A novel single shear specimen (SSS) together with a correction coefficient method is used to study the deformation behavior of 304 stainless steel under loadings. Shear stress-shear strain relations over wide range rates (0.001 39000 s?1) at three initial temperatures (77 473 K) are obtained experimentally. The effects rate and temperature on flow stress curves determined. With increasing or te...

The mother lode of criminal responsibility scholarship is a unitary theory of criminal excuses, that is, a persuasive normative account of why the criminal law adjudges actors to be blameless despite their having engaged in prohibited conduct. The law’s other criminal defenses do not readily lend themselves to unitary normative accounts or, if they do, they rest on normative accounts that are s...

The Broken Hill Block contains the Paleoproterozoic Willyama Supergroup, host to world-renowned lead–zinc–silver deposits known as Line of Lode. A new large-scale geological structural interpretation has been developed based on construction 11 regional-scale cross-sections and one longitudinal section. Over an extended period major folding during Olarian Orogeny, two distinct sets regional fold...

Ontologies are knowledge constructs essential for creation of the Web of Data. Good documentation is required to permit people to understand ontologies and thus employ them correctly, but this is costly to create by tradition authorship methods, and is thus inefficient to create in this way until an ontology has matured into a stable structure. The authors describe three tools, LODE, Parrot and...

Welding is the main method for oil/gas steel pipeline connection, and a large number of girth welds are weak part pipeline. Under extremely complex loads, undergoes significant plastic deformations eventually leads to fracture. A damage mechanics model promising approach, capable describing material fracture problems according stress states materials. In this study, an uncoupled 2D with functio...
