While toughening and damage might seem to be two contradictory concepts for the mechanics of crack growth, they are actually the same phenomena perceived from two different vantage points. Similarly, the concepts of extrinsic and intrinsic toughening, defined in terms of whether a toughening mechanism occurs behind or ahead of a crack, depend on the definition of a crack tip that, in the absenc...

We show that many uncountable admissible ordinals (including some cardinals) as well as all countable admissible ordinals have cohesive subsets. Exactly which cardinals have cohesive subsets, however, is shown to depend on set-theoretic assumptions such as V=L or a large cardinal axiom. The study of recursion theory on the ordinals was initiated by Takeuti and then generalized by several others...

hydrodynamics and sediment transport model used to determine the longand short-term stability of dredged material mounds. This technical note (TN) introduces a new cohesive sediment transport submodel for LTFATE, which includes a combined current-wave shear stress calculation and a layered sediment bed model. LTFATE can be accessed via the Internet at the following address: http://www.wes.army....

This study was framed on the theory of Language Socialisation and a Systematic Functional Linguistic (SFL) approach. The aim of the study was to analyse the oral presentation discourse produced by an elemen- tary Iranian English as Second Language (ESL) postgraduate student in an American university four times (September/December, 2015 and March/September, 2016) over one year. The data were col...

This study, ‘A Lexico-Semantic Analysis of Helon Habila’s Oil on Water’ examines how meaning is negotiated through the use some cohesive devices in text. Previous studies have concentrated treatment environmental issues without much attention paid to are coalesced text produce meaning. Data for analysis range from page one hundred primary text, Water. Also, study focused a qualitative research ...

In this study, two advanced computational text analysis tools were used to catalogue lexical and cohesive features of deceptive language and language accordance (i.e., agreement/disagreement on topic of conversation) in a corpus of dyadic conversations. The study specifically focused on how the variable of accordance conditions the process of deception in terms of lexical and cohesive features....

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...
