A new smooth failure criterion for concrete inspired by Lubliner's condition

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract A new failure criterion with 10 parameters is proposed, based on Lubliner's idea of joining two Drucker–Prager cones. The novelty lies in the way of introducing deviatoric shape variation: through two Podgórski's functions. This feature allows for improving plane stress cross‐section's compatibility with experimental data.

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract Remarkably little is known about what factors drive success or failure in foreign policy. In part, this is because there is little fundamental agreement on what constitutes success or failure in this domain in the first place. This article engages with these shortcomings by comparing two similar regional order‐building initiatives overseen by ...

Change the world farm by farm: The moral care of audit and the paradox of animal welfare inspection in Europe Changer le monde, ferme par ferme : le soin moral de l'audit et le paradoxe des contrôles du bien‐être animal en Europe

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
In European animal welfare inspection on farms and at slaughter, inspectors encounter moral challenges that reveal the paradox at the heart of animal welfare.
