Reporting What Matters, or Reporting What Looks Good? Materiality and Balance in Post–Rana Plaza Apparel Sustainability Disclosure

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability reports (SRs) are widely criticized for vague disclosures and selective emphasis on positive outcomes, yet systematic research on two core SR challenges remains limited: materiality (whether disclosed content is relevant) and balance (whether both achievements and challenges are reported).

Cyclic Ratcheting Resistance of Buried Pipelines

open access: yes, 2017
Upheaval buckling (UHB) is a common issue for high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) pipelines. The out-of-straightness (OOS) of the buried pipelines combined with the high axial compressive forces induced by the extreme operating conditions causes ...

Tribological Study of Chisel Knives in Sandy Soil

open access: yesAgriculture, 2023
This paper presents the interaction system within the mechanical soil processing process, consisting of two large elements, the metal of the tool and the soil. Due to the two main forces acting on the chisel knives—friction and impact with the sandy soil—

ISSUES RELATED TO RATCHETING IN PIPING COMPONENTS [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
PresentationMaterial and piping component test data involving ratcheting are discussed in regards to the phenomenon of shakedown. The data set studied indicates that the general belief about the occurrence of shakedown after a few cycles of ratcheting ...

Bending Ratcheting Tests of Z2CND18.12 Stainless Steel

open access: yes, 2010
A series of ratcheting experiments under bending loading for Z2CND18.12 stainless steel were carried out on a dynamic mechanical analyzer. The characteristic of progressive inelastic deformation of the material in the different temperatures and different

Patents as Green Signals: Capital Market Responses to Corporate Green Innovation in Carbon‐ and Energy‐Intensive Firms

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adopting a signaling perspective, this study examines whether corporate green patenting reduces the cost of equity by mitigating information asymmetry in capital markets. Using longitudinal panel data from South Korea, we find that green patenting—encapsulating technological innovation related to energy, environmental protection, and climate ...

Photoreversible Polyurea Actuators With Spatiotemporal Control and Adaptive Mechanics

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A light–thermal responsive polyurea network incorporating reversibly dimerizable anthracene units enables spatiotemporal modulation of cross‐linking density and nearly 400‐fold stiffness tuning. Integrating programmable anisotropy, photopatterning, self‐healing, and photowelding within a single framework, this bioinspired “one network–multifunction ...

A Cyclic Constitutive Model Based on Fractional Derivative for Rate-Dependent Ratcheting of EA4T Axle Steel

open access: yesFractal and Fractional
Within the framework of elastoplastic theory, this study develops and improves a fractional cyclic constitutive model capable of describing rate-dependent ratcheting behavior by defining the ratcheting parameter as a function of the cumulative plastic ...

Self-loosening behavior of bolt in curvic coupling due to materials ratcheting at thread root

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2019
This article presents the bolt self-loosening mechanism in curvic coupling due to the structural ratcheting under cyclic loading. Finite element simulations are carried out under several loading conditions with different preloads and cyclic torque ...

A new four-dimensional ratcheting boundary : derivation and numerical validation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
A new four-dimensional ratcheting boundary is derived analytically for the first time considering the interaction among four types of stresses: constant mechanical membrane stress, mechanical bending stress, cyclic thermal membrane stress, and thermal ...
