Contextualism in Normative Political Theory and the Problem of Critical Distance [PDF]
Ethical Theory and Moral Practice, 2019 Political theory is contextualist when factual claims about context are part of the justification of normative political judgments. There are different kinds of contextualism depending on whether context is relevant for the formulation and justification of political principles (methodological contextualism), whether principles themselves are ...

A new proposal of effective stress and critical distance for fatigue at notches
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2014 The Theory of Critical Distance (TCD) and its associated methods have proved useful for predicting fatigue and fracture failure under stress gradients. This work reports the first analytical deduction of the effective stress and its critical distance in ...

Critical Theory in Adorno and Marcuse [PDF]
Polis: Revista de Stiinte Politice, 2016 Critical Theory is the key-word representing all the universe of thought commonly known as „Frankfurt School”. Within it, Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno and Herbert Marcuse are not so far each other, as instead are Max Horkheimer and Marcuse – considering ...

Theory of critical distances: A discussion on concepts and applications
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 2021 Theory of Critical Distances (TCD) collects several methods adopted in failure prediction of components provided with stress concentration features. The idea of evaluating stress effect in a zone rather than in a single point was proposed decades ago but, only thanks to relatively recent works, TCD concepts showed to be a successful extension of Linear

Geomechanics and Geophysics for Geo-Energy and Geo-Resources, 2023 Correlations between material parameters are useful because they provide a first estimation of unknown parameters. Here, the correlation between the tensile strength and the mode I fracture toughness of rocks is studied.

Applications of the theory of critical distances in failure analysis [PDF]
Engineering Failure Analysis, 2011 Abstract The Theory of Critical Distances (TCD) is the name which I use to describe a group of methods employed for the prediction of failure in cases where stress concentrations are present and where the failure mode involves cracking, such as fatigue and brittle fracture. Some of these methods are more than 50 years old, some very recent.

The influence of communication technologies and approaches to study on transactional distance in blended learning [PDF]
, 2007 This paper explores the role played by communication technologies and study orientations in the amplification and reduction of transactional distance in blended learning. Factor analysis and structural equation modelling of different communication modes (

Variations on a critical distance theme [PDF]
, 2021 We investigate how the fatigue limit of notched specimens calculated with the Theory of Critical Distance (TCD) changes when variations in the value of the critical distance itself are considered.
