In this study, shear and peel stress distributions in the viscoelastic adhesive layer of a single-lap joint (SLJ) with functionally graded (FG) adherends are investigated. The study focuses on the effect of different adherend profiles and material composition on the time-dependent stress concentration/distribution in balanced and unbalanced SLJs. For this purpose, the Reddy model is applied to ...

A weak form Galerkin finite element model for the nonlinear quasi-static and fully transient analysis of initially straight viscoelastic beams is developed using the kinematic assumptions of the third-order Reddy beam theory. The formulation assumes linear viscoelastic material properties and is applicable to problems involving small strains and moderate rotations. The viscoelastic constitutive...

Levinson and Lerner provide compelling evidence that reforms to the mental health system in Israel led to significant declines in institutional-based care. These declines are similar to those found in other high income countries over the same time period. Additional evidence on concurrent changes to the amount and quality of care in community settings is an important area for future research.

We derive a quantum mechanical correction to the semiclassical Fermi golden rule operator for scattering of electrons in a crystal. This correction takes into account the fact that electron-phonon interaction is not instantaneous in quantum mechanics. The corrective term is derived via an oscillatory, i.e., weak, limit in the Levinson equation for large timescales.

The special equation (1) was studied in detail by Cartwright and Littlewood [1, 5, 6]; ([1] is an announcement of results, [5, 6] were written by Littlewood alone but describe the joint work announced in [1]). Established facts for (...

Correspondence to: D. Levinson (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract. This paper examines the full costs, defined as the sum of private and social costs, of a high-speed rail system proposed for a corridor connecting Los Angeles and San Francisco in California. The full costs include infrastructure, fleet capital and operating expenses, the time users spend on the system, and the soc...

Summary The article analyses German-Lithuanian business negotiations in the English language, focusing on questions of dynamics power and solidarity (Tannen, 1993, 1995), realized through various politeness strategies (Brown & Levinson, 1987). In evaluation audio material determination type conversation as “business negotiation”, it has been assumed that this is a communication situation wh...
