suffer material degradation and premature failure. The search for a thermally viable inverter design is one of many challenges facing the fuel cell industry today. In this research effort several cooling techniques were considered such as pin-finned design, “cook-top” serpentine flow field, a “fish bone” fin design, high thermal conductivity graphite foam, heat pipes and aluminum extrusion with expanded metal turbulator. The pin-finned design techniques were evaluated using computational fluid dynamics. In order to enable design engineers to rapidly generate optimum designs two simplified techniques were introduced using the CFD results. 1) Formulas for computing the film coefficient based on spacing, side and configuration are provided for thermal finite element analysis that includes conduction and convection. This technique is an order of magnitude faster than the CFD analysis. 2) Behavioral modeling, an optimization technique imbedded within a feature based parametric CAD system is utilized to automatically size and build the solid model of the pin-finned design. The designer input is the heat that needs to be rejected and the available space. Behavioral modeling generates the design and plots the temperature distribution.

Full text

Abstract:

While improved cookstoves have been designed and distributed for decades with the goal of addressing the human health and environmental issues caused by traditional biomass cooking methods, they often have not achieved the intended impact. One of the main reasons for this shortcoming is that engineers often focus on technical attributes of cookstove designs, such as improved fuel and combustion efficiency, but neglect usability. If a stove design does not meet a cook’s needs and preferences, the stove will likely be used only as a supplement to a traditional stove, or not used at all. To help close this gap, a testing protocol for cookstove usability was developed. The proposed protocol is based on established usability practices from fields such as software and consumer product design, and includes usability criteria taken from existing cookstove research and interviews with subject experts. The protocol includes objective and subjective testing methods, is designed to elicit user perceptions of and the relative importance of each usability criterion in a given context, and incorporates ethnographic methods to improve validity in cross-cultural applications and in diverse testing scenarios. This protocol may be useful to stove designers as a way to better understand users and validate or improve designs, to implementers as a method to assist with the selection of the most appropriate stove for a project, and to researchers as a tool to assess cookstoves and cookstove programs. Preliminary field and laboratory work to test the validity of the protocol demonstrated a mixture of meaningful and uncertain results, indicating that while it is a reasonable tool to assess cookstove usability, the protocol requires interpretation of qualitative data and assessment of uncertainty to be most effective.

Abstract:

During the last decades, the importance of machining in manufacturing industry has required rigorous scientific studies concerning the chip formation process in order to determine optimal speeds, feeds or other technological parameters. For all types of machining including turning, milling, grinding, honing or lapping, the phenomenon of chip formation is similar in terms of the local interaction between the tool and the work piece. Because of the intensive use of CNC machine tools producing parts at ever-faster rates, it has become important to provide analysis of high speed cutting where complex loading conditions occur during the fabrication process: high gradients of the thermo-mechanical variables, strong nonlinearities of the thermo-mechanical coupling, large plastic strains, extremely high strain rates compared to that of other forming processes, important influence of the contact friction and of the microstructure evolution. Today many scientific researches are focalized on finite element analyses of the chip formation and of its morphology evolution during a high speed metals cutting process. To improve the quality of the numerical predictions, a better description of the local shear band formation is needed, using adequate rheological models. On this point of view this paper deals with the influence of the rheological behavior formulation on the morphology and geometry of the chip formation during a finite element simulation of a high speed metal cutting process. Numerical simulations of a high speed orthogonal cutting of special steels are employed to analysis the sensitivity of the numerical results describing the local cutting area with respect to different rheological laws: Norton-Hoff or Cowper-Symonds model, Johnson-Cook one or Zerilli-Armstrong formulation. To obtain a better description of the local material loadings and to take into account the important gradient of the strain rate, plastic strain and temperature values, a more adequate constitutive model is proposed by the author.
