the problem of several finite moving cracks in a functionally graded material is solved by dislocation technique under the condition of anti-plane deformation. by using the fourier transform the stress fields are obtained for a functionallygraded strip containing a screw dislocation. the stress components reveal the familiar cauchy singularity at thelocation of dislocation. the solution is empl...

Every society has its own culture, values, and ideology. Translations convey the meaning as well as cultural and ideological values, beliefs, ideas and norms from source culture to target culture. One type of translation which nowadays is popular among people, and can attract so many audiences in different ages is Audiovisual Translation (AVT), particularly dubbing. If there is difference betwe...

In recent years, a number of different authors have stressed the usefulness of non-linear dynamic systems approach in suicide research and suicide prevention. This approach applies specific methods of time series analysis and, consequently, it requires a continuous and fine-meshed assessment of the processes under consideration. The technical means for this kind of process assessment and proces...

During hurricane events, large stress cycles from the non-stationary wind and dynamic vehicle loads could possibly induce damage initiations and propagations. Utilizing the non-stationary wind field modeling techniques and the recent developed vehicle-bridge-wind dynamic analysis framework, this paper initiates the bridge fatigue damage assessment of bridges under vehicle and non-stationary ext...

Software architecture is probably one of the best approaches to take non-functional requirements into consideration early on in a development process. Some of these requirements, for instance performance and high availability, are usually implemented as dynamic reconfigurations. Current architecture design methodology does not provide sufficient support for these types of systems. These dynamic...
