Validation of the hypothesis on carrying capacity limits using the water environment carrying capacity

Science of the Total Environment, 2019
The concept of "carrying capacity" has been widely used in various disciplines in reference to human-environment sustainability. No unified cognition exists regarding carrying capacity limits for humans. As a typical type of carrying capacity, the water environment carrying capacity (WECC) has been researched for human-water environment sustainability.

The concept of carrying capacity has gained broad currency, although some population ecologists are dubious about its value. This paper assesses the utility of the concept and develops an alternative understanding of population growth. First, carrying capacity is viewed in historical perspective and evidence that is supposed to support it is criticized.

On the Carrying Capacity of Redundant Structures

Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1956
Abstract It has been shown previously (1) how the inclusion of certain nonlinear terms in the analysis of redundant trusses affects the predicted behavior of such structures in the postbuckling range. In particular, it was demonstrated that the nonlinear theory predicts states of axial stress corresponding to a general stiffening of the ...
